100 kms radius evacuation will indeed cover most of Toronto and the GTA
North York to Pickering is 30 kms
Mississauga to Pickering is 63 kms |
How many ppl within 100kms of that plant vs how many ppl within 100kms of Pickering??
Try to guess... |

No matter, if you there is a evacuation .. you have no choice.
I was thinking of what route and direction to take, if we had to that.
Bike might be a good choice maybe ... |

TOKYO (Dow Jones)--Japan Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said Sunday that the problems with abnormal pressures and radiation levels at the stricken Daiichi nuclear power plant in Fukushima prefecture are "not deteriorating" and that they are continuing with the plan to pump water into the No. 1 reactor that was hit by an explosion on Saturday.
However, Edano said that the No. 3 reactor at the Daiichi facility was not having external water injected into the container and that slightly radioactive steam was being released to avoid a dangerous buildup in pressure. Earlier, officials from Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said that the No. 3 unit had lost its cooling functions.
Japanese authorities have been struggling to contain the reactors at the facility since a massive earthquake on Friday knocked out power for the cooling system and emergency generators were flooded by water from a tsunami that followed the quake.
Edano said that there were no risks to the general public from the release of radioactive steam. However, he acknowledged that nine people have been affected by radiation coming from the plant. |

My point is that I don't think they would evacuate more than 4 million people for something like this... |

You don't think they'd at least try to evacuate the city of Toronto if there was a radiation leak at a nearby reactor? Granted, it seems like we don't know exactly how bad it is, but it seems like the number of people who have been diagnosed with radiation poisoning already seems to be rising very quickly. |
