1. It's bottled water AND a night light! |

I'm sure that the Right Wing will drink it to prove all our fears are unfounded.

2. The entire island of Honshu |
|
is only 228,000 sq km. The Chernobyl contamination zone was approx 150,000 sq km.
We are watching a slow moving Chernobyl disaster that will affect a region that might comprise 1/5 to 1/3 of the entire main island of Japan (allowing for the prevailing winds which have been unfavorable over the last week) for decades.
Huge areas surrounding the Fukushima site, and many even more distant areas, will become unusable and potentially uninhabitable for decades.
I think you can kiss all the land for 50 km radius from the site goodbye already, and possibly much much more.
