Reactor reaction wipes $1.5bn from uranium holdings

MORE than $1.5 billion was wiped off the value of uranium stocks yesterday as the market reacted savagely to the nuclear crisis unfolding in Japan.

As explosions rocked Japan's ailing Fukushima nuclear plant, the market seemed convinced the incident would harm ambitions for uranium to play a bigger role in energy production around the world.

folks, this is not a drill


should I quit, cash out my retirement and tart running tomorrow? It looks like serious radiation is likely to be headed right at me withing a few days.

I didn't know you were there! My heart goes to you.
TBH, I would. Is it worth it to wait? This isn't about panic, it's about valuing the life you have been given. the LIFE, not the trapping of a life. How will you trust the food you eat from now on? The air you breath or water you drink?

Detroit might not be a bad idea, but I'd prefer somewhere that didn't have such cold winters.

absolutely you can get a ride, but for now the plan would be a greyhound bus. unless things get fucked up enough to justify stealing the last of the mark 4 interceptors. (mad max's car)

From what I can see the benefits of Detroit would outweigh the cold winters.
It's kind of the 'new frontier' for the 21st century.

I found a site with about 12 good smiles I ganked a bit ago, they'll get added eventually, fukoshima willing.

true that, but I'd consider there to be a fairly significant self-defense challenge there, but if we had a hundered or two people and took over a few large blocks it might be do-able

south of the equator would be ideal.

NHK now admiring spent fuel getting hot. hot enough to generate hydrogen. the hydrogen blast at 4 put out the fire, at least briefly. some official said, "fuel rods don't ignite on their own" well, I suppose it does take oxygen too. wherever would they find that?

also talk of: "US military team engaged and extinguished fire"

maybe true.

another maybe:
"US Military has arrived and is taking control of situation. They MAY save things. They may all die. its a bit late. "

Nice but they look dazed by radiation burns - what are those little green things? - rather than angry enough to burn the palace down if you see what I'm saying....

You can buy a house for a dollar in Detroit right now, true
