In my teens and 20s I was anti-nuclear power.  In my 30s I was pro, to help curb carbon levels and reduce dependence on foreign oil.  Now I'm convinced the risks aren't worth it.  Silly hairless monkeys - we're not ready.

The contaminated water that leaked on Wednesday contains an unprecedented 80 million Becquerels of radiation per liter, according to the company. The norm is a mere 150 Bq.

 

"Judging from the amount and the density of the radiation in the contaminated water that leaked ... a Level 3 assessment is appropriate," said the document used during Wednesday’s weekly meeting of the NRA.

 

Yikes. It's getting worse quickly.

Well, thank goodness nothing like this could happen in the U.S. where we're smart, have better designs and a really cool God on our side...

That's in New Jersey....how can they separate what is from the power plant, and what is from Snookie?

And we're gonna need Ultraman...

I hate this thread. What a shitty thing that we and our parents are leaving to our children. A bunch of incompetent monkeys, we are.

 

Agreed. How much money is about to be spent in Syria instead of finding a solution to this mess?

Well to be fair, Syria will probably be "solved" with some of the huge caches of missiles we have stockpiled... Pick some targets and shoot, easy

Developing a new plan for cleaning up radioactive seawater... that might be kinda tricky.
