Third Blast At Japan's Fukushima Nuclear Plant

iamrmani was one of several people reporting updates on the Fukushima Nuclear plant that has been struggling following last Friday's disaster. A third explosion (Japanese) has been reported, along with other earlier information. MSNBC has a story about similiar reactors in the US. We also ran into a story which predicts that there won't be significant radiation. But already Japan is facing rolling blackouts, electricity rationing, evacuating the area around the plant, and thousands dead already.

Quite. Three lowsy hydrogen explosions, merely 2 of 6 reactors in partial meltdown at only 2 plants, hardly 200 irradiated and barely 200,000 evacuated... this is all bullshit, is it not? Slashdot has really turned into the Weekly World News of nerdy fear-mongering sensationalism. Thank God for the pro-nuke commenters that are setting the record straight. Nothing to see here.
