This article doesnt really reveal anything new at all. The MIT guy that originally sent a email to friends and family in Japan basically said that the worst case scenario isnt likely to happen, and if it does its really not that bad anyways. I think most people expect this whole crisis to take some time; a small ass piece of nuclear fuel can light a whole city, so im sure it doesnt just turn off all that easy.
Unfortunately the media over sensationalizes things, especially things that can become political. Nuclear energy is debated because the potential consequences of what can happen when handled irresponsible IS devastating. Its also true that any ole guy can put something on the www and it goes viral with people taking it as face value without any real proof. Im not pro-nuclear or anti-nuclear, ive never really thought about it in depth, but like everyone else im REALLY hoping this guy knows as much as he thinks he does........
