This island got very seriously nuked and nuclear waste was dumped all around it, but people still live there. Fears of Japan demise may be overblown -g- I am not saying this is not bad. "Over its history as a nuclear test site, Novaya Zemlya hosted 224 nuclear detonations with a total explosive energy equivalent to 265 megatons of TNT." en.wikipedia.org This one blew up there... 50 MT-g- Granted, thermonuclear bombs are not too dirty. Right now the WORKERs at the Fukushima nuclear plant are allowed big dosages that increase their chance of cancer 1%. These are "unprecedented numbers" by nuclear safety standards. Geez! They are heros. Well, they sure are, coz if it melts, they will get a much higher lethal dosage.
