So now I guess the workers are back at the reactors after the evacuation was lifted.
Wtf is actually going on here. Seems like no one can get their story straight.

Damn right. I find it weird that every person who has been alive in the past was on the "cutting edge" of history but we can look back from our vantage point and see that they weren't. Dunno, if I wored that well. Having trouble typing due to diphenhydramine lol.
As you say, we're very privilaged.
@dynomite; I agree. I think this "super-moon" shit has a lot to do with it. March 19th the day California falls in the ocean?

falls in the ocean?
like were floating or something?
i dont think california can just "fall in the ocean". shir might get fucked up, and we will eventually break off and move north west, but fall in the ocean?

So what happens if all the reactors completely melt down? Seems they are the point where its too dangerous to send humans to tend the remaining reactors. I heard that after 5 hours of exposure @ the reactor its enough to kill a human ....
If all of the reactors melt down, would this be the end of most of japan? Would it effect surrounding country's?
this shit is trippy. im ripped ...

Yeah, no doubt we are in interesting times. But i have a family and loved ones that i really want to spend time with, for years more. I feel like i'm not ready to die and havent seen enough. or lived enough.

Chernobyl melted down and Ukraine still exists 
But it did effect the rates of birth defects and other medical conditions in the surrounding countries for years to come.

U.S. Supplies of potassium iodide pills are taking a huge hit as people flock to the stores in search of protection from possible nuclear fallout. A number of stores across the west coast are reporting that they are completely sold out. And a pharmacist at a Walgreen’s in California told us that they would not be getting anymore because the government has seized all supplies. Fleming Pharmaceuticals, maker of ThyroShield a potassium iodide used in nuclear emergencies, said in a press release today that before the Japanese Quake the federal government already has stockpiled millions of doses. The company claims that some of the federal stockpile has expired and the remaining supply is set to expire over the year. White House chief spokesman Jay Carney continued to tell the press that the U.S. is not in danger, but wouldn’t comment on the governments stockpiling program. Potassium iodide, which is sometimes are sold as anti-radiation pills can protect your thyroid from radiation by blocking the absorption of radioiodine. Potassium iodide does not protect from all side effects of radiation poisoning and can have a number of side effects. It should only be taken in prescription doses if the radiation reaches the coast at dangerous levels.

maybe i shouldve had different wording. They are not letting anyone restock on potassium iodine.

Japan faces "apocalyptic" disaster as radiation spills from stricken nuclear plant
by Martin Fricker, Daily Mirror 16/03/2011 JAPAN was last night on the brink of an “apocalyptic” disaster as radiation spewed out from the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant, experts warned. A deadly atomic cloud is poised to spread death and misery across the country and engineers are locked in a desperate battle to prevent a meltdown of fuel rods at the quake-hit reactors. Millions of Tokyo residents were living in fear that, with a wind change, the radiation could descend on the city. As the danger rating at the plant was upgraded from five to six out of seven, Europe’s energy Commissioner Guenther Oettinger said: “There is talk of an apocalypse and I think the word is particularly well chosen. “Practically everything is out of control. I cannot exclude the worst in the hours and days to come.” Japan’s Prime Minister Naoto Kan admitted perilous levels of radiation were leaking from the power station. At one point it soared to 400 times the annual legal limit. Mr Kan said on TV: “Radiation has spread from the reactors and the reading seems high. There is a very high risk of further radioactive material coming out. “We would like to ask you to remain indoors, at home or in your offices and avoid going outside.” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano added: “Now we are talking about levels that can damage human health. There is no mistake about that.” He also said a fourth reactor was on fire at the plant that has been hit by three blasts in four days. One reactor was no longer sealed, sparking fears of further leaks. Two workers were reported missing. US experts fear the danger level will be upgraded to seven. That has only been used once before, at Chernobyl in 1986. Nuclear expert John Harris said: “It seems to be getting more serious as days go by.
“The fact we have now had three hydrogen explosions tells me almost certainly that the reactor cores must be quite badly damaged. “It could have distorted to the point of meltdown, where some of the core drips into the bottom of the reactor. That is serious.” Russia’s nuclear chief said all six reactors could melt unless the rods are cooled soon. Japanese authorities were last night planning to spray water from helicopters into an overheating nuclear fuel storage pool. In Tokyo, parts of the city were eerily quiet as fear gripped residents. The few people who did venture out admitted the nuclear threat terrified them more than after-shocks. But there was no sense of panic and the expected mass exodus of Tokyo failed to materialise. Radiation levels reached 20 times the usual level. There was some relief when winds expected to blow any radioactive cloud towards the capital did not materialise. But UN weather experts said they were keeping a close eye on changing patterns. More than 140,000 people living within 19 miles of Fukushima were warned to stay indoors. A no-fly zone was in place for a 20-mile radius over the plant. Bosses have evacuated 750 staff – leaving just 70 brave workers to tackle the crisis. The International Atomic Energy Agency insisted radiation levels were falling. But local media claimed they rose too high for Tokyo Electric Power Company staff to stay in control rooms. The workers, all wearing protective gear, were rotated in and out of the danger zone quickly to reduce exposure. Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said the third explosion may have damaged the reactor’s suppression chamber. Residents living in Soma – 35 miles away and outside the exclusion zone – said they were terrified. And some believe the government is not being honest about the extent of the danger. Innkeeper Toshiaki Kiuchi, 63, said: “I don’t think they are telling us the truth. Maybe even they don’t know.” Shinako Tachiya, 70, added: “We are really afraid. You can’t see fallout so we are totally relying on them for our lives. “I think they are not being open with us. They aren’t telling us anything.” US authorities said low-level radioactivity was detected at the Yokosuka military base, 200 miles away. The Foreign Office advised against all non-essential travel to Japan but said there were no plans to evacuate Brits. More than 500 bone marrow transplant centres across Europe were on standby to treat possible radiation victims.
