Something of a new record has been set, not no. 1, Chernobyl set that but still being number two is a discouraging fact.
The crisis at Fukushima is currently at a lull but there is a great deal of radioactive waste scattered by the explosions in the plant area and there is doubt whether the three main reactors can be properly sealed. So stay tuned, the crisis is like one of those English television series. They make three or six episodes and then see if there is interest in another. I think we are likely to see some new episodes in this saga.

The amount of radioactive cesium that has leaked from a tsunami-hit nuclear plant is about equal to 168 of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima at the end of World War II, Japan?s nuclear agency said Friday.
The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency supplied the estimate at a parliamentary panel?s request, but it noted a simple comparison between an instantaneous bomb blast and long-term accidental leak is impossible and the results could be ?irrelevant.?
The report estimated for each of the 16 isotopes released from ?Little Boy? and 31 of those detected at the Fukushima plant but didn?t provide the total. NISA has said the radiation leaked from Fukushima was about one-sixth of what the Chernobyl disaster released in 1986.
