What Is Japan going to do now?

Question:


7.5 Earth quake with a Nuclear Power plant already in turmoil. The country isn't that big. and just to add insult to injury another tsunami! What is to become of them if the entire country is Contaminated?

Answer:


I think you can take your tinfoil hat off. The new earthquake is only 7.1. The one that caused the problem was 9.0. That's about 100 times worse. This one won't do anything more than cause some inconvenience.

-What is to become of them if the entire country is Contaminated?

That really can't happen. The reactor design will keep the fuel inside (unlike Chernobyl).

Here is an informative article describing the situation:
