SERIOUSLY WTF!!!!! they're one of the richest countries on the planet, what good is a sack of money on a table gunna do? its not gunna be out there digging people out of rubble is it?
What we should be doing is mobilising rescue teams with as much man power as possible to go and help in the rescue efforts, sending life rafts, helicopters to help in search and rescue,....
Is this what the world has come to? oh your in trouble, here's so money now we look good and can sit back whilst you struggle one?
this world is pathetic

Many of us would like to get our hands dirty, but cant simply drop our own lives to go and help. They may be an extremely rich country, but wealth doesn't always get spread evenly. There will be some people who's lives this has destroyed who wont get back everything (or anything) from their government.
I for one would trust a charity organisation set up to help the people of Japan, to utilise the money they receive effectively on rescue efforts and restoring peoples homes and lives, more than I would the Japanese government.
Thats just me though...
I don't think that's how we're thinking mate (at least not on this forum).

i feel as you do, if i could go help i would,
but you see it time and time again, haiti especially, as soon as theres a disaster we plow millions towards them, and yet look at them? living in shantee's tents, dying of cholora, civil un-rest etc.
we always do it wrong, we should man send man power first to clear up, then money to rebuild
by sending money first it gets "lost" within the government's, council's and indeed some "charities"
which is why we see places never recover from disaster
I have full hope that as strange and twisted as japan has often showed itself to be, by looking after it's people it keeps it's global status of richness and power.
without it's people it is nothing

Phil01 I would go out there tomorrow and offer man power to help in any way, If only I had the means and the money to get out there.
I'm the same, and there may be an outside chance if theyve asked the americans for help with the nuclear issues they may ask the UK as well.
I'm team leader of a Standby Emergency response team at work so have some skills to help.
We train for "incidents" throughout the year but i think there will be a step up after this.

The plants as far as i can tell will never work again. But the levels of radiation their talking about that are spreading are most likely very little in the main.
For example someone living in Cornwall will get a bigger radiation dose per year than me working at the Nuclear power plant. Same as someone flying across the Atlantic a couple of times a year.
Obviously next to the station they may be higher, but i think its more a case of radiation that will decay away quickly rather than contamination that will stay and settle.

01-02-2019, 09:57 AM #29well firstly i dont believe there will be a "nuclear explosion" certainly not on the scale of Chernobyl (A design that would never have been approved outside of the USSR), and certainly nothing like an A bomb.
