On Friday we talked about the Earthquake and Tsunami that occurred in Japan. The following link provides information on the nuclear explosions that have now occurred as a result.
Leave your thoughts.
The damage from these Nuclear power plants is horrible. The first one blew up and leaked out 3 years of collected radiation that is now in the ground (Water supply could get affected soil and plant could also get affected). Also that now some of that radiation is in the air affecting people within 30 killometer (19 miles). When the second one blew up people were expecting it to those because the decrease in radiation. The 2 explosion destroyed 9 nuclear rods that once they were not in there cantaminet started melting and getting in the ground.
In Japan people that live within 20 kilometers of the nuclear powerplant have had to leave there homes, all do to an earthquake. I think that this is unfair to the people in Japan and they should clean it up as fast as they can so people can move back into their houses. The radiation is spreading 8,200 microsieverts per hour.
i could imagine all the suffering and feer in all the people in japan that would be so scary.i also think that it would be scary for parents of a newborn baby or any young child. first it started as a bad earthquake then turned into a huge tsunami. i would of freaked out when i felt the earthquake
i thought that it was very sad because of all the people that live in japan. they must be very scared because of the tsunami,earthquake and now the radiation leaking into the air.so much is happening at one time that they dont know what to do .the first problem was the tsunami and the earthquake that they had to clean up after and now they have radiation to clean up after, even though they dont have the mess from the disasters cleaned up. this is probably very stressful for the government of japan.
I think that ever since the first earthquake that had recently happened, everything has gotten worse. The Tsunami destructed everything in it's path, and left a huge amount of people either dead, or missing. I think that it will take Japan a long time to recover, and global warming will increase because of the 3 year naturally occuring radiation was exploded and wasted in a 1 hour time period. I think this nuclear exposion was terrible, and it will deffinetly affect the country.
It was allready bad enough from the tsunami then the nuclear power plant. many people died from this and the nuclear wast is going into japan. it will effect the crops and people will get very sick. i think that people should just have the nuclear power plants some where safe were nothing bad could happen thats what i would do.
the Tsunami is very bad and is destroying nuculiear power plants and the radiation is now just floating through japan. That could have long term affects on the plants and animals. also the Tsunami has done major effects on peoples home and has killed alot of people
i think that they should be more careful and have the nuclear power plant sucure for emergencies if its possible. i dont like nuclear power because when you make a mistake or a disaster like this then it can hurt the stations surroundings. if you could protect these nuclear plants then it would be a safer way to produce energy.

Dangerous levels of radiation are leaking. radiation levels outside the plant reached 8,200 microsieverts per hour. That is more than three years of naturally occurring radioactivity in a single hour. There have allready been parcial meltdowns at the unit's No. 1 and No. 3 reactor. A patial meltdown means that the nuclear fuel rods that make up the core have gotten so hot they started to melt. If they meelt all the way its considered a full meltdown, but that doesn't necessarily mean the radioactive materials have breached the containment structure and escaped. Both blasts were blamed on explosive hydrogen gas coming from the reactor cores.
I think the explosins are really bad and if the core cooling would have worked then it is likely that many of these would not happen.Luckly many of the people were evacuated and not to many were hurt but this problem will just add more to the problems they are dealing with now and im sure that it not just over yet but they have gone though the worst already.
I believe since the first earthquake occured everything has became worse. The Tsunami destructed everything in it's path. It left people dead and or missing. I think that global warming will increase because of the 3 year naturally occuring radiation was exploded. I think this will have a huge impact on the country and it will take a while to recover.
I cant believe that radiation levels outsiide the plant reached 8,200.microsieverts per hour. Its sad that people had to leave there homes to be safe. The explosion was caused by hydrogen build up as a result of emergency attemps to cool the reactors core. Effertors to cool no.2 reactor with pumped seawater temporarily failed- leaving the nuclear fuel rods inside exposed and rasing the risk that the rods probaly melted. By ted young
What happened in Japan is all a horrible natural diaster to begin with. The 9.0 earthquake and then the tsunami ontop of that. The officials in Japan are probably scarmbling to get out of the state that they are in but they are obviously having a hard time. They are without power still and are having to pump sea water into the places with the dangerous nuclear stuff in them. There have already been explosions and Japan is being evacuated if you are with 20 kilometers of the explosion spot and if you are within 30 kilometers they are being advised to stay inside. Overall it is terrible that this is happening and I hope that they can get it solved soon.
Ever since the 8.9 earthquake happened in Japan things have started to get worse.Tsunami destroyed everything in its path,and killed many people.And now nuclear explosions are destroying peoples homes.I think that it will take Japan a long time to get back to nornmal because of the radiation that was stored for 3 years exploded and wasted in a 1 hour.There have been other nuclear explosions that just make things even harder for Japan to recover from.I think that because of the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear explosions it will take Japan a great amount of time to recover and start to get things back to normal.
It would be very bad thing if those fuel rods melted becasue it could burn through the holding chamber and leek out. The nuclear explosion has effected everone in about a 20 mile radious. There was a nuclear explosion a long time ago that casued the kids to get thyroyde cancer,(not in Japan),so that would not be very good if anymore radiation leeked out and reeched people. This might effect their ecomy a lot becasue the radiation could effect agriculture, animals and water supply.
Madison. I agree with you, it will take a long tie to recover considering global warming and the destruction it has caused. I believe everything has been continuing to get worse since the earthquake and i am beginning to think even worse things will happen. What do you think?
I think what has happened in Japan is absolutely horbble. People that lived with in miles of the power plants had to evacuate and now have no place to go. The earthquake is what started everything off, because then there was a Tsunami, and now the power plant. Everything has just got worse and it will take years to come back together. I feel bad for the many people who lost family members, and I hope that Japan gets back together quickly.
My ? is how will they be able to stop it how do you stop it from polluting the air and how do you prevent this stoff from happening. the answer is you cant when an earth quake happens you maybe be able to prepare for it but you really cant stop it.and that unit 2 there having trouble with.There shooting sea water into the units to cool them down. hydrogen can be made when the core gets to hot and can cause they units to blow up and that 17 crew members where exposed to low levels of radio-activeness.
I feel that while on monday, we were all complaining about our own unimportant problems, while in japan, there was a nuclear explosion. I also feel that japan needs our help, if we could do even the smallest thing to help them, i'm sure it could make a huge difference. Not only are the people greatly affected, but the earthquake/tsunami/radiation leak had affected the earth tremendously. And you thought you had problems.
I honestly think that this is a terrible crisis. The people first have to deal with a Tsunami, next earthquakes and now RADIOACTIVE WASTE?! As far as I understand, Japan is the most ready location of the world to face earthquakes. And Tsunamii. But Toxic waste leaks? That is something not anticipated. What I think is that not just the residents should be protected, but anything hazardous if destroyed. Such as factorys that store any type of waste that can have a bad effect if released, Nuclear Power plants, coal mines, Gun shops. Just anythng that if ruined can harm anything INCLUDING nature. I aprecciate the fact that they are using a bit more green source of energy, but why not build flood gates and use the water that goes through to form a hydroelectric energy? It can limit the flow so that the flooding is controlable. Also another problem is that to try and prevent the problem, THEY USE FREAKING SALT WATER! SALT WATER JUST MADE THE MATTER WORSE! Now all of their Nuke Power Stations are on high alert meltdown! USE OTHER SOURCES OF ENERGY! There is at least 5 other ways to make electricity!
The power plants are causing mass distruction in Japan people that live 20 kilometers away must evacuate and even people that live 30 kilometers away must stay inside. There is more than three years of natural nuclear radiation has already leaked out of the plant.Both blasts were blamed on explosive hydrogen gas coming from the reactor cores. Hydrogen is produced when the reacters start to over heat. I think that this is extremely bad and is getting worse by the minute. I also think once all this is over it will take yaers to get every thing cleaned up.
The damage done by the earthquake & the tsunami were devastating. Also the reactors are beginning to leak and fill the air with toxic gases. one reactor has already gone off and destroyed the plant and the other can go off any time.
