This is a sad story http://nypost.com/2013/12/22/70-navy-sailors-left-sickened-by-radiation-after-japan-rescue/

Fukushima's meltdown was much worse than Chernobyl. It is ranked the same because INES doesn't go higher than a 7, calling it a Major Accident. Simply looking at the location of the plant should have you a lot more worried. Look at your own picture. Now imagine that plant was connected to the sea and instead of 1 reactor meltdown, there are 3.

It really doesn't matter if you live in Japan or elsewhere, this is a major global issue severely downplayed, everyone will be affected, no one will care until it's too late.

Reading this articles was painful. For two reasons:

1.) What happened to the personnel of the Aircraft Carrier.

2.) The murder of terminology. "Tokyo Electric Power also knew that radioactivity was leaking at a rate of 400 tons a day into the North Pacific, according to the lawsuit and Japanese officials."

The fuck is something like this supposed to mean?  Radioactivity is a substance property. It can't just leak. I guess they wanted to express that water contaminated with radioactive substances was leaking with a rate of 400 tons/day, but as someone studying Radiation protection this really hurt to read :(
