Radioactive Water Found In Two Reactor Buildings 442
RedEaredSlider writes "Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said it detected several kinds of radioactive material in the water on the floor of reactor buildings at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The isotopes found in the water were cobalt-76, technetium-99, silver-108, iodine-131, iodine-134, four isotopes of cesium, barium-140 and lanthanum-140. All have half-lives measured in hours or days, with the exception of cesium-137."
Have any of the workers developed superpowers? (Score:5, Funny)
You can keep your sieverts. I prefer to measure radiation by the level of socially-isolating, mutated superpowers that it produces. Are any of the plant workers brooding yet, or developing secret identities, or lamenting how society has shunned them, or experiencing montage sequences where they learn how to use their new powers?

I propose a different measurement: How many Godzilla's will this produce?
And not the 1998, Matthew-Broderick-starring Godzilla either, because, let's face it... that Godzilla sucked.

No, you're interested in news reinforcing your subjective opinion; just like everybody else.
I'm interested in hearing news that reinforces my opinion that I don't like reinforcing my opinions. It's hard to find, though.

I would say the best way to contain the threat is to not go fishing in the reactor building.
