I wonder what was the composition of the transformer oil?

Dioxin, of course.
400 tons of fish reportedly died upstream of the dam.
They got lucky.

Any word when the decontamination volunteers will arrive?
Was there much radioactive debris ejected? How high?
Are India, the Mideast and Africa prepared for the fallout?
Will the Russians be able to contain the down-river waste or
are we looking at the loss of 5000 square miles for the next
40 thousand years? What about the site itself? Will they
be able to shield the hot core? How much lead and concrete
will be needed?

Um, excuse me a second.

(A dam? Like with water? Are you sure?)

Never mind.
