Stories concerning a home nation will nigh on always take a higher presidence then the country of the problem. Our main stories are about the clean up, the nuclear plant and foreigners leaving Japan. Nothing really about the people other then the evacuation from the area. Which is a sad thing.

Not sure I've heard anyone here mention fears over radition reaching Europe though. That's a bit far fetched.

I think they're worried because last time a meltdown has happened on a grand scale(Chernobyl) it has irridiated half of Europe, and even to the present day parts Eastern coast of England cannot be used for farming. Not that I condone their selfish actions, panic is understandable when there is a chance of fallout that could cause both the pollution in the atmosphere and possible contamination of US/Asia. What I don't see is why the hell Europe is pissing itself.

Can't farm in Eastern England becuase of Chernobyl fallout? Where did you hear that? That seems a bit far fetched as well. 

I haven't heard of inability to farm, but I heard only last year of some sheep in Dorset being considered 'unfit for human consumption' due to the contamination from Chernobyl.
