2. Finally admitted to be.
Which means they need a level-8 designation.

5. And how many DUers were telling us, just a few weeks ago . . .

9. Yes! A couple of people who were practically prescient...
...were severely attacked for suggesting that radioactive materials might get
into the milk. One person in particular was lambasted and piled on.

And look where where we are now. Cesium and iodine-129 in the milk, in several
cities in the United States.

8. Good posts on TheOilDrum..
on Fukushima... but difficult to read..

because of the seriousness of the disaster and the quality of the technical information.
