good reading from theregister following their previous sensible take on the "disaster"

I read their last report, and found it interesting, but it just seemed so far away from the continued reporting that I assumed it was flawed and written by E-ON or someone...

I hope Nuclear power doesnt get too much a kicking over this, cos it is the only viable alternative to fossil fuel around at the moment.

I guess there are so many people with vested interests that it is very hard for the average joe to know what is right.

I agree some sensible/reasonable and balance info instead of a load of hype to make us all watch their channel/station etc.

I also notice this on there which had gone out on Japanese TV.

Awesome vid!!

As for the article, it's OK but imho this Lewis Page guy is way too close to the other end of the spectrum. That first article that was posted here was, er, a little premature to say the least - proclaiming the disaster a 'triumph for nuke power' whilst things were still unfolding, getting worse, and almost going a little pear shaped. Then he writes cobblers like this: "The lesson to learn here is that if your country is hit by a monster earthquake and tsunami, one of the safest places to be is at the local nuclear powerplant." Er, right mate!

The best source of news I found - facts without the spin - was here:
