Thank you for the link. That was very informative.
After reading about Japan's 6-9 month plan to secure the reactor yesterday, i am starting to realize that it is a scarey situation and very damaging to our world.
The only thing that comforts me is that the Fukishima reactors break down was caused by a natural disaster versus Chernobyl's being caused by human error and expirmentation.
