That's good to know.

described just now on ITV "as a nasty accident, but not Armegeddon"

If it's safe then why have they evacuated everyone in a 12 mile radius?

They made sure of public safety by using procedures appropriate to a worst-case scenario.

DTCwordfan

well there is radiation in the air and they are talking about releasing the little white pills - but it is not a nuclear explosion.......so it is serious but not a total catastrophe. Unlike that town swamped by mud from the tsunami - and they reckon 10000+ missing there.

This is not another Chernobyl.

The nuclear material was not released into the atmosphere. I'm sure that the 'greens' will exploit this incident as reason not to use nuclear power – when simple mathematics and basic physics can show you that the world cannot be powered by wind, wave and solar power at this present time. I look forward to the time when these technologies can power the world but right now they can't.

WShee9 - “Wait till the moon collides with it....then we will see how f*cking safe it is...... “

I've just read the other thread relating to this matter and you seem concerned that the moon is about to hit the Earth. Are you insane? The moon is not about to hit us.

The moon is hurtling around the earth at about 1km per second and is being stopped from spinning off into space by the Earth's gravity. It's a simplistic explanation but I thought it was befitting bearing in mind your apparent grasp of physics. In any case, the moon cannot hit us in a literal sense due to something called the Roche limit...

its actually moving away from the earth at 4 cm per year, fact

To be fair, it would have been safe had it not been for this very strong earthquake. As we are lucky (at the moment) to be in an earthquake free zone it would not apply to this country.
