will see a complete and safe end to this tragedy. The biggest mistake man has ever done is the use of splitting atoms for boiling water. Stupid, stupid, stupid. If the technology was only coming in today we'd not allow it until it was shown that the people who advocate for its use demonstrated the safe disposal of the waste and how to stop a run-a-way nuclear power plant.
I suspect a large section of Japan will become uninhabitable by humans in the near future due to this.
