1. A race at Suzuka would be kick ass
2. After the beating he's taken this year, I don't doubt he wants one less race
3. He doesn't race for a Japanese manufacturer, so does he care if he pisses them off?

Yeah, but then you'd get lapped your first lap.

I think the radiation is minimal, but the Japs love to hide shit.

Not sure what the levels are now, but these reports were late June I think.

Quote:
Recent readings taken roughly 19 miles out to sea from the Fukushima nuclear power facility in Japan have revealed radioisotope levels ten times higher than those measured in the Baltic and Black Seas after the massive Chernobyl disaster. Because Fukushima is much closer to water than the Chernobyl plant is, the ongoing fallout there is shaping up to be far worse than Chernobyl. "Given that the Fukushima nuclear power plant is on the ocean, and with leaks and runoff directly to the ocean, the impacts on the ocean will exceed those of Chernobyl, which was hundreds of miles from any sea.
Quote:
In contrast, distinguished nuclear expert Helen Caldicott called Fukushima an unprecedented "absolute disaster," multiples worse than Chernobyl. Only one (Chernobyl) reactor blew, and it was only three months old with relatively little radiation. (Fukushima's) have been operating for 40 years, and would hold about 30 times more radiation than Chernobyl.
Quote:
"Dangerous levels of radioactive iodine and cesium have already contaminated the sea, the soil, groundwater, and the air. This week plutonium was detected for the first time outside the stricken plant, and Strontium-90, known as a bone seeker because it can cause bone cancer and Leukemia, has now been found as far away as 60 kilometers (37+ miles) from the facility.
Fuck that shit. Trip, I know you are all knowledgable and versed in this stuff, but thats scary.

According to these levels, give me a plane ticket and a ride and I would have no issue going. Suzuka is fine, it's well away.

It's unclear just how bad this is going to be, any nuclear accident is bad that's for sure. It's different than Chernobyl though. Chernobyl blew their reactor all over the countryside. This never happened in Japan, they blew up the top of the buildings, not the vessels. The reactor vessel is completely different, it didn't explode the fuel all over the countryside like Chernobyl. The fuel melt and vessel integrity needs to be examined first.

What was the word used... it wasn't a melt down, it was a melt through?? It was melting through the concrete into the ground, or something?

They melted the fuel for sure that's a melt down no matter what they say and they think they may have a vessel leak on 3 because some workers stepped in water that was incredibly highly radiated.

TMI melted a ton of fuel as well.

Seems like there's no good way to judge what's really going on down there until you either do or don't get cancer in a few years. Fuck that, I wouldn't go either.
