    Radiation leaks from SZ Nuclear Power Plant?!

    Now its on Bloomberg
    China Nuclear Plant’s ‘Very Small Leakage’ Contained, CLP Says - Bloomberg.com

    From RTHK English Radio news this morning:
    ""very small leakage" at a fuel rod at the Guangdong Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station....on the May 23"
    The power plant is some 50KM northeast of HK.

    Radio Free Asia first reported the incident last night and painted it as a significant incident w/ wholelotta cross-boarder inept governments coverups.
    China

    HKGovt plays down the threat to the population. HK Observatory reports no rise on top of background radiation.

    I wonder if local pharmacy carries potassium iodine for thyroid protection over radioactive material. Better go check over lunch

    It's not the little leaks we have to worry about. The fact it's on a fault line is.

    Donalds Tsang will be alright.

    I remember having to advise someone that was building control network for the Goverment which would be used if there was Nuclear attack or leakage. Well that was many years ago, so we have nothing to worry about now a days.

    I'm watching the new government HQ being built and it it clearly has a bunker in the basement. The steel rods on the ceilings have separations of 1 or 2 inches in the basement floors. The walls are extremely thick too.

    And you could be at more risk from radiation if you're an American in the US with good health insurance.

    Americans get most radiation from medical scans - Yahoo! News

    Everybody panic!
