Japan after Fukushima

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Actually, there isn't any after Fukushima. Many months after the nuclear disaster, the nightmare continues, as it will for decades to come:

Japan's science ministry says 8 per cent of the country's surface area has been contaminated by radiation from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.

It says more than 30,000 square kilometres of the country has been blanketed by radioactive cesium.

Yes, radioactive cesium is bad. Really bad. In case you were wondering.
