WWII is over . I
have great respect for the Japanese ability to make consumer products I
must have, and for making me ROR at their cultural
idiosyncrasies. The good news about this blast is,
according to the text, the metal reactor container inside was not
damaged, and radiation levels around the plant had fallen after the
explosion.
From a selfish pov, however, this will pretty much stop any attempt on
our part to overcome the Three Mile Island cultural hysteria, and start
building nuclear power plants in the USofA. The antis will be
frothing at the mouth. So, no oil production+no nuke power =
third world nation.
Aside: I renew my request that
congress make clear that if San Francisco falls into the ocean,
congressmen whose congressional districts no longer exist will be
immediately removed.
