Fukushima I was scheduled to be taken out of service on 24 March 2011

It will. Regardless the fact that this disaster will have pretty much nothing to do with the age of the plant ... It had to do with the DESIGN. Shutting down old plants is idiot's, err, politician's, solution and does solve NOTHING. Requiring that all plants, whether old or new, meet stricter requirements does.

Human needs Iodine before radioactive iodine contamination, not after. radioactive iodine tries to replace Iodine in human’s thyroid gland. Human needs enough Iodine to prevent radioactive iodine penetrate his/her thyroid gland. When radioactive iodine is in the thyroid gland it is to drink Iodine. Every Belarusian knows this fact after Chernobyl catastrophe. In Belarus, thyroid gland and other cancer rates rose dozens times. Dangerous radioactive fallout as far as 300 km Chernobyl. Wind direction changed during a few days after Chernobyl catastrophe.
