[quote:Anonymous Coward 14303964:MV8xODM1ODM4XzMwNTkzMDI5X0JDQzMyNkEw] [quote:Vlad Tepes:MV8xODM1ODM4XzYyMURBOTMw] Do you remember during the months after the nuclear disaster many people were looking at the TEPCO webcam and saying... "look at those plants and trees close to the reactors. They're doing fine, don't seem affected by radiation." Well take a look at them now: http://www.tepco.co.jp/nu/f1-np/camera/ DEAD [/quote] Don't forget that the whole area was exposed to extensive foot and vehicle traffic, not to mention ruptured fuel and chemical tanks. And firefighting chemicals. And who knows what other chemicals in their efforts to make the area less radioactive. And the area was likely inundated by saltwater from the tsunami. It's no wonder the vegetation is doing crappy. It's even possible they killed it off themselves to keep the ground-cover down so that the area is more navigable. Kind of a small sample area to judge the health of the local flora and fauna. [/quote]
