#1 Perhaps the U.S. would do well to worry about our own nuclear power plants. The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station was supposedly designed to withstand a 7.0 quake because a 6.5 quake was apparently what they felt was the greatest magnitude quake that would occur here. The Northridge quake was a 6.9 and we're always being warned to be prepared for the 8.0. (Everyone but the nuclear power plants apparently).

And take a look at the tsunami protection from the photo at the link...yes, that's fencing above the wall. I feel warm and fuzzy looking at that, don't you?

#2 Harry Reid can go to hell! We need to get the spent rods away from our nuke plants and into the Nevada Waste Facility ASAP!

Reactor #4's fire is H and O burning from a boiling spent rod pit.

#3 The obvious solution for the Euros is to immediately start rolling blackouts, ration petrol, lay off 25% of all workers & evacuate Brussels. Then the Euros can worry about THAT.
