what are the effects of a radioactive leak? except toxicity

Radiation levels 8x's normal levels *AT THE MAIN GATE* of the nuclear plant.

Radiation may have already been released, according to kyoto newswire.

UK news state they have... and that's before the statement about the possible leak!

 

[Bjerknes]

Ahhh fuck, evac perimeter is now 10 kilometers around the plant.

If they have 8x the radiation at the gate, just imagine the reading at the site of the leak.

They seem to be fucked.

The plant is now said to be over 1000 times the normal radiation limit!

Four passenger trains have gone missing in Japan!

Some expert on CNN said 1,000 times normal isn't crazy bad and he's not alarmed. It's part of the controlled release, apparently. They are venting the reactor to decrease pressure levels, which makes sense because higher pressure means higher temperature (Ideal gas law). He said that if the radiation levels rise another 1000 percent then he'd be alarmed. :wth:

WTF.

Ouch, so here it comes.

I don't think they can stop it (around the water?), so I wouldn't be surprised it reaches 1000

he's an expert, trust him andy

"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.

Looks really bad, at least Japan is in better shape than most countries at bouncing back from it. Over 1000 dead, hope it doesn't get any worse.

I don't know if the levels are that high in Japan but I think this is what people are worried could happen:

Yeah, it's far better than CNN that I was watching. No commercials and it's straight from there.
