Associated Press has released this information: Japan suspended operations to keep its stricken nuclear plant from melting down Wednesday after surging radiation made it too dangerous to stay.
On SF Gate, a U.S. nuclear expert, David Lochbaum, said he feared the worst, commenting, It's more of a surrender. It's not like you wait 10 days and the radiation goes away. In that 10 days things are going to get worse. It's basically a sign that there's nothing left to do but throw in the towel.
140,000 people in the area have been ordered to stay indoors. Tokyo, which is 150 miles away, is beginning to detect radiation. People there are beginning to buy food and water in a premature panic.
This feels is very ominous and extremely scary to me. Some of the rods are suspected to have partially melted, there has been another fire, and they have not been successful at lowering the water temperature to stop the progress of damage.
What exactly does this mean???? Apparently there are a lot of people from many countries working very hard to come up with a solution, but in the meantime, the fears are that there's been a breach and a lot more radiation is leaking out.
I'm worried for Japan and I'm worried for the environment.
