Of course. A moment of reflection might have revealed that, but sadly, you were quicker.
Sigh.....its like Keystone Capers over there. I can't begin to quantify the failure.

Nuclear power is perfectly safe ... until you let human beings get involved.
Or mother nature.

There aren't enough facepalms to go around IMO.
Japan Government Concealed Evidence of Radiation Fallout
http://www.casavaria.com/cafesentido...ation-fallout/
Given no guidance from Tokyo, town officials led the residents north, believing that winter winds would be blowing south and carrying away any radioactive emissions. For three nights, while hydrogen explosions at four of the reactors spewed radiation into the air, they stayed in a district called Tsushima where the children played outside and some parents used water from a mountain stream to prepare rice.
The winds, in fact, had been blowing directly toward Tsushima — and town officials would learn two months later that a government computer system designed to predict the spread of radioactive releases had been showing just that.
But the forecasts were left unpublicized by bureaucrats in Tokyo, operating in a culture that sought to avoid responsibility and, above all, criticism. Japan’s political leaders at first did not know about the system and later played down the data, apparently fearful of having to significantly enlarge the evacuation zone — and acknowledge the accident’s severity.
Japan rice worries a blow to collective psyche

News that local governments around Japan will test rice for radioactive caesium came as a blow that rocked the nation's collective psyche, threatening to make its beloved traditional staple the latest in a long list of forbidden foods.
Japan's radiation scare to hit beef output
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/...7724KQ20110803
Japan's widening ban on cattle shipments after the discovery of radiation-contaminated feed will reduce domestic beef output in the short term, but it remains unclear to what degree suppliers such as Australia and the United States could benefit.
Hey Agloco how do you prefer your burger?
Medium. I'll take a tall glass of milk with that too.

http://www.npr.org/2011/04/12/135353...s-level-7-meanThough Fukushima and Chernobyl are both level 7 nuclear accidents, the health consequences in Japan to date are much less severe. In part, that's because far more radiation was released at Chernobyl. So far, Fukushima Dai-ichi has released about one-tenth of the amount of radioactive material that escaped Chernobyl, according to an official from the International Atomic Energy Agency.
At Chernobyl, an entire reactor exploded, sending up a massive fire and radioactive plume that dispersed radiation over a wide area. The reactor at the Soviet plant was not surrounded by any containment structure, so radiation escaped freely.
From two weeks ago but:

The good news is that researchers found the entire region 20 to 400 miles offshore had radiation levels too low to be an immediate threat to humans.
But there was also an unpleasant surprise. “Rather than leveling off toward zero, it remained elevated in late July,’’ he said, up to about 10,000 becquerel per cubic meter. ‘‘That suggests the release problem has not been solved yet.”
Levels are stabilizing at 10k Becs. They should approach zero as dispersion occurs. Troubling.

I suppose it's a good thing those tickets are for an event which took place three years ago in China.Here Agloco for you and three guests.
During court proceedings concerning a radioactive golf course, Tokyo Electric Power Co. stunned lawyers by saying the utility was not responsible for decontamination because it no longer "owned" the radioactive substances.
“Radioactive materials (such as cesium) that scattered and fell from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant belong to individual landowners there, not TEPCO,” the utility said.

I'm not familiar with the finer points of Japanese nuclear regulation, but this reeks of legal sleight of hand. As far as the NRC is concerned, any licensed facility charged with the use of or production of nuclear material is also on the hook for any cleanup which might be necessary as a result of that use.
TEPCO continues to show its true colors. Quite sickening.
Hence the sarcasm.....try and keep up brah.... I won't be able to hold your hand though every debate we meet in anymore cause I like you. It's not ethical..
Litotes?
Given the context, most definitely.
http://news.yahoo.com/water-leaks-cr...HRlc3QD;_ylv=3
A pool of radioactive water was discovered midday Sunday around a decontamination device, TEPCO said in a statement on its website. After the equipment was turned off, the leak appeared to stop. Later, workers found a crack in a concrete barrier leaking the contaminated water into a gutter that leads to the ocean.
TEPCO estimated about 300 liters leaked out before the crack was blocked with sandbags.
Officials were checking whether any water had reached the nearby ocean.
The leakage of radioactive water from the Fukushima plant into the Pacific Ocean in the weeks after the March 11 accident caused widespread concern that seafood in the coastal waters would be contaminated.
The pooled water around the purification device was measured Sunday at 16,000 bequerels per liter of cesium-134, and 29,000 bequerels per liter of cesium-137, TEPCO said. That's 270 times and 322 times higher, respectively, than government safety limits, according to the Citizens' Nuclear Information Center in Tokyo.
Wow.
"Sorry about that greasy dump I took on your front porch, it is now your property, so you have to clean it up".
What a novel theory. Perhaps the people near the plant can try that legal theory on the lawyers' or TEPCO executives' front steps.
