CNBC just posted a list of the most dangerous nuke plants in the US that could have have problems like Japan.
number 2 on the list was Plymouth Ma, they mentioned odds of 1 in 75000 chance on any given day of a meltdown. This is bad news because it means that this nuke plant will melt down about 4000 times BEFORE I win powerball!

"UPDATE: It is important to stress that 40 years’ worth of deadly spent fuel rods that would have been blown sky high by the blasts were stored in the roof of the facilities you see devastated in these images. "
If this is true this extremely serious. More than they are letting on..That's alot of radiation.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
My brother in law is retired Navy who now works as a civilian contractor for the Navy in Yokosuka. His descriptions of the quake and the aftermath are chilling.
We've been getting daily emails on the situation. US personel @ the base have been told to stay indoors, seal openings, etc. since they have detected lower radiation levels @ the base. Everyone is hunkered down "waiting".
The carrier Regan is serving as a main base of operations for air assistance while many smaller ships are assisting in the grim task of recovery of bodies swept offshore. Because of elevated radiation levels ships are deploying out of the path of the prevailing winds.
For those critical of "our" government response be assured that all available means of assistance are currently being provided and efforts are being ramped up as quickly as is logistically possible. Nobody is asleep at the switch on this.
"what truly magnificent people, no rioting, no chaos, no political blame game"
He ended his last email on this note and emphasized the point by telling my wife "the people of Japan" are the reason he chose to live in Japan.

Nightly News is now using the term "apocalyptic" catastrophe in the making....there are 50 heroes consigned to sacrificing their own lives to try and save the (4) plants.
Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
Just read that they used Plutonium as part of the fuel when reactor 3 was built.
That's the first really dumb thing I have heard coming out of there. All the rest is a reaction to a rare huge natural catastrophy. The concious choice years ago to use Plutonium as part of the fuel mix is liable to be one of the worst science/engineering decisions of modern times.
Time to say some prayers for some badly needed good luck.
I saw that they were using helicopters to dump water on the plants. Getting it from the ocean, that is mighty close. I couldnt help but think that it would be a good idea to use some pumps and hoses. Keeping a steady supply of water going if needed.
I got to wonder the effects this is going to have on the world economy.
Haven't bought a sheet of plywood or any other lumber as one example in a long time.
I would guess lots of those types of things are going to see a big spike in price here.
Another example, getting Toyota & Subaru parts may be a problem.
Saw that one on the news last night, more than can be said about some people. No I am not referring to the Japanese, people around the world should be looking at the proud way in which that island's people are conducting themselves in light of the tragedy all around them.

A vivid glimps at what is probably happening to people all over the area not just pets.
Dogs are great. You got to love them. Smart enough to know help and protection is needed and willing to stay there with its disabled buddy despite its obvious need for potable water (notice it looking at the big water area and the little puddles etc as it approached the reporters and then returned to stand guard. Probably nothing but dirty and salt water everywhere.) Glad to hear they got rescued.
