Fukushima outcry is bullshit, news media terrible, Foreign Affairs only reliable by newsrag - fucking newbie 10/03/2013, 4:57am PDT
I dunno how long the power plant bit's been public knowledge, but the media reporting that most of the media is shit and Foreign Affairs isn't makes me wonder what you lot think about Foreign Affairs as reading material.

'Contrast that with what happened a couple of weeks later, when an article in the scholarly magazine Foreign Affairs revealed the basic facts about the U.S. government’s worst-case scenario. Titled "Inside the White House During Fukushima," the article was written by Jeffrey Bader, who had chaired a number of the interagency meetings in his capacity as the National Security Council's senior director for East Asian affairs. Suggesting that the anxieties about a Tokyo evacuation had been vastly overblown, the article succinctly summarized the U.S. government’s findings: “There was no plausible scenario in which Tokyo, Yokosuka, or Yokota could be subject to dangerous levels of airborne radiation.”'

There's more about how it was barely a thing. I like my physicist buddy's way of describing it, but that shit can wait for someone to ask if they give a damn.