I honestly feel bad for the people in Japan. The earthquake is #5 on the top recorded history of earth quakes. It has a preliminary magnitude of 8.9 and happened near the east coast of Honshu, Japan. So many people lost there homes or even there family. Since Japan is pretty close to being overpopulated, it will take a long time for them to recover.
Tsunami is horrible and is deistroying nuculear power plants. The radiation is ggliding through japan. That is not omly killng people but plants and animals. Brendan McWilliams
the earthquake in japan caused the tsunami and the leakage of the nucular power plant everyone with in 20 kilometers had to leave there homes.the radition in the air is 30 kilometers. there was only two explosions but they destroyed 9 rods
@Sydney; I think things will also start to get worse, but get better to. I think more people will be found hopefully, but I think peopls lives have been dramatically changed.
the radiation levels are dangerously rising from the earthquake that hit Japan on Tuesday. it had gotten so bad that, people within a 12 mile radius was orded to evacuate and people wihtin 19 miles had to stay inside. the levels of radiation outside the plant reached 8,200 microsieverts per hour. thats more than three years of naturally occurring radioactivity in just one hour! how insain is that? the number 2 reacter was rocked a bit from the earthquake and the number 4 is on fire. one of the spokesmen Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency says that the damage could be to the unit's suppression pool. the suppression pool is what surrounds the nuclear reactor. it is only used in emergencies to cool the core. if real damage had happened, then air or water could leak outn depending on where it is. the pressure was dropped in the pool after the exsplosion and the cooling water level dropped aswell. ever since all the disaster, workers ahve been trying their best to control crisis after crisis at the power palnt. many qusetions adressing whether or not they can keep the reactors and the radioactive material inside the plant. hopefully they can. Overall, i think that its terrible that all of this has happened to the people of Japan. i hope everything turns out okay and nobody else gets hurt.
Wow... they just got hit by an earthquake and a tsunami on firday and now they are saying there is going to be a nuclear explosion! That is forreal crazyy!! If i saw Korea being shook, flooded, and have nuclear explosions my first though would go to my family who lives there. Korea is really close to Japan and if Japan wasn't there Korea would hav gotton hit. I worry for the kids there. Thousands of people had died and thousands of more are dying. My mom showed me on the internet of the tsunami on friday and I will tell you it was really scary even though im the one watching and not the one actually in that situation. The water was so fast and big and it looked unreal. What if Hawaii and the other places being warn gets hit? the world would be a disaster and it would take years to fix. I would hate to see any more damage to the earth.
Again, i feel bad for Japan. So many things have happened to them, like the Earthquake, tsunami, and now nuclar explosions. I think people should really start evacuating Japan because of how mant things are going wrong. It would be really had to get them all out of Japan though. I wonder why all these things are happening.
@Deborah; I agree with you, all these earthquakes and tsunamis have been crazy, and Hawaii did get hit, not by the earthquake but by the tsunami, but it wasnt as bad. Also, I worry for all the children there, because I think most of them are way to young to lose their homes and loved ones, and almost everything.
I would get a green card fly over to america and just leave the country. It would freak me out and I'd be glad that the Prime Minister is making everyone within 12 miles evacuate.
In Japan people that live within 20 kilometers of the nuclear powerplant have had to leave there homes, all do to an earthquake. I think that this is unfair to the people in Japan and they should clean it up as fast as they can so people can move back into their houses. The radiation is spreading 8,200 microsieverts per hour.
The damage from these Nuclear power plants is horrible.The first one blew up and leaked out 3 years of collected radiation that is now in the ground Water supply could get affected soil and plant could also get affected.In Japan people that live within 20 kilometers of the nuclear powerplant have had to leave there homes, all do to an earthquake and the leaking of the nucalur waste. i dont think its right for them to have to leave.
I think that ever since the first earthquake that had recently happened, everything has gotten worse. The Tsunami destructed everything in it's path, and left a huge amount of people either dead, or missing. I think that it will take awhile for Japan to recover from what happened.And global warming will increase because of the 3 year naturally occuring radiation was exploded and wasted in a 1 hour time period. There have already been explosions and Japan is being evacuated if you are with 20 kilometers of the explosion spot and if you are within 30 kilometers they are being advised to stay inside. Overall it is terrible that this is happening and I hope that they can get it solved soon.
the nuclear power plants that got destroyed is terrible it is also harmfull the radiation is now in the water supply and could harm all the people in the areas from all the explosions. i wonder if it will now go into the united states.
I believe that every since that the first earthquake occured every thing is getting worse.The Tsunami destructed everything in it's path, and left a huge amount people death. I think that it will take Japan a long time to recover. Also I think that global warming will increase because of the 3 year naturally occuring radiation was exploded. I think this will have a huge impact on the country and it will take a while to recover. jordan harbour
I thought that it was very sad because of all the people that live in Japan. they must be very scared because of the tsunami,earthquake and now the radiation leaking into the air.So much is happening at one time that they dont know what to do.The first problem was the tsunami and the earthquake that they had to clean up after and now they have radiation to clean up after, even though they dont have the mess from the disasters cleaned up. This is probably very stressful for the government of Japan.They probaly are like how can we fix this.
Keeping the nuclear fuel rods inside the core covered with water is crucial to preventing a meltdown, But the cooling systems for 3 separate reactors at the Daiichi plant have been failing since Friday's magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami knocked out power at the facility. Ever since the earth quake happened I don't think Japan will ever be the same. It moved 8 ft ! I think that's insane I never would have thought that that would happen at all. The Tsunami destroyed everything there, and left a huge amount of people either dead, or MIA. I think this explosion was terrible and it will definitely take a while to recover unless a mirical happens, I feel bad for the people and therre homes.
I feel so bad for all the people who had to evacuate! all the poor people and all the damage this has fone to their daliy life. I wonder what will happen to all of the land thats been destroyed? I hope this terrible tradgy will be cleaned up soon!
The damage is a big problem.When the radiation builds up it can make people sick and the more radiation someone has in their body the more likely he or she will die.I think the damage might even be permanent.
Ever since the 8.9 earthquake happened in Japan things got worse.Tsunami destroyed everything in its path,and killed many people.And now nuclear explosions are destroying peoples homes.the radiation that was stored for 3 years exploded and wasted in a 1 hour.There have been other nuclear explosions that just make things even harder for Japan to recover from.I think that because of the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear explosions it will take Japan a long amount of time to recover and start to get things back to normal. my sympathy goes out to the poor people in japan.
I agree with you stephanie.The government is veary hard for Japan right now.Also its probaly so hard to be there with all the stuff that has been going down lately.
The damage to the nuclear power plants is horrible. I think that its horrible about how many people i cant imagine if I was there or if I lived there. Seeing your home be destroyed has to be terrible. I think that since the earthquake that happend just a few days ago everything has been getting worse for Japan and I think that it will take a very long time for Japan to recover.
Ever since the 8.9 earthquake happened in Japan things have started to get worse.Tsunami destroyed everything in its path,and killed many people.And now nuclear explosions are destroying peoples homes.I think that it will take Japan a long time to get back to nornmal because of the radiation that was stored for 3 years exploded and wasted in a 1 hour.There have been other nuclear explosions that just make things even harder for Japan to recover from.I think that because of the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear explosions it will take Japan a great amount of time to recover and start to get things back to normal.
All the damage from the Nuclear power plant is terrible. people that lived within 12 miles of the explosion had to evacuate there homes and they had no where to go. They told everyone within 19 miles og the Nuclear explosion to go inside there homes and stay there. Most residents within 12 miles of the Nuclear explosion have already evacuated.
What happened in Japan is a horrible disater. The earthquake was at a 9.0 plus a tsunami with it.The Tsunami destructed everything in its path and left a huge amount of people either dead or missing. It will take a long time to recover considering global warming and the destruction it has caused.So many people lost there homes or even there family. It will take a long time for Japan to recover.
I feel bad for japan i mean imagine if that happen in ohio that would be horrible and if it killed that many people then if it happen in ohio pretty mush everybody would not survive. There is radiation,earthquake, and tsunami damage in japan and it will be affecting us to because alot of our items are made in japan
Dangerous levels of radiation are leaking and the radiation level has reached 8200 microsieverts per hour.this is more than three years of naturally occuring radioactivity in a single hour.people that live within 20 kilometers of the powerplant in Japan had to leave there homes due to the earthquake. i couldnt take all that pain and scariness if i was in japan i feel really feel bad for the japan people its very sad.
