| | Metal_Man88's Post | So, those 180 workers haven't died, a deadly plume of megasteam has not killed everyone in America, and Tokyo has not been destroyed by Chernobyl 2.

Last I heard, they've managed to regain control over at least two of the reactors and the storage pools, and have electrical power to all six reactors.

| | Metal_Man88's Post | Fukushima's toxic legacy: Ignorance and fear
A good report, related to the hysteria, the bad news, and the people who were idiotically spreading it.
A specific quote here, slamming that BS CB was throwing about earlier:
Originally posted by Fearmongering
Those at real risk now are the truly brave technicians inside the plant trying to cool it down: the Fukushima 50.
They will almost certainly receive fatal doses of radiation as they work around the clock.
Originally posted by The Register
No, they won't: nor even such doses as to measurably affect their health. Nobody else looks to be affected either. But the hysteria seems set to go on and on, even among relatively impartial and calm-minded observers – who remain rare. Asinine talk of an "apocalypse" and a "situation out of control" by the EU Energy Commissioner has drawn condemnation even from the French – who themselves have been guilty of inflating the seriousness of the Fukushima situation over recent days. (One can't help noticing that Japan is perhaps the main competition facing France in the export market for new reactors, potentially enormous in coming decades.)

Well it makes for such good drama...
