Fukushima Disaster: three years later, reactor still white hot and leaking radioactive water
Three years after the disaster, the ruptured core of the nuclear reactor is still giving off roughly one million watts worth of heat, according to Fairewinds Energy, a nuclear safety advocacy group based in Burlington, Vermont. Soils in the surrounding area, and may food crops grown in Japan, have been poisoned with nuclear contamination. And radioactive water continues to leak out from the crippled nuclear plant. Can you believe that supporters still sometime trumpet nuclear as “clean power?!”