Pfft, geez. The damage from the hurricane AND the tsunami is just horrible. And now because of the tsunami, Nuclear Power Plants are beginning to leak out and spill. The first reaction of one of the power plants that it leaked out three years worth of collected radiation that's now in the ground. This could cause poor soil for farming and water contamination. Now that some of the radiation is in the air, it contaminates any human being within 30 kilometers (Nineteen miles) When the second radiation leak happened, it destroyed nine nuclear rods, which started melting and conaminating everything and getting into the ground.
It's horrible that all because of the earthquake, everyone within 20 kilometers of the nuclear power plant had to evacuate and leave their homes. I feel so bad for the people in Japan. Three horrible problems in a row. There was the earthquake, then a tsunami, and now radiation leaking. I have sympathy for the people living there. The radiation in the air will have an effect on the plants and animals in Japan.
the damge going tha happend is huge they have shut down the factorys. the power plaints did a big anount of damage. millions of lives were lost because of the earth quake and the tsunami. taylor roberts
I first off have to say this entire event is rather frighting, I feel very sorry for everyone there and I am concerned them. I also think it is very scary that people from about 12 miles away have to evacuate and people who are only 19 miles away are told to stay inside, what is even more nerveracking is that people are not guarentedd to be safe just because they are inside. The explosin not only is dangerous but it proboably is cantaminating air supply and water supply. I feel bad for the many people in Japan.
I think that this is a horrible thing to happen to the Japanese. I think that we should help them out somehow. In my opinion, anyone that says "That's what they get for bombing Pearl Harbor" is wrong. They only bombed one city. We dropped atom bombs on 2 of their cities. It's not fair what we did to them. I think we should help. Sam Tendam
the dangerous levels of radiation in just north of Tokyo seemed like it coulve been preventable. The japaneese prime minister ordered everybody within 20 kilometers to evacuate, people within 30 kilometers should stay inside but were warned about the risks. the No. 4 reactor caught fire and sent an explosion rocketed the No. 2 reactor Tuesday. from then the whole entire place got messed up....thats all i got to say.
@ Daniel O'Hearn: There is pretty much nowhere safe to put it. If we put it in the ocean, a nuclear BP spill will happen in the Pacific Ocean. Then all the fish will die off and we'll have less water available to drink. We can't really just move it, because if it blows up again, a different place will be inflicted with radiation. There is nowhere safe to put a nuclear plant. Sam Tendam
I thought that they would be able to control the nuclur energy and cantain the power but it looks like japan is in big trouble and if we sit and thet it happen there will be a lot of panic and confuistion. We get a lot of our products from other countries like japan, and if we can't get those then the prices will raise and the economy will be in worse shape than it is right now.
This is just so terrible! I can't believe Japan's luck. I really feel for them, I really do. Just think, it's really sad that people either have to evacuate or find a new shelter. The big question is: How long will it take for Japan to go back to normal if ever?? This is just a huge disaster!! :(
I feel really bad for the people in Japan. There was something on the news this morning about people who were infected with the radiation. It makes me sad to know that there are so many horrible natural disasters that can ruin people's lives. Also on the news, it said a lot of people were evacuating the country to get away from all the disaster. Lots of people are living in little shelters and they all just want to go home. Lots of people were reported missing and more than that are dead. I hope Japan can get through this.
In social studdies class we atched channel 1 news and we learned about this. Many people were getting radiation tests and the reason they were getting these was because radiaton was spread through the air. the people doing the tests were all dressed in white and had alot of proective gear on. It felt like it was straight from a science fiction movie.
The prime minister told everyone within 20 km to evacuate. If i was i that postioin i would be so affraid. Being told to evacuate by your own leader would be very scary because i would have to leave my home, my school, my friends and family to then head off to a very confusing life much different than it was before.
This expllosion was very different from two other explosions, unit 1 and 3, which were both caused by hydrogen build up.
The nuclear exploisions are going to change alot of peoples lives. many who live by these plants have been forced to evacuate. The radiation will also make living conditions harder. most have to be checked to see if they are carrying radiation. for the people that have radiatio this can be a bad thinng because radiation can diagnose people with cancer and can also make cancer worse for people that already have it
The Damage from the Japanese Power plant is horribly terrible. The 1st(first) that blew up, and leaked out 3 years of collected radiation, now it is in the ground. ( Water supply could get affected soil and plants could also be affected). Since, the radiation has came out people in a 30 kilometer radius should evacuate immediately.(19 miles). When the 2nd explosion leaked out/ blew up, they were expecting the radiation to stop. Also, the 2nd explosion destroyed 9 nuclear rods. Really, all of this is just the worst that's ever happened to Japan!
I am amazed that the tsunami did that much damage to Japan. Who knew that the water could easily topple down houses in seconds. One thing I know is that we will soon be setting up fund raisers to help people without homes in Japan. Another thing that surprised me was that there were multiple nuclear power plants along the coast just waiting for a disaster to happen like this.
@ Abby Jaspers More people are evacuating, anyone within 20 km of the place did and i agree i do also feel bad for the people in japan. I hope they get all of these things figured out before anything else goes wrong!
I would be devastated if i were the one having to live in the trash that the 9.0 magnitude earthquake had brought. The worst thing that the earthquake had done was the nuclear explosion, although it wasn't as bad as the one in Ukraine, it was still pretty bad. Everyone in a radius of about 12 miles are evacuated from this site. People are beginning to be checked for radiation exposure on them. More and more chemicals are leaking out. How sad. Also it is sending big tsunami waves which that is not good for it either.
My thoughts on the earthquake and tsumami that hit are very shocking and disterbed at all the rubble and reckedge left behind. I also can't belive all the nucular radiation left behind in the air and how many people got sick because of it. Alex Richmond
That was very wow like a week after Selena Gomez comes back from there, is a earthquake haha she is bad luck like foreall it makes me laugh bout that but i feel really bad for everyone that was injured or killed in that tsunami in Japan.
I feel bad for all the people that lived within 20 kilometers from that nuclear plant. I'm glad there safe in everything, it probably cost a lot of money.i wonder how far the nuclear waste will spread.and i wonder if it could spread to the USA.
i think that the damage was really bad. it destroyed all lot of japan and made a nuclear power plant unstable and gave a lot of people radiation sickness.
I couldn't imagine all the pain these people are going through and on how tough this is.If it was me having this happening in my home town I would be so terrified and I just wouldn't know what to do.
I think the tsunami is a terrible disaster people are losing homes plus not only that the earthquake and the nuclear power plant are causing many deaths too. japan is going to take a long time for tit to come back to the way it was before but hopefully its sooner than later.
I think that it is just said hat people had to move out of there homes just because of rdiation. I think that it is not fair for the people who live in japan and it should be fixed by helping the people so they can get back what they have lost. I just think that it is amazing that people that live within 20 kilometers of the nuclear powerplant have had to leave there homes.
What happened to Japan is terrible. But sadly the worse is still not over, the necular powerplants are beginning to melt down and if the residents become infected they have a serious problem. The residents that live in 20 kilometers of the nuclear powerplants are being evacuated and scanned to see if they were exposed with radiation. There has already been 2 meltdowns, and the scientists are trying to cool down the cores with anything,hidrogen water ect. One of the meltdowns was because of over cooling and it caused a fire and an explosion. Japan is going through some hard times and all we can do is hope and pray that everything will endup all right.
In Japan the Tsunami affected many people. People evacuated quickly. Ever since the earthquake, everything has gone downhill. The Tsunami destroyed everything in it's path, and left most people either dead, or hurt. It will definately take Japan a long time to recover. The Radiation Plant is definately going to be one of the biggest problems. One of them exploded and released 3 years worth of collected radiation. Radiation can cause cancer, which would eventually decrease Japan's population. I am curious to see how they will try and solve this massive problem.
