Nuclear Update with Young Einsteins Thrown In

"The Dragon is still loose" pretty much sums up the Japanese conundrum at the moment.  Meltdown through the containment vessel has been speculated about, and seems likely.  Still not as bad as The Russian disaster as that was a fire spewing the radiation over broad areas in the ash and smoke as there was no containment vessel at all!  What would a Russian Godzilla look like?
Here's how Japan explains what happened to its schoolchildren!
It's one helluva belly ache!

Which brings up the point of the safety of newer reactors (the Japanese plant was 30 years old).  Reactors that are 100% meltdown-proof are already under development.

And for Green Activists, nuclear energy is still the best way to lower CO2 emissions enough to make any difference at all, while maintaining energy production at suitable levels.

And here's a 12 year old snot-nosed kid * (beware, link to Glenn Beck's Blaze Web Site although right wing propaganda is absent) challenging Einstein's Theory of Relativity, The Big Bang Theory, and teaching college courses.  Show-off! 

*The photo is of a youthful Albert Einstein, however.
