The worst case scenario is near.

Yep. It's a safe form of energy alright. When contained in a vacuum. Still, I must admire how the Japanese have been handling this disaster.

can this escalate into something horrible like radiation affecting the people who live there? I am asking because my wife's niece lives 3 miles away from there in Fukishima near those plants.

All I know from a Finnish source citing various other newssources is that 50 000 to 100 000 people have already been evacuated from the region.

And apparently there have been radiation 8 times greater than normal outside the reactor.

It's been confirmed that there has been an explosion in one of the containment buildings, and there are radiation leaks. NYTimes.com.

I remember Ichi applying for a job at Red Cross or Fema after Katrina - yes he is back in the States.

Lano - I believe moved back to the UK, after teaching English in Japan ? ? I could be wrong.