@ jarod francis: i agree with you on that green card because i wouldn't live in a country with nuclear waste in the air. i would fly to farthest place possible from the waste.
i think this is horriable but not to horriable because its not a huge problum but its not a super small one either. that many people getting killed is horriable and that it could cause cancers too is awefull i feel really bad for the people that live there.
I agree with Anthony: I agree with him b/c it would be scary if I were in Japan and the radiation from the Nuclear Power-Plant had leaked out and couldn't stop it. Also, the water, soil, and food supply could get very much affected.
I was going to say we watched that on Channel One. I thought it was interesting how they were testing people. They were using a little circle device to test them. I wonder how exactly that thing works? Does that use radiation to test for radiation? If it does what's the point of even testing anyone?
i feel that Japan has been through alot this past week. tsunami's, eathquakes, aftershocks, and malfunchions of power plants that could be a huge fear for all saftey and sanity of Japan. If i was there. i would feel trumatized.i wouln't know what to do and whare to go because all my belongings would probably be gone or just ruined. I would hope that my family would be okay and i just hope that everyone is still okay and that they find more people in the rubble alive. 8(
I could not imagine this to happen in Cincinnati were we would have to evacuate I think it would be hard to adjust to live somewere out of Cincinnati. Plus people would have to be checked out with a device that would check if you were exposed to radioactivity.
I know! I can't even begin to imagine how people are reacting and how this is affecting their life. I wonder where people traveled to when they evacuated Japan? How can they afford anything? I feel really bad for them and wish I could help. This will probably take years to clean up.
The dammage done in Japan from the quakes is horrible! I feel so bad for the tons of people who lost many family members in the horrible natural disater! I dint know what i would do if that were me in their position. I was thinking about something watching this story on the news last night. We have had an unexpected amount of natural disasters latley. we had the oil spill in the gulf,and now japan. the reason japan is such a big deal is b/c that country is a big place for importing and exporting goods and another reason is the great amount of people that died in this natural disaster. It makes me wonder how many people survived it but are still out there stranded with no place to go
All the damage caused by the nuclear plants is just terible! The first plant blew up and it leaked three years of collected radiation into the ground, that could affect the water supply, also soil and plants could get affected. Now, the radiation is in the air which is affecting people within 30 killometers. Than the second plant blew up. The 2 explostions destpryed 9 nuclear rods.
I would be very scared if i were them the radiation from the power plant can be a catastrophe. first there was an earthquake a Tsunami and then worst of all a nucuealer explosion. Which can effect your brain and make you violent stressed out and dumb.
I believe since the first earthquake occured everything has became worse. The Tsunami destructed everything in it's path. It left people dead and or missing. I think that global warming will increase because of the 3 year naturally occuring radiation was exploded. I think this will have a huge impact on the country and it will take a while to recover.
Radiation leaked at 8,200 microsieverts per hour at the front gate. More than three years of radaition collected leaked out in the first hour. The number 4 reactor is on fire and the number 2 reactor blue up on tuesday. I think at plants like this should have some sort of radiation cover around it.
I am awstruck right now about the situation in Japan. I think another country around them like China should help them out. Im sure Japan would do the same for them.
There has been tons ofpower plants leaking and ending up killing alot of people. There is a good chance of it exploading and killing new borns, teens, children, and adults. The nuclear power plant if it does expload then about 30,000 people will be killed in Japan.
I feal really bad for all the people in japan that were affected by this terrible disaster. everything has just gone down hill from the spot we startes first the earth quake then the tsunami and now all the power plants i just hope this isnt like the new orleans how its taken them over 4 years to get that place back together but the way things look right now its going to take even longer.NATHAN STENGER
If a 9.0 earthquake was happening were I live, I would be freaking out and I would be scared. Radiation levels reached to 8,200 microsieverts. I would be really sad if my family was either hurt or killed during the earthquake and tsunami.
It is both amazing and devastating at the same time. The radiation has multiplied to 8200 microsieverts an hour. I feel sorry for those that had to leave their homes all because of an earthquake. This is outrageous beyond belief.
What happened in Japan was very terrible, Its sad that over 1000 people had died. If I were in Japan right now, I would be scared to death. I feel like I want to help but I dont know how I'm supposed to do that because I am just one 13 year old that cant do anything.
It never accrued to me that that Japan wasn’t affected a lot on the earthquake destroying towns but making the nuclear power plants leaking. It could effect health issues and effect the economy, many well lose their jobs and home’s. Supplies would be cut and people well starve. I hope they can contain the problem soon, or else it could be impossible to contain the waste, more or less stop

I feel bad for the people in japan. Its sad for the people that live near the nuclear power station. its about 20 kilometers. I wish that we could have the technology to tell us when earthquakes are going to happen. i hate to see this happen to places that people go to vacation on. Now all the food stock is low and everyhting is wiped out. this reminds me of hurricane katrina. Mrs.Martz do you think Japan will get the same treatment as the people in New Orleans did?
i think this is very sad all those people had to evacuate their homes because of the nuclear radiation. three years worth of radiation came out in an hour. on the radio i heard the sunami was 13feet tall!!!!!!
I think that this matter is extremely important. Espicesally for the people who were in the "ring" of the plant. this expolision was difrent from the 1 and 3 because they were hydrogen build up. They tried to cool the 2 plant with sea water but tempoarily it doesn't work. The people are now getting tested for radiation because if you have enough radiation you could get some sort of cancer in you body.
the damage that happend was very bad.it blew up and leaked out 3 years of radiatoin that was collected,but is now out and not colcted.their water supply and their plants and soil coul also be contaminated.the radiaton is now in the air and it is affecting them within 30 killometers (19 miles)from them.but when the second one blew up the eople were expecting it because their was a decrease in radiation.the 2 explosions destroyed 9 neuclear rods that once was not in the contaminated started melting and not getting in the ground
Is is just so horrible to see to see that wave of water that went 620 mph and the wave is not stoping and you see the people driving on the high way trying to get away from it you know there dead and its horrible to see it happening right there on TV. and then you have not only the Tsunami but the earthquake did damage to. and with all those people dead you think its over and they can go back and make repairs but no they have a radiation leak now yes RADIATION and it could explode its just bad over there the littlest of good new would life there souls i mean what there witnessiing right now its just i could not think of what there feeling right now its just horrible to see all that happening to one little country. to see that wave come in and take out every house in its path and then it just gets washed back up on the beach. my heat goes with them
The damage of the nuclear power plants is bad.The first to blow up leaked out 3 years of collected radiationthat is now in the ground(water supply could get affected soil and plants could also get affected). Also that now some pf the radiation is in the air affecting people within 19 miles. The 2nd explosion destroyed 9 nuclear rods. Andrew Hudson
What happened in Japan is horrible and suprising. I would have never thought that a nuclear power plant would have that much damage from a tsunami and earthquake. Although I dont know that much about tsunamis. I would like to learn more about them in class this year. -Kaleigh McCarthy
The after effects of the leaking radiation is terrible. I think it is not far that those pepole who live within 12 miles had to leave. Also the pepole who live 19 miles within the plant have to stay inside that isnt far to the kids who want to play outside. I personaly werid that the leak can get into the water supply and comtaminate the water. Its scary to think that 3 years of radiation started to leak. I hope that there is a way to clen up the radiation before it gets to out of hand.
To: Madison Dorrington, I had no idea you could get cancer from radiation! I wonder what is in the radiation that causes cancer? What are your thoughts about this? -Kaleigh McCarthy
I think this is terrible. The explosion at the nuclear reacters is devestating. I think it is sad that some people have to move because of a blown up nuclear reactor.
I think that ever since the first earthquake that had recently happened, everything has gotten worse. The Tsunami destructed everything in it's path, and left a huge amount of people either dead, or missing.I think that global warming will increase because of the 3 year naturally occuring radiation was exploded. I think this will have a huge impact on the country and it will take a while to recover.

The damage from these Nuclear power plants is horrible. The first one blew up and leaked out 3 years of collected radiation that is now in the ground (Water supply could get affected soil and plant could also get affected). Also that now some of that radiation is in the air affecting people within 30 killometer (19 miles). When the second one blew up people were expecting it to those because the decrease in radiation. The 2 explosion destroyed 9 nuclear rods that once they were not in there cantaminet started melting and getting in the ground.
