Please don't mix Canada in your fights with ppl here.... we are very heartfelt people and I'm sad to see that you think like that of us :(
First, we never experienced REAL earthquakes or natural disasters here or anything like that and yes, I do really feel lucky about that. We, from Québec and most parts of Canada, are the first to reach out to the world when in need...
Don't judge a whole nation by one person speaking. We are a peaceful country...

And, by the way, is this guy even a Canadian ? O.o

And, Umbrion, hockey is 80% USA teams, but 90% canadian money, thanks to Bettman. But I' m off topic, I know. Just wanted to say. So theorically, yes, shutting down hockey in Canada will be a major disaster for that sport. She had a very good point considering it strickly on the economical side of it.... all the money incomes are from Canadian teams.

Stating they've achieved cold shutdown of all 4 reactors. Now to focus on the containment issues, and hopefully things will turn around soon.

Thanks for quoting my post Marivell...was beginning to wonder if anyone noticed there was some POSITIVE NEWS on the situation there....

lol not only did I quote it, but I even looked at the reactors status.... seems they got the control back....

Do you happen to have news about the breech in the #4 reactor's roof? I don't see any mention of it on their webpage :/

Not a lot of info just yet. They held a conference and said they were going with it being a hydrogen explosion. News reports that the fire is no longer visible, so I guess they have it under control now. Stinks having to wait for the English translations to come out.

Edit: there's a site frrom the UK that's keeping a pretty up-to-date account of what's been going on, including tweets from JP officials involved, if you want to follow it:

Think about it.... I have to wait for the french translations here -_- and bad ones, too. We don't have a lot of specialists, here, we only have two nuclear plants so.... most of our energy is hydroelectricity, so I'm not very familiar with that kind of situation.

I guess we now have to wait for another press release, then :)

Actually, the reactors they are refering to that have been safely shut down are at the Fukushima Daini Power Station. They are not the ones that were of the biggest concern. The problems are coming from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Power Station, which are still causing big problems.

I may have missed something in that link, but I saw very little about Fukushima Dai-ichi.

ahh.. good catch.. didn't spot the number differences at the end of the names. just assumed they would be posting about the more important ones, seeing how they've been releasing pressers every 2 or 3 hours all day.
