Based on what Edano and NISA have said... there shouldn't be any workers remaining now at entire Fukushima-1 plant. |

Makes me nervous, being here on the west coast. I am already making contingency plans to leave if I have to. Little nerve racking right now.

This study was done in the 1980s, not the 1950's.

"no one" meaning "more than a couple hapless people who died of thyroid cancer or leukemia after 15 more years."
obviously

The incompetent water pollution from the government was done in the 50's. At least according to my quick research, I remembered seeing that it peaked in 1954 or something like that. I presumed that the study focused on people.
Either way, it remains that we've learned a thing or two since the 50's and the 80's, and the fatality scoreboard is still a few thousand for nuclear and a hell of a lot more for coal.

And concrete or not, if those reactors melt down, they will LITERALLY melt through anything in the way - steel, concrete, kryptonite. That is the real hazard. |

This is a great link to watch the press conferences and shit. There are 3 screens and one Japanese doing translating everything.

Could someone superimpose this to scale over a map of Japan? |

It will never stop being hilarious to me that we demand absolute zero-death perfection but we blithely shrug our shoulders when tens or hundreds of thousands die due to coal power.
It all comes back to our caveman brain. We can understand rocks burning and we can accept the harm of dirty air, but nuclear power is frightening voodoo magic.
