Yup, read the same thing and then went and did some digging. The person interviewed in an anti-nuke activist, and therefore not exactly impartial; she's not quoted in any other reputable news source; and there is also a lot of debate as to how much Tokyo relies on groundwater for its water supply - certainly not 100%. |

You're quoting the Russian Times? That's a reputable source....  |

Thanks for doing the digging, 72308. Would you mind posting some links to the facts that you found?
I usually pooh-pooh the scaremongers, but I'm concerned about this. Not about the leak per se, but about the cause of the leak.
Let's assume the worst case scenario: the cooling pipes are badly corroded by sea water, and will be useless within a year. Do we know what will happen then? Will we just have to sit back and watch the thing cook? Maybe declare Fukushima bay as off-limits for fishing? |
