1. Why would you put people in danger if you're not sure whether the situation can be taken under control or not? 20-30km evacuation zone? It's not even funny, says a physicist ! The zone should be 50km at minimum and 80km recommended. Better to get out of harms way rather than regret it later.
Here some proof:

Before you guys begin to dismiss this report again, THEY ARE THE ONES who are not interested in telling lies.
The officials in Japan: link
You should buy your water in supermarkets as well: link
These are all facts, nothing hysterical.
2.Radiation is accumulated over time.In other words you can only get more contamination over time and it won't disappear. The chances that you could get cancer or other health issues related to radiation will get only higher.Specially, kids and women are endagered the most because they weigh a lot less thus would automatically have higher concentration of toxic stuff compared to adult men.
Here, you can see the possibilities for yourself: link
3. It sounds like mere speculation at the moment but contaminated people or those with health issues due to radiation will be regarded as social burden over time. They will overstain the health system on the one hand and will be regarded as worst possible candidates to take on a job on the other.
4. In essense, Japan is no different from other countries if you analize its economy. Tepco built an instable nuclear plant that couldn't meet the safety requirements in a very dangerous place.

How is it possible? Easy, the managers want more rendits as their first priority, the safety comes in the second or last place. Also they didn't modify the plant because......too expensive. These guys have their men in the government who back them up and let them do as they wish.Even right now, in that critical situation the company tries to take as little blame as possible, you just have to read their statements. The most ridiculious part is that according to japanese law japanese people have to pay for all damages and follow-ups of the tragedy.
Yeah, money makes the world go around and under in Japan, Europe or elsewhere, I see no differences there. Cultural differences? It doesn't matter now, all that matters is the safety of the people there.
In conclusion, leave the area immediatly if you've got means to do it. |
I don't think any of us are doubting that people should evacuate. the original debate was over the OP's suggestion of 1000 KM... and subsequently 500KM. That is not even possible. 1000 KM radius will mean to completely desert Honshu..... so all that we are asking is WHY 500KM and 1000KM... and so far, the OP cannot come up with scientific explanation of why, except that he/she felt that thats the safety zone.
Your recommendation of 80 KM is reasonable and I do agree to that, right now is a matter of getting people to leave. If you read the latest news, people are returning home instead of leaving. Thats not something that the government can really control, unless they dictate that and impose some sort of military curfew.... what will people say then if they did that?
The thread later on turn in who is right and who is wrong, and people calling each other names. And so far, the OP couldn't present any trust worthy sources of his/her information.
EDIT: Correction, the original OP was suggesting 500-1000 MILES. Thats about 800-1600 KM. FYI, Straight line from Sendai to Fukuoka is just about 500KM. I think we need to desert more than just Honshu if there is any scientific fact supporting a 500-1000 MILES evacuation zone...
