Ref Japans nuke incident. I think some of the UK incidents have been worse to date. It looks as if they have the lid on the incident still (just). independent.co.uk The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), admitted last night that the tactics had so far failed to cut radiation levels, which were about 3,600 microseiverts per hour, nearly four times the exposure considered safe in a year. The Fukushima tsunami risk has been talked about for years, and was supposed to be well catered for. Perhaps the authorities failed to keep the countermeasures funded enough to be in place when needed. Human nature always finds a way to screw up. Otherwise I think Japan has handled the whole tsunami earthquake incident well. I doubt the UK will respond anywhere near as good when Katla blows, as it is due to. I expect that is going to be a real balls up when it happens, and no one is even remotely prepared for it. It's always much easier just to point at the other guy.
