exodus of Tokyo
This is not quite helpful as it is 'news', not actual information. Yet, this is the precise reason I am having difficulty finding real information as opposed to news reports since everything I click on is either about the reaction to the situation or so scientific as to be useless to me since I can't understand it. I would like to find something written in reasonably plain English from a person of science rather than one of the media which has a tendency to flavor everything with as much sensationalism and emotion as possible as opposed to an objective and detached assessment of what the real situation would be. For example a comparison to dropping a nuclear warhead on that spot - from what I could glean, there is some difference in the nature of the result, but I have no idea what that means.
Ideally, I'd like a scale diagram of Japan and an overlay of the point of impact of the bombs that were dropped and the radius of associated damaging effect and the same thing done showing the plant and what those effects would be. I don't care what people are actually doing or what they fear or what they say or whether the situation is actually under control or not - I just wanna know what if the reactors all go to hell, exactly what are we talking about in terms of acute radiation exposure and "minimum safe distance" (as much as that may not really exist for all practical purposes)
It depends on the wind at the time if it is a serious meltdown IE : Chernobyl which I think at this point isn't really possible because the explosion would have to be pretty large to get the paricles high enough in the atmosphere
This is more what I am looking for, thanks.
