There was only a brief mention of this on CNN.
I wouldn't be surprised if it escalates into a Chernobyl.

Reuters updated it to 9 now.
It might be changed to 160
Also I read if any, and all radiation does get dispersed, it would be all over the Pacific. They didn't say in which direction :/

Those 160 must be firefighters/engineers working in the plant...

I checked the Chernobyl reactor that went kaboom was

running at a low power, between >700 MW & 800 MW
, while the damaged reactor in Japan is 460 MW. What is interesting they were planing to build two more reactors before the end of the decade.

I've kept my Softbank mobile with me, and I've received a few phonecalls / messages on it, but because it's running on an overseas provider, the service Softbank users in Japan are getting is probably completely different.
Keeping everything crossed for everyone out there.

There's a word that sums up this sort of behaviour, and that word is 'reject.'
