Dear all, please take a moment to think about the terrible tragedy which has unfolded this afternoon in Japan and spare a thought for any members, their families, or any people who have been affected by this terrible event.

I, on behalf of Subyclub hope that people are safe and out of harms way and are able to rebuild their lives as quickly as possible.

Please spare a thought today for these people.

Regards
Paul

Such a sad day!

"Radiation levels 1000 times normal

A Japanese nuclear safety panel says radiation levels are 1000 times above normal in a reactor control room after a huge quake damaged a plant's cooling system.

Public broadcaster NHK, quoting nuclear safety officials, said there was "no immediate health hazard" to nearby residents from a possible minute leakage, and people were urged to evacuate the area calmly.

The elevated reading was taken in the control room of the No.1 reactor of the Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant, said the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

Kyodo News said that the discovery suggested radioactive steam could spread around the facility, which is located about 250km northeast of Tokyo and operated by Tokyo Electric Power.

Prime Minister Naoto Kan said early on Saturday that residents living within 10km of the plant must evacuate, before stepping onto a helicopter to head for the area.

His government yesterday declared an atomic emergency and told thousands of residents living within a smaller radius of three kilometres, to evacuate, warning a small amount of radiation could be released.

More than eight million homes lost power, mobile and landline phone systems broke down for many and gas was cut to more than 300,000 homes, meaning many people could not heat their dark homes during a terrifying and cold night"

Just spoke to Andy and was happy to hear all of his wifes family are ok.

It just keeps getting worse. I was thinking about going to Japan soon for a holiday sometime.

That wasn't a nuclear explosion... but no info on the damage has been released yet, other than that they keep expanding the evacuation radius. Pretty serious, to me it looks like it blew its roof off from the steam pressure.
