Fukushima: (2011?): Dead: zero, injured: zero.

Hey, four guys died trying to put out a fire there. Just sayin' like...


no they didnt.

My mistake. 3rd April "TEPCO confirms the first deaths at the Fukushima
facility, two workers who had been missing since 11 March and appear to
have died in the basement of reactor 4 from bleeding due to multiple
injuries inflicted by the tsunami"

Could've sworn all the news services carried a story about four guys
that were killed in a steam explosion.


quite likleyt there were so many lies spread that what's one more?

I think one more worker died of a heart attack a few weeks later.


As I recall there were no major fires either.

There have also been two fatal accidents in the USA since 1979, both of
which involved electrocution due to unlabelled or incorrectly labelled
wiring.

ws that in harrys loft?

Chuckle Should've added "In Nuclear installations". From Wikilies:-

"July 15, 1987 Burlington, Kansas, USA Safety inspector dies
from electrocution after contacting a mislabeled wire at Wolf Creek
Nuclear Generating Station."

"March 29, 1988 Burlington, Kansas, USA A worker at the Wolf
Creek Generating Station falls through an unmarked manhole and
electrocutes himself when trying to escape"

Maybe the wolves want their creek back.

Well the point is thatthise are not nuclear related accidents per se.

they just happened to take place in a nuclear planyt.

Like the fire in the french reprocessing facility 'emergency at french
nuclear plant' turns out some idiot dropped a match in a wastebasket or
something miles away from any nuclear materials..