Overall not good.
In Japan people that live within 20 kilometers of the nuclear powerplant have had to leave there homes, all do to an earthquake. I think that this is unfair to the people in Japan and they should clean it up as fast as they can so people can move back into their houses. The radiation is spreading 8,200 microsieverts per hour.
Ethan Mercurio
i could imagine all the suffering and feer in all the people in japan that would be so scary.i also think that it would be scary for parents of a newborn baby or any young child. first it started as a bad earthquake then turned into a huge tsunami. i would of freaked out when i felt the earthquake
i thought that it was very sad because of all the people that live in japan. they must be very scared because of the tsunami,earthquake and now the radiation leaking into the air.so much is happening at one time that they dont know what to do .the first problem was the tsunami and the earthquake that they had to clean up after and now they have radiation to clean up after, even though they dont have the mess from the disasters cleaned up. this is probably very stressful for the government of japan.
I think that ever since the first earthquake that had recently happened, everything has gotten worse. The Tsunami destructed everything in it's path, and left a huge amount of people either dead, or missing. I think that it will take Japan a long time to recover, and global warming will increase because of the 3 year naturally occuring radiation was exploded and wasted in a 1 hour time period. I think this nuclear exposion was terrible, and it will deffinetly affect the country.
It was allready bad enough from the tsunami then the nuclear power plant. many people died from this and the nuclear wast is going into japan. it will effect the crops and people will get very sick. i think that people should just have the nuclear power plants some where safe were nothing bad could happen thats what i would do.
~Daniel O'Hearn~
the Tsunami is very bad and is destroying nuculiear power plants and the radiation is now just floating through japan. That could have long term affects on the plants and animals. also the Tsunami has done major effects on peoples home and has killed alot of people
i think that they should be more careful and have the nuclear power plant sucure for emergencies if its possible. i dont like nuclear power because when you make a mistake or a disaster like this then it can hurt the stations surroundings. if you could protect these nuclear plants then it would be a safer way to produce energy.
YAHANZ VELASQUEZ
i agree with drew and the radiation kills people and animals.
YAHANZ VELASQUEZ
Dangerous levels of radiation are leaking. radiation levels outside the plant reached 8,200 microsieverts per hour. That is more than three years of naturally occurring radioactivity in a single hour. There have allready been parcial meltdowns at the unit's No. 1 and No. 3 reactor. A patial meltdown means that the nuclear fuel rods that make up the core have gotten so hot they started to melt. If they meelt all the way its considered a full meltdown, but that doesn't necessarily mean the radioactive materials have breached the containment structure and escaped. Both blasts were blamed on explosive hydrogen gas coming from the reactor cores.
I think the explosins are really bad and if the core cooling would have worked then it is likely that many of these would not happen.Luckly many of the people were evacuated and not to many were hurt but this problem will just add more to the problems they are dealing with now and im sure that it not just over yet but they have gone though the worst already.
I believe since the first earthquake occured everything has became worse. The Tsunami destructed everything in it's path. It left people dead and or missing. I think that global warming will increase because of the 3 year naturally occuring radiation was exploded. I think this will have a huge impact on the country and it will take a while to recover.
I cant believe that radiation levels outsiide the plant reached 8,200.microsieverts per hour. Its sad that people had to leave there homes to be safe. The explosion was caused by hydrogen build up as a result of emergency attemps to cool the reactors core. Effertors to cool no.2 reactor with pumped seawater temporarily failed- leaving the nuclear fuel rods inside exposed and rasing the risk that the rods probaly melted.
By ted young
What happened in Japan is all a horrible natural diaster to begin with. The 9.0 earthquake and then the tsunami ontop of that. The officials in Japan are probably scarmbling to get out of the state that they are in but they are obviously having a hard time. They are without power still and are having to pump sea water into the places with the dangerous nuclear stuff in them. There have already been explosions and Japan is being evacuated if you are with 20 kilometers of the explosion spot and if you are within 30 kilometers they are being advised to stay inside. Overall it is terrible that this is happening and I hope that they can get it solved soon.
Ever since the 8.9 earthquake happened in Japan things have started to get worse.Tsunami destroyed everything in its path,and killed many people.And now nuclear explosions are destroying peoples homes.I think that it will take Japan a long time to get back to nornmal because of the radiation that was stored for 3 years exploded and wasted in a 1 hour.There have been other nuclear explosions that just make things even harder for Japan to recover from.I think that because of the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear explosions it will take Japan a great amount of time to recover and start to get things back to normal.
It would be very bad thing if those fuel rods melted becasue it could burn through the holding chamber and leek out. The nuclear explosion has effected everone in about a 20 mile radious. There was a nuclear explosion a long time ago that casued the kids to get thyroyde cancer,(not in Japan),so that would not be very good if anymore radiation leeked out and reeched people. This might effect their ecomy a lot becasue the radiation could effect agriculture, animals and water supply.
Madison. I agree with you, it will take a long tie to recover considering global warming and the destruction it has caused. I believe everything has been continuing to get worse since the earthquake and i am beginning to think even worse things will happen. What do you think?
I think what has happened in Japan is absolutely horbble. People that lived with in miles of the power plants had to evacuate and now have no place to go. The earthquake is what started everything off, because then there was a Tsunami, and now the power plant. Everything has just got worse and it will take years to come back together. I feel bad for the many people who lost family members, and I hope that Japan gets back together quickly.
My ? is how will they be able to stop it how do you stop it from polluting the air and how do you prevent this stoff from happening. the answer is you cant when an earth quake happens you maybe be able to prepare for it but you really cant stop it.and that unit 2 there having trouble with.There shooting sea water into the units to cool them down. hydrogen can be made when the core gets to hot and can cause they units to blow up and that 17 crew members where exposed to low levels of radio-activeness.
I feel that while on monday, we were all complaining about our own unimportant problems, while in japan, there was a nuclear explosion. I also feel that japan needs our help, if we could do even the smallest thing to help them, i'm sure it could make a huge difference. Not only are the people greatly affected, but the earthquake/tsunami/radiation leak had affected the earth tremendously. And you thought you had problems.
I honestly think that this is a terrible crisis. The people first have to deal with a Tsunami, next earthquakes and now RADIOACTIVE WASTE?! As far as I understand, Japan is the most ready location of the world to face earthquakes. And Tsunamii. But Toxic waste leaks? That is something not anticipated. What I think is that not just the residents should be protected, but anything hazardous if destroyed. Such as factorys that store any type of waste that can have a bad effect if released, Nuclear Power plants, coal mines, Gun shops. Just anythng that if ruined can harm anything INCLUDING nature. I aprecciate the fact that they are using a bit more green source of energy, but why not build flood gates and use the water that goes through to form a hydroelectric energy? It can limit the flow so that the flooding is controlable. Also another problem is that to try and prevent the problem, THEY USE FREAKING SALT WATER! SALT WATER JUST MADE THE MATTER WORSE! Now all of their Nuke Power Stations are on high alert meltdown! USE OTHER SOURCES OF ENERGY! There is at least 5 other ways to make electricity!
The power plants are causing mass distruction in Japan people that live 20 kilometers away must evacuate and even people that live 30 kilometers away must stay inside. There is more than three years of natural nuclear radiation has already leaked out of the plant.Both blasts were blamed on explosive hydrogen gas coming from the reactor cores. Hydrogen is produced when the reacters start to over heat. I think that this is extremely bad and is getting worse by the minute. I also think once all this is over it will take yaers to get every thing cleaned up.
The damage done by the earthquake & the tsunami were devastating. Also the reactors are beginning to leak and fill the air with toxic gases. one reactor has already gone off and destroyed the plant and the other can go off any time.
I honestly feel bad for the people in Japan. The earthquake is #5 on the top recorded history of earth quakes. It has a preliminary magnitude of 8.9 and happened near the east coast of Honshu, Japan. So many people lost there homes or even there family. Since Japan is pretty close to being overpopulated, it will take a long time for them to recover.
