What a retarded, fear mongering headline. Nothing even happened! A tiny amount of water has sloshed over the edge of two fuel cooling pools INSIDE the containment area. During a freaking earthquake. I'm pretty sure that is entirely expected and within operating parameters for a plant like this.
Now I'm not really a big fan of nuclear power in general, but this is dumb...
The fossil fuel industry will jump on these events like crazy.
No. No they don't. Oil and gas was supporting and were going to cornerstone the construction of a nuclear plant in our area some fifteen years earlier and environmental groups along with public outcry got it shut down.
