Japan Nuclear Situation Worsens With Fire at Fourth Reactor; Stock Market Plummets to Record Lows

[Nathanael]

The nuclear fallout from the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and ensuing tsunami that rocked Japan on Friday continues to escalate. After a third reactor explosion occurred early Tuesday morning at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, a fourth reactor started on fire causing more radioactive material to be released.

Radioactive material has now leaked from four reactors, leading the government to issue a warning to the remaining 140,000 people in the surrounding area to stay indoors and not open any windows or vents. 70,000 people have already been evacuated from within a 20 kilometer radius from the plant.