Tsunami is horrible and is deistroying nuculear power plants. The radiation is ggliding through japan. That is not omly killng people but plants and animals.
Brendan McWilliams
the earthquake in japan caused the tsunami and the leakage of the nucular power plant everyone with in 20 kilometers had to leave there homes.the radition in the air is 30 kilometers. there was only two explosions but they destroyed 9 rods
Adam Lyons
@Sydney; I think things will also start to get worse, but get better to. I think more people will be found hopefully, but I think peopls lives have been dramatically changed.
the radiation levels are dangerously rising from the earthquake that hit Japan on Tuesday. it had gotten so bad that, people within a 12 mile radius was orded to evacuate and people wihtin 19 miles had to stay inside. the levels of radiation outside the plant reached 8,200 microsieverts per hour. thats more than three years of naturally occurring radioactivity in just one hour! how insain is that? the number 2 reacter was rocked a bit from the earthquake and the number 4 is on fire. one of the spokesmen Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency says that the damage could be to the unit's suppression pool. the suppression pool is what surrounds the nuclear reactor. it is only used in emergencies to cool the core. if real damage had happened, then air or water could leak outn depending on where it is. the pressure was dropped in the pool after the exsplosion and the cooling water level dropped aswell. ever since all the disaster, workers ahve been trying their best to control crisis after crisis at the power palnt. many qusetions adressing whether or not they can keep the reactors and the radioactive material inside the plant. hopefully they can.
Overall, i think that its terrible that all of this has happened to the people of Japan. i hope everything turns out okay and nobody else gets hurt.
Wow... they just got hit by an earthquake and a tsunami on firday and now they are saying there is going to be a nuclear explosion! That is forreal crazyy!! If i saw Korea being shook, flooded, and have nuclear explosions my first though would go to my family who lives there. Korea is really close to Japan and if Japan wasn't there Korea would hav gotton hit. I worry for the kids there. Thousands of people had died and thousands of more are dying. My mom showed me on the internet of the tsunami on friday and I will tell you it was really scary even though im the one watching and not the one actually in that situation. The water was so fast and big and it looked unreal. What if Hawaii and the other places being warn gets hit? the world would be a disaster and it would take years to fix. I would hate to see any more damage to the earth.
Again, i feel bad for Japan. So many things have happened to them, like the Earthquake, tsunami, and now nuclar explosions. I think people should really start evacuating Japan because of how mant things are going wrong. It would be really had to get them all out of Japan though. I wonder why all these things are happening.
@Deborah; I agree with you, all these earthquakes and tsunamis have been crazy, and Hawaii did get hit, not by the earthquake but by the tsunami, but it wasnt as bad. Also, I worry for all the children there, because I think most of them are way to young to lose their homes and loved ones, and almost everything.
I would get a green card fly over to america and just leave the country. It would freak me out and I'd be glad that the Prime Minister is making everyone within 12 miles evacuate.
In Japan people that live within 20 kilometers of the nuclear powerplant have had to leave there homes, all do to an earthquake. I think that this is unfair to the people in Japan and they should clean it up as fast as they can so people can move back into their houses. The radiation is spreading 8,200 microsieverts per hour.
The damage from these Nuclear power plants is horrible.The first one blew up and leaked out 3 years of collected radiation that is now in the ground Water supply could get affected soil and plant could also get affected.In Japan people that live within 20 kilometers of the nuclear powerplant have had to leave there homes, all do to an earthquake and the leaking of the nucalur waste. i dont think its right for them to have to leave.
I think that ever since the first earthquake that had recently happened, everything has gotten worse. The Tsunami destructed everything in it's path, and left a huge amount of people either dead, or missing. I think that it will take awhile for Japan to recover from what happened.And global warming will increase because of the 3 year naturally occuring radiation was exploded and wasted in a 1 hour time period. There have already been explosions and Japan is being evacuated if you are with 20 kilometers of the explosion spot and if you are within 30 kilometers they are being advised to stay inside. Overall it is terrible that this is happening and I hope that they can get it solved soon.
the nuclear power plants that got destroyed is terrible it is also harmfull the radiation is now in the water supply and could harm all the people in the areas from all the explosions. i wonder if it will now go into the united states.
anthony i agree it is horiable that the powerplants blew up and people had to leave.
I believe that every since that the first earthquake occured every thing is getting worse.The Tsunami destructed everything in it's path, and left a huge amount people death. I think that it will take Japan a long time to recover. Also I think that global warming will increase because of the 3 year naturally occuring radiation was exploded. I think this will have a huge impact on the country and it will take a while to recover.

This is probably very stressful for the government of Japan.They probaly are like how can we fix this.
Keeping the nuclear fuel rods inside the core covered with water is crucial to preventing a meltdown, But the cooling systems for 3 separate reactors at the Daiichi plant have been failing since Friday's magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami knocked out power at the facility. Ever since the earth quake happened I don't think Japan will ever be the same. It moved 8 ft ! I think that's insane I never would have thought that that would happen at all. The Tsunami destroyed everything there, and left a huge amount of people either dead, or MIA. I think this explosion was terrible and it will definitely take a while to recover unless a mirical happens, I feel bad for the people and therre homes.
-Corissa Sturm,(:
I feel so bad for all the people who had to evacuate! all the poor people and all the damage this has fone to their daliy life. I wonder what will happen to all of the land thats been destroyed? I hope this terrible tradgy will be cleaned up soon!
Kelly Rogers
The damage is a big problem.When the radiation builds up it can make people sick and the more radiation someone has in their body the more likely he or she will die.I think the damage might even be permanent.
Ever since the 8.9 earthquake happened in Japan things got worse.Tsunami destroyed everything in its path,and killed many people.And now nuclear explosions are destroying peoples homes.the radiation that was stored for 3 years exploded and wasted in a 1 hour.There have been other nuclear explosions that just make things even harder for Japan to recover from.I think that because of the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear explosions it will take Japan a long amount of time to recover and start to get things back to normal. my sympathy goes out to the poor people in japan.
chase pearson
I agree with you stephanie.The government is veary hard for Japan right now.Also its probaly so hard to be there with all the stuff that has been going down lately.
The damage to the nuclear power plants is horrible. I think that its horrible about how many people i cant imagine if I was there or if I lived there. Seeing your home be destroyed has to be terrible. I think that since the earthquake that happend just a few days ago everything has been getting worse for Japan and I think that it will take a very long time for Japan to recover.

All the damage from the Nuclear power plant is terrible. people that lived within 12 miles of the explosion had to evacuate there homes and they had no where to go. They told everyone within 19 miles og the Nuclear explosion to go inside there homes and stay there. Most residents within 12 miles of the Nuclear explosion have already evacuated.
What happened in Japan is a horrible disater. The earthquake was at a 9.0 plus a tsunami with it.The Tsunami destructed everything in its path and left a huge amount of people either dead or missing. It will take a long time to recover considering global warming and the destruction it has caused.So many people lost there homes or even there family. It will take a long time for Japan to recover.
~Kailey Carter~
I feel bad for japan i mean imagine if that happen in ohio that would be horrible and if it killed that many people then if it happen in ohio pretty mush everybody would not survive. There is radiation,earthquake, and tsunami damage in japan and it will be affecting us to because alot of our items are made in japan
Dangerous levels of radiation are leaking and the radiation level has reached 8200 microsieverts per hour.this is more than three years of naturally occuring radioactivity in a single hour.people that live within 20 kilometers of the powerplant in Japan had to leave there homes due to the earthquake. i couldnt take all that pain and scariness if i was in japan i feel really feel bad for the japan people its very sad.
hunter steimle
Pfft, geez. The damage from the hurricane AND the tsunami is just horrible. And now because of the tsunami, Nuclear Power Plants are beginning to leak out and spill. The first reaction of one of the power plants that it leaked out three years worth of collected radiation that's now in the ground. This could cause poor soil for farming and water contamination. Now that some of the radiation is in the air, it contaminates any human being within 30 kilometers (Nineteen miles) When the second radiation leak happened, it destroyed nine nuclear rods, which started melting and conaminating everything and getting into the ground.
