More sensationalist rubbish. There probably is tainting of water and the such in the immediate vicinity, but the bulk of radioactive material from uranium has a very short half-life. If the situation remains under control and they get the cooling system back online, the long term damage will be insignificant. The produce grown in the immediate area may be unsafe, but it will only be for a very short time.

People have been living in Prypiat in the Ukraine for well over a decade and have not recorded any serious radiation related illnesses and Chernobyl bellowed huge amounts of radioactive material across a large part of Europe in which Japan pales in comparison. Small mutations were found in insects and local wildlife but that would have been due to exposure to large amounts of radioactive material, mostly made up of short-life isotopes.

I think what would scare me about this that once this announcement was made that bottled water sold out within 4 hours one news service said this morning The government was urging people not to panic What do they expect people to do !!! I would panic
