  Wow, I know nothing about nuclear plants and the fail safe's they have built in, but that looks like a scarily powerful explosion.

    NHK is saying it's another blast like Fukushima Daiichi #1 on Saturday/Sunday - Hydrogen collecting in the reactor building because of the fuel cladding burning and then being vented with the steam to reduce pressure.. according to the authorities so far, the reactor containment was undamaged and workers in the area are to remain indoors.

    Wow, I know nothing about computers or hacker ethos, but the name "Hacker News" sounds scarily powerful. Do we really want to keep these computer criminals up to date?

    I don't think it's that big. It has no visible effect on the nearby buildings (the towers).
