Experts are going to Japan.
Noriyuki Shikata, Deputy Cabinet Secretary for Public Relations and Director of Global Communications at Prime Minister's Office of Japan, tweeted this morning that the Japanese Government is planning to receive a team of experts from the IAEA, and on March 15, eight experts of the U.S. NRC.
"They will give technical advice to respond to Fukushima I," said Shikata. "In our utmost efforts to resolve the situation of Fukushima Daiichi, Japanese Government will closely collaborate with these U.S. experts. Japan truly appreciates the U.S. assistance of dispatching nuclear experts to Fukushima in addition to help by US Forces in Japan and USAID."
At worst, Trudy, there could be a swath of land that's contaminated with radioactive particles and it would take a lot of work to clean up. The problem is that there are some long-lived isotopes you wouldn't want to live with for years or, in particular, ingest. I don't want to downplay the magnitude of the potential problem, but the "we're all going to die" scenario coming from some media is not helping.
My boss doesn't fully seem to understand what going home sick entails, but I'm going to go lie down in my car and then go home.
