Radioactive water leaking at Onagawa nuclear plant, following aftershock
http://english.aljazeera.net/news/asia-pacific/2011/04/20114845654336692.html

A powerful earthquake in northeast Japan rocked a nuclear plant, causing a small amount of radioactive water to spill, but the operator said there was no immediate danger.

Thursday's 7.1-magnitude aftershock resulted in water flowing from containers onto the floor in all three reactor buildings at the Onagawa plant, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said on Friday.

This comes as three people were confirmed dead and about a hundred were injured following the quake.

Meanwhile authorities reported there was no new damage at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, about 100km away from Onagawa.

1. Please understand that no matter what happens...

...with regard to any nuclear power plant in Japan--that there is no immediate danger, no cause for
concern and that all is well--remain calm.

It doesn't matter if twenty five reactors melt down, or if every Japanese nuclear plant simply
implodes.

It's all goooood.

4. LOL!
And when the Northern Lights are actually your glowing neighbors--yes, please--nothing to worry about.

Just enjoy the glow!

6. It's just a teensy weensy bit of radiation, and it's way over there, and only
yellow people are affected, so it's really nothing to concern ourselves over.
