Brit Hume is basically saying we should calm down.
It hasn't happened, and still probably will not happen.
I hope he is right.

Take a gandor over to DRUDGE.............been following the DRUDGE Report for years.......never seen this many stories on one topic ever.
IDK......is this alot of media hype or is this perhaps the makings of the greatest disaster in the history of mankind??? Who can tell in this day and age?
By the way...........anybody seen Old Rocks? Only he could be bored by this stuff.......wants to get back to debating temperatures!!!
Who isnt convinced this guy had a giant tree fall on his head in the woods??
Anybody know worst case scenario with this.........in terms of spread and effects???
I think it is also important to remember that the media will always reach for the worst situation and make uninformed statements at the same time.
The Japanese governments last statement was that the situation is "not stable"..which doesn't mean a giant radioactive plume will engulf the whole island.
If the outer containment is compromised, OK that is bad, and could be a major problem for years to come...but as I am learning about this...it seems even that will not be a real "holocaust" type of fallout.
A GIANT problem, devastating to the whole area as it just lost it's source of power, and a facility that will be uninhabitable for generations...but if I hear right hear...very, very small chance of a Chernobyl level disaster.

I had live feed on from Japanese news and they were saying that the inner containment vessel is breached and leaking. But they don't know if it is leaking liquid or gas. It all depends on where the leak is. If it is leaking liquid then there is no way to cool the fuel. Game over.
They had diagrams provided by the officials and were reporting that radiation had spiked to over 9000microseiverts. I also read that pressure within one of the containments is falling on it's own, no idea what containment that is.
The worst case scenario seems to be widespread contamination of heavier elements with longer half lives than iodine. On an island the size of Japan, one nuclear bomb wide, with 120 million people, well they would be in a world of hurt.
I guess the way to know is to find out is to research how long Three Mile Island took to melt down? Or better yet..........Chernobyl.

Scanned Churnobyl on Wikki...........the whole meltdown took less than 24 hours. Perhaps the design was way different?
