Nov 2013

the result would be more than 10X Chernobyls.

Absolutely unprecedented.

All nations in the northern hemisphere of the world would have
to keep people indoors for a period of months.

This is really the #1 news item in the world right now.

If you believe in God, pray for success removing the rods.

If you are an atheist, send out "positive rays", or something good in your thoughts.

This is a world-wide issue.

This is really the #1 news item in the world right now, ironically un-reported for now.

But...
If another accident happens at Fukushima, it could end up being the biggest
news story and disaster of the century so far, easy.
