Fukushima Hell Part 14

NYT has the best map of the Fukushima evacuation zones available. Double click it for a larger view. Japan has been hurt badly and will suffer from the earthquake/tsunami/reactor complex destruction for a decade or more. More than 2 million people (2% of national population) will be displaced, half the population affected and maybe 5% of the japanese landmass made uninhabitable for some period of time

There may be a reactor breach at unit 3. All work has stopped at the complex as TEPCO tries to understand where the radioactivity is coming from. Meanwhile the evacuations and warnings grow more dire. As radiation spreads, Japan's economy begins shutting down as food can't be exported, manufactured goods become contaminated and people avoid Japan like a leper.


Nuke Fukushima and deal with the result.
