Re: Massive quake hits Japan; Tsunami in Pacific, nations on alert

There is a nuclear power plant right now in Tokyo that is on fire due to the fact that the generators to cool the reactor failed in the fallout from the quake.

This is very scary due to the fact that it shares a similar situation with the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. It was actually a fire in the reactor due to a similar cooling problem that blew the dome off the building, and spewed radiation and poison across the landscape, leading to the city of pripyat being permanently abandoned.

I dont know what steps they are taking to try and stop the fire, and they have not commented yet on if there is any radiation leaking inside or around the building...very scary