It's horrible that all because of the earthquake, everyone within 20 kilometers of the nuclear power plant had to evacuate and leave their homes. I feel so bad for the people in Japan. Three horrible problems in a row. There was the earthquake, then a tsunami, and now radiation leaking. I have sympathy for the people living there. The radiation in the air will have an effect on the plants and animals in Japan.
the damge going tha happend is huge they have shut down the factorys. the power plaints did a big anount of damage. millions of lives were lost because of the earth quake and the tsunami.
taylor roberts
I first off have to say this entire event is rather frighting, I feel very sorry for everyone there and I am concerned them. I also think it is very scary that people from about 12 miles away have to evacuate and people who are only 19 miles away are told to stay inside, what is even more nerveracking is that people are not guarentedd to be safe just because they are inside. The explosin not only is dangerous but it proboably is cantaminating air supply and water supply. I feel bad for the many people in Japan.
- Micael Van Schoik
the nuclear blow ups are terrfiyin with over 3 years of nuclear waste leaked over japan it affected the water supply
CHRISTIAN BOND
I think that this is a horrible thing to happen to the Japanese. I think that we should help them out somehow. In my opinion, anyone that says "That's what they get for bombing Pearl Harbor" is wrong. They only bombed one city. We dropped atom bombs on 2 of their cities. It's not fair what we did to them. I think we should help.
Sam Tendam
the dangerous levels of radiation in just north of Tokyo seemed like it coulve been preventable. The japaneese prime minister ordered everybody within 20 kilometers to evacuate, people within 30 kilometers should stay inside but were warned about the risks. the No. 4 reactor caught fire and sent an explosion rocketed the No. 2 reactor Tuesday.
from then the whole entire place got messed up....thats all i got to say.
yes yahanz radiation does kill
things you are right and that means people wil be injured
chase pearson
@ Daniel O'Hearn:
There is pretty much nowhere safe to put it. If we put it in the ocean, a nuclear BP spill will happen in the Pacific Ocean. Then all the fish will die off and we'll have less water available to drink. We can't really just move it, because if it blows up again, a different place will be inflicted with radiation. There is nowhere safe to put a nuclear plant.
Sam Tendam
I thought that they would be able to control the nuclur energy and cantain the power but it looks like japan is in big trouble and if we sit and thet it happen there will be a lot of panic and confuistion. We get a lot of our products from other countries like japan, and if we can't get those then the prices will raise and the economy will be in worse shape than it is right now.
This is just so terrible! I can't believe Japan's luck. I really feel for them, I really do. Just think, it's really sad that people either have to evacuate or find a new shelter. The big question is: How long will it take for Japan to go back to normal if ever?? This is just a huge disaster!! :(
I feel really bad for the people in Japan. There was something on the news this morning about people who were infected with the radiation. It makes me sad to know that there are so many horrible natural disasters that can ruin people's lives. Also on the news, it said a lot of people were evacuating the country to get away from all the disaster. Lots of people are living in little shelters and they all just want to go home. Lots of people were reported missing and more than that are dead. I hope Japan can get through this.
In social studdies class we atched channel 1 news and we learned about this. Many people were getting radiation tests and the reason they were getting these was because radiaton was spread through the air. the people doing the tests were all dressed in white and had alot of proective gear on. It felt like it was straight from a science fiction movie.
The prime minister told everyone within 20 km to evacuate. If i was i that postioin i would be so affraid. Being told to evacuate by your own leader would be very scary because i would have to leave my home, my school, my friends and family to then head off to a very confusing life much different than it was before.
This expllosion was very different from two other explosions, unit 1 and 3, which were both caused by hydrogen build up.
The nuclear exploisions are going to change alot of peoples lives. many who live by these plants have been forced to evacuate. The radiation will also make living conditions harder. most have to be checked to see if they are carrying radiation. for the people that have radiatio this can be a bad thinng because radiation can diagnose people with cancer and can also make cancer worse for people that already have it
Ryan Bussard
The Damage from the Japanese Power plant is horribly terrible. The 1st(first) that blew up, and leaked out 3 years of collected radiation, now it is in the ground. ( Water supply could get affected soil and plants could also be affected). Since, the radiation has came out people in a 30 kilometer radius should evacuate immediately.(19 miles). When the 2nd explosion leaked out/ blew up, they were expecting the radiation to stop. Also, the 2nd explosion destroyed 9 nuclear rods. Really, all of this is just the worst that's ever happened to Japan!
I am amazed that the tsunami did that much damage to Japan. Who knew that the water could easily topple down houses in seconds. One thing I know is that we will soon be setting up fund raisers to help people without homes in Japan. Another thing that surprised me was that there were multiple nuclear power plants along the coast just waiting for a disaster to happen like this.
@ Abby Jaspers
More people are evacuating, anyone within 20 km of the place did and i agree i do also feel bad for the people in japan. I hope they get all of these things figured out before anything else goes wrong!
I would be devastated if i were the one having to live in the trash that the 9.0 magnitude earthquake had brought. The worst thing that the earthquake had done was the nuclear explosion, although it wasn't as bad as the one in Ukraine, it was still pretty bad. Everyone in a radius of about 12 miles are evacuated from this site. People are beginning to be checked for radiation exposure on them. More and more chemicals are leaking out. How sad. Also it is sending big tsunami waves which that is not good for it either.
~Charles P Freudemann~
My thoughts on the earthquake and tsumami that hit are very shocking and disterbed at all the rubble and reckedge left behind. I also can't belive all the nucular radiation left behind in the air and how many people got sick because of it.
Alex Richmond
That was very wow like a week after Selena Gomez comes back from there, is a earthquake haha she is bad luck like foreall it makes me laugh bout that but i feel really bad for everyone that was injured or killed in that tsunami in Japan.
I feel bad for all the people that lived within 20 kilometers from that nuclear plant. I'm glad there safe in everything, it probably cost a lot of money.i wonder how far the nuclear waste will spread.and i wonder if it could spread to the USA.
i think that the damage was really bad. it destroyed all lot of japan and made a nuclear power plant unstable and gave a lot of people radiation sickness.
I couldn't imagine all the pain these people are going through and on how tough this is.If it was me having this happening in my home town I would be so terrified and I just wouldn't know what to do.
I think the tsunami is a terrible disaster people are losing homes plus not only that the earthquake and the nuclear power plant are causing many deaths too. japan is going to take a long time for tit to come back to the way it was before but hopefully its sooner than later.
I think that it is just said hat people had to move out of there homes just because of rdiation. I think that it is not fair for the people who live in japan and it should be fixed by helping the people so they can get back what they have lost. I just think that it is amazing that people that live within 20 kilometers of the nuclear powerplant have had to leave there homes.
What happened to Japan is terrible. But sadly the worse is still not over, the necular powerplants are beginning to melt down and if the residents become infected they have a serious problem. The residents that live in 20 kilometers of the nuclear powerplants are being evacuated and scanned to see if they were exposed with radiation. There has already been 2 meltdowns, and the scientists are trying to cool down the cores with anything,hidrogen water ect. One of the meltdowns was because of over cooling and it caused a fire and an explosion. Japan is going through some hard times and all we can do is hope and pray that everything will endup all right.

In Japan the Tsunami affected many people. People evacuated quickly. Ever since the earthquake, everything has gone downhill. The Tsunami destroyed everything in it's path, and left most people either dead, or hurt. It will definately take Japan a long time to recover. The Radiation Plant is definately going to be one of the biggest problems. One of them exploded and released 3 years worth of collected radiation. Radiation can cause cancer, which would eventually decrease Japan's population. I am curious to see how they will try and solve this massive problem.
@ jarod francis: i agree with you on that green card because i wouldn't live in a country with nuclear waste in the air. i would fly to farthest place possible from the waste.
i think this is horriable but not to horriable because its not a huge problum but its not a super small one either. that many people getting killed is horriable and that it could cause cancers too is awefull i feel really bad for the people that live there.

If I was there I would have thought it was frighting. I feel bad for the people who went through it.I was surprized how big the impact.(huge inpact)
I agree with Anthony:
I agree with him b/c it would be scary if I were in Japan and the radiation from the Nuclear Power-Plant had leaked out and couldn't stop it. Also, the water, soil, and food supply could get very much affected.
