If anything comes out of the nuke's, it will easily become #1. Today show was saying that this could be very close to chernoble(SP). If that is the case, you gotta think that this will not only have an obvious immediate effect but that it could kill most of their exports for many years, if not a couple decades, to come. Who will buy grain, livestock, etc from a place that had so much radiation leakage?Long term mumped.I'm not certain you are 100% up to date on the grain and livestock exports of Japan.....

I think this is the second worst disaster in the history of Japan.
completely diff situ than chernoble
not looking so positive fellas

Rumblings of fuel rods being fully exposed and coolant can longer be injected. This would be bad.

This would be bad.Explain bad.Will you be helping with the Fukushima reactor?Bad would be loss of containment and a release of radiation.I am way not qualified to help. I can throw a physics book at the plant though.

The plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO), said fuel rods at the No. 2 reactor were fully exposed, which could lead to the rods melting down. The rods, normally surrounded by water, were partially exposed earlier after the engine-powered pump pouring in this water ran out of fuel.
Sixty-year-old Hiromitsu Shinkawa was found floating on the roof of his house ten miles from the coast of Japan, two days after the tsunami hit his town of Minami Soma.Incredibly, he was spotted by a maritime self-defence force destroyer taking part in the rescue effort as he clung to the wreckage with one hand and waved a self-made red flag with the other. He had been at sea for two days.Reports said that on being handed a drink aboard the rescue boat, Shinkawa gulped it down and immediately burst into tears. His wife, with whom he had returned home as the tsunami approached, is still missing.He was quoted as saying: “No helicopters or boats that came nearby noticed me. I thought that day was going to be the last day of my life.”Officials said Shinkawa was in good condition after being taken to hospital by helicopter.

it has a better containment system than Chernobyl although without running engines to keep the fuel cells underwater, the core will melt down to the bottom of the reactor vessel and the containment will eventually fail. this could all happen in a couple of days.
so after melt down then it blows up and carries radioactive crap into the atmosphere where it's carried over the countryside, exposing the land, plants, and animals to radiation.
