Malcador Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Fukushima did experience a meltdown Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDeranged Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 As far as I know, when the accident at Chernobyl happened most of Europe temporarily banned milk and other farm products, in fact there is still contamination to this day, why haven't Japan or the rest of Asia done something similar?

Zoraptor Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Japan has/ had banned milk and farm produce from around the area. I'm not sure if it is still in effect now. But a 'simple' meltdown isn't in quite the same league as what happened at Chernobyl in terms of radiation release. IIRC there was a meltdown at 3 mile island too and they only discovered it when they got around to dismantling the reactor years after the accident as it had very little actual effect beyond melting the fuel.

Gorgon Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 The psychological effect is not to be underestimated. Who would buy irradiated food, even if the levels are entirely insignificant. No one.

Zoraptor Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 A lot of people do eat irradiated food, as irradiation is a fairly frequently used and very reliable preservation process. Albeit they don't do it by sticking it next to a compromised nuclear reactor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
