Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the is-that-just-the-regular-ominious-music? dept.

Lasrick writes "Tuesday, March 11 is the 3rd anniversary of the Fukushima disaster. In this article, a worker at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station gives his eyewitness account of what happened there in the immediate wake of a massive earthquake and tsunami that caused three of the station's reactor cores to melt." The witness, says the story, "was promised anonymity as a condition of providing his account."

    Almost 20,000 people died because they lived close to the ocean.

    A few dozen people might wind up with cancer someday because Japan uses nuclear power.

    The obvious conclusion? Nuclear power is bad and should be eliminated immediately.