I cant imagine what the people must be going through right now. with the radiation leaks people are getting sick.
@ Sara Dirr:
I was going to say we watched that on Channel One. I thought it was interesting how they were testing people. They were using a little circle device to test them. I wonder how exactly that thing works? Does that use radiation to test for radiation? If it does what's the point of even testing anyone?
i feel that Japan has been through alot this past week. tsunami's, eathquakes, aftershocks, and malfunchions of power plants that could be a huge fear for all saftey and sanity of Japan. If i was there. i would feel trumatized.i wouln't know what to do and whare to go because all my belongings would probably be gone or just ruined. I would hope that my family would be okay and i just hope that everyone is still okay and that they find more people in the rubble alive. 8(
I agree with Anthony, Because the damage is really really bad.I think that cincinnati should help Japan.
I could not imagine this to happen in Cincinnati were we would have to evacuate I think it would be hard to adjust to live somewere out of Cincinnati. Plus people would have to be checked out with a device that would check if you were exposed to radioactivity.
@ Xavier Frisch:
I know! I can't even begin to imagine how people are reacting and how this is affecting their life. I wonder where people traveled to when they evacuated
Japan? How can they afford anything? I feel really bad for them and wish I could help. This will probably take years to clean up.
The dammage done in Japan from the quakes is horrible! I feel so bad for the tons of people who lost many family members in the horrible natural disater! I dint know what i would do if that were me in their position. I was thinking about something watching this story on the news last night. We have had an unexpected amount of natural disasters latley. we had the oil spill in the gulf,and now japan. the reason japan is such a big deal is b/c that country is a big place for importing and exporting goods and another reason is the great amount of people that died in this natural disaster. It makes me wonder how many people survived it but are still out there stranded with no place to go
All the damage caused by the nuclear plants is just terible! The first plant blew up and it leaked three years of collected radiation into the ground, that could affect the water supply, also soil and plants could get affected. Now, the radiation is in the air which is affecting people within 30 killometers. Than the second plant blew up. The 2 explostions destpryed 9 nuclear rods.
I would be very scared if i were them the radiation from the power plant can be a catastrophe. first there was an earthquake a Tsunami and then worst of all a nucuealer explosion. Which can effect your brain and make you violent stressed out and dumb.
I believe since the first earthquake occured everything has became worse. The Tsunami destructed everything in it's path. It left people dead and or missing. I think that global warming will increase because of the 3 year naturally occuring radiation was exploded. I think this will have a huge impact on the country and it will take a while to recover.
Radiation leaked at 8,200 microsieverts per hour at the front gate. More than three years of radaition collected leaked out in the first hour. The number 4 reactor is on fire and the number 2 reactor blue up on tuesday. I think at plants like this should have some sort of radiation cover around it.
I am awstruck right now about the situation in Japan. I think another country around them like China should help them out. Im sure Japan would do the same for them.
There has been tons ofpower plants leaking and ending up killing alot of people. There is a good chance of it exploading and killing new borns, teens, children, and adults. The nuclear power plant if it does expload then about 30,000 people will be killed in Japan.

I feal really bad for all the people in japan that were affected by this terrible disaster. everything has just gone down hill from the spot we startes first the earth quake then the tsunami and now all the power plants i just hope this isnt like the new orleans how its taken them over 4 years to get that place back together but the way things look right now its going to take even longer.NATHAN STENGER
to daniel ohearn they cant just move the power plants somewhere safe it would be way to exspensive
NATHAN STENGER
If a 9.0 earthquake was happening were I live, I would be freaking out and I would be scared. Radiation levels reached to 8,200 microsieverts. I would be really sad if my family was either hurt or killed during the earthquake and tsunami.
It is both amazing and devastating at the same time. The radiation has multiplied to 8200 microsieverts an hour. I feel sorry for those that had to leave their homes all because of an earthquake. This is outrageous beyond belief.
What happened in Japan was very terrible, Its sad that over 1000 people had died.
If I were in Japan right now, I would be scared to death.
I feel like I want to help but I dont know how I'm supposed to do that because I am just one 13 year old that cant do anything.
It never accrued to me that that Japan wasn’t affected a lot on the earthquake destroying towns but making the nuclear power plants leaking. It could effect health issues and effect the economy, many well lose their jobs and home’s. Supplies would be cut and people well starve. I hope they can contain the problem soon, or else it could be impossible to contain the waste, more or less stop

I agree with daniel o'hearn they should make the nulear power plants somewhere safe.
@Alexcandra
I agree with the fact of people wanting to escape Japan. It must be scary and hard to leave.
I feel bad for the people in japan. Its sad for the people that live near the nuclear power station. its about 20 kilometers. I wish that we could have the technology to tell us when earthquakes are going to happen. i hate to see this happen to places that people go to vacation on. Now all the food stock is low and everyhting is wiped out. this reminds me of hurricane katrina. Mrs.Martz do you think Japan will get the same treatment as the people in New Orleans did?
that sounds so scarey for the people in the tsunami!! i hope they are ok!! man, it seems like japan is getting all the bad stuff. :( poor them. ha
i think this is very sad all those people had to evacuate their homes because of the nuclear radiation. three years worth of radiation came out in an hour. on the radio i heard the sunami was 13feet tall!!!!!!
I think that this matter is extremely important. Espicesally for the people who were in the "ring" of the plant. this expolision was difrent from the 1 and 3 because they were hydrogen build up. They tried to cool the 2 plant with sea water but tempoarily it doesn't work. The people are now getting tested for radiation because if you have enough radiation you could get some sort of cancer in you body.
the damage that happend was very bad.it blew up and leaked out 3 years of radiatoin that was collected,but is now out and not colcted.their water supply and their plants and soil coul also be contaminated.the radiaton is now in the air and it is affecting them within 30 killometers (19 miles)from them.but when the second one blew up the eople were expecting it because their was a decrease in radiation.the 2 explosions destroyed 9 neuclear rods that once was not in the contaminated started melting and not getting in the ground
Is is just so horrible to see to see that wave of water that went 620 mph and the wave is not stoping and you see the people driving on the high way trying to get away from it you know there dead and its horrible to see it happening right there on TV. and then you have not only the Tsunami but the earthquake did damage to. and with all those people dead you think its over and they can go back and make repairs but no they have a radiation leak now yes RADIATION and it could explode its just bad over there the littlest of good new would life there souls i mean what there witnessiing right now its just i could not think of what there feeling right now its just horrible to see all that happening to one little country. to see that wave come in and take out every house in its path and then it just gets washed back up on the beach. my heat goes with them
Austin Papner
The damage of the nuclear power plants is bad.The first to blow up leaked out 3 years of collected radiationthat is now in the ground(water supply could get affected soil and plants could also get affected). Also that now some pf the radiation is in the air affecting people within 19 miles. The 2nd explosion destroyed 9 nuclear rods.
Andrew Hudson
What happened in Japan is horrible and suprising. I would have never thought that a nuclear power plant would have that much damage from a tsunami and earthquake. Although I dont know that much about tsunamis. I would like to learn more about them in class this year.
-Kaleigh McCarthy
The after effects of the leaking radiation is terrible. I think it is not far that those pepole who live within 12 miles had to leave. Also the pepole who live 19 miles within the plant have to stay inside that isnt far to the kids who want to play outside. I personaly werid that the leak can get into the water supply and comtaminate the water. Its scary to think that 3 years of radiation started to leak. I hope that there is a way to clen up the radiation before it gets to out of hand.
To: Madison Dorrington,
I had no idea you could get cancer from radiation! I wonder what is in the radiation that causes cancer? What are your thoughts about this?
-Kaleigh McCarthy
I think this is terrible. The explosion at the nuclear reacters is devestating. I think it is sad that some people have to move because of a blown up nuclear reactor.
I think that ever since the first earthquake that had recently happened, everything has gotten worse. The Tsunami destructed everything in it's path, and left a huge amount of people either dead, or missing.I think that global warming will increase because of the 3 year naturally occuring radiation was exploded. I think this will have a huge impact on the country and it will take a while to recover.
