Japan's gonna keep trying to make it seem under control, while it very well may not be.

This is extremely relevant to my interest of survival because I live in Japan.

If it melted down the authorities wouldn't notify the public until they were forced to

i think that's what they are doing now. they are just delaying the process of the announcement and the media is slowly getting into it.

Yeah sure, they wouldn't do anything like have a 12 mile evacuation zone at the first sign of any trouble

The japan earthquake was planned to test the effects of natural disasters upon nuclear reactors.

If they keep it from melting down, we're looking at a nice, long, warm nuclear future.

Motherfucker, I'm <2 prefectures away from Fukushima.

Stop being sensationalist.

That picture is stupid.

Of course they're evacuating people, it's standard procedure.

They're not covering anything up.

This is the latest news. Containment is not broken!

Japanese government is shady as fuck sometimes with assholes like Governor Ishihara, but this seems like a stretch. I can't imagine the motives in not warning people when knowing how big the backlash would be for pulling this sort of bullshit.

>>A former nuclear power plant designer has said Japan is facing an extremely grave crisis and called on the government to release more information, which he said was being suppressed. Masashi Goto told a news conference in Tokyo that one of the reactors at the Fukushima-Daiichi plant was "highly unstable", and that if there was a meltdown the "consequences would be tremendous". He said such an event might be very likely indeed. So far, the government has said a meltdown would not lead to a sizeable leak of radioactive materials.

>only results are for some pilot who died in 1929

>A former nuclear power plant designer

So he's not even confirmed for being attached to either of the power plants?

They're doing everything they can. Public panic won't help anything.

Just get the fuck away from the plants.

>He accused the government of deliberately withholding vital information that would allow outside experts help solve the problems. "For example, there has not been enough information about the hydrogen being vented. We don't know how much was vented and how radioactive it was." He also described the use of sea water to cool the cores of the reactors at Fukushima-Daiichi as highly unusual and dangerous.
