The Japanese are supose to be one of the most advanced countries and look at what happened to them. This is a warning to all of us that we are not safe in any country. We should have learned from past mistakes. This will happen again.

Some of these folks can't go home for 30 YEARS.

Fucking nuclear energy...

SOLAR energy is the way to go!

The article should contain links to the back story, especially in Wikipedia itself. In this case, it should have had links to the reports of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

Not really sure what the expert means by 'main'radioactive element. I'm not sure this means in initial abundance or main hazard or longest half-life. There's not enough clarity in reports of nuclear accidents, and people are all to happy to become hysterical armed only with wooly facts.
