Radiation is like bacteria in the public mindset. Everyone associates it as something evil you should always try to eradicate, clueless of what basic function it serves in life.

Which isn't to say a major radiation leak is good. But there's a difference between a mild sunburn and basically being cooked alive.

I will go search for some food, nothing special.

A city called Kesennumma is on fire...

Look at the video:

Shit is getting real, the radiations is terrible news.

"Radiation could already have leaked at nuke plant"

I wish people had half a clue as to what radiation is and how life on earth would not exist without it.

No doubt, radiation from the sun makes the world go round.

If we told sunbathers that they are exposing themselves to radiation, I don't even think they'd make the connection.

Well, it's mostly threatening to life forms. If the leak is bad enough the radiation could go for hundreds of kilometers, or even get caught up in the Jet Stream and travel for thousands of miles. That's unlikely in this case, but possible if severe enough.

Of course not, because they're dumb blonde bitches.

All your radiation are belong to us, bitchez.

Isn't radiation that thing that turns people into mutants?

But the strength of radiation is at the mercy of distance squared, so the impact fades immensely quickly with distance from the source. Then put it in the jet stream, and you're dissipating it over half the globe. At worst, I see no reason to be concerned unless you live in the immediate vicinity (within 30km).

No, you're thinking of Moratti.

If we become mutants, I wanna be the guy with laser vision.

A second nuclear plant's cooling system is failing! Apparently, this is what happened at the plant with the suspected radiation leak.

That's true, it wouldn't destroy the entire world, or anything.

Ohh me too!

The "oh fuck"-o-meter is rising.

via NBC Nightly News: Tokyo Electric Power Co. is reporting that they have lost control of the pressure in their No. 1 & 2 nuclear reactors with temps rising
