Update from Nuclear Disaster in Japan

[CSORuger]

Picked up a few facts that I have not seen in the press the last few days.

Radiation in some areas of the plant are "so high" it is damaging monitoring equipment or messing with the actual readings.

The reason they are pumping nitrogen in several of the reactors is that they are in various stages of melt down and this is the only way to keep them from blowing up again. The only comment in the press was the nitrogen was to prevent an explosion, they omitted the melt down comments.

Some of the cameras on the robots have been fried from high radiation levels.

For several days, highly radioactive water was pouring directly into the ocean.

20,000 hazards to navigation have been identified in the pacific ocean. They are expecting debris to be washing up on the west coast later this summer. This could range from cars, parts of homes to body parts. This could last for more that two years.

But we stopped our own testing of imports almost a decade ago.

The article provides no proof the food consumed or purchased came from the contaminated area and it also will provide no proof the food he gives to his family originated in the contaminated area.

Know this is a necro thread, but I’d like to know how he got the raw seafood and fruit through customs? I know HS/CBP took away my wife’s vanilla beans and crab cakes from the Virgin Isles on our last trip.
