To say it will wipe out all life in the northern hemisphere is a little bit of a stretch. It will *poison* all life in the northern hemisphere to varying degrees, give us cancer, etc.
It's a bad situation, but a non-Doom, because the moment that scenario happens, they'll just nuke the site.
Quoting: CleverMoniker 12168657 I disagree. It will poison your ground and ground water, poison your food chain, for generations in the northern hemisphere. Cause massive tumours, leukaemias, cancers of all sorts. Horrifically unimaginable birth defects, or kids born with existing cancers. Only thing is, this is not a quick death... but a slow build up and a lingering painful one. I am in the southern hemisphere, but there is not one place in this world that will not be affected by this. You can disagree all you want, but the massive dose of radiation let lose by these rods is not an event that suddenly happens then it's over. The problem they are talking about is that they will all ignite, and the fire would continue to burn for years, unleashing a steady stream of radiation into the atmosphere that would build up, and build up, and build up, because they would never be able to get near the fire to stop it. Except if they nuke the site, it would vaporize everything. It would be significantly more radiological than a standard open-air nuke detonation, but it would destroy the rods, and would instantly replace decades of high-level radiation with one single burst of good old fashioned nuclear bomb radiation. Doom averted. Not so much for the Japanese, though. I'm no nuke expert, but I know enough to know you have to have what's called a "critical mass" of plutonium or uranium to initiate a nuclear detonation. Setting off a nuke over fukushima would not "burn up" the radioactive fuel rods in a nuclear explosion, if that is what you are implying. It would turn it into fine dust and spread it around the world as the worst nuclear fallout you can imagine.
