Japan Admits Full Plant Meltdowns

[BeerNuts]

I was going to post something the other day about the Japan plants and how they have totally left the news. Despite the problem still going on and the highest level of airborne radiation recorded in reactor #1 this week. But decided not to post it.. today I find another article that says that all 3 reactors probably went into full meltdowns and they are only now admitting it.

What an epic mess, they don't have plans to fix everything until mid 2012. Just think about how much radiation has spewed out of these things and floated over the US.

Yes, it is surprising how quick the public gets tired of a story, even if it is still of great importance. Reactors are built all around the world in active earthquake areas. I am all for nuclear power, however.

Everyone keeps saying this, ironically enough when a new article is published, yet in the last three weeks there have been at least 26 articles published on CNN about the Japan nuclear crisis. I don't see how it has "totally left the news"?

There are still vast numbers of birth defects and chilhood cancer in the Soviet Union due to Chernobyl.

Wasn't there a thread here about how safe atom mills are?

Yeah there was, but if you remember the thread it was all based on information that was being fed publicly, which at the time even though there was radiation leaking it was a pretty harmless amount. They haven't until recently actually admitted they where p0wned.
