            Chenonceau:
            If there is nuclear meltdown, will the radiation reach Singapore? Anyone knows?

            Control rods are all inserted in the 4 reactors. It is very unlikely there will be major leakage. Don't scare yourself.

                i would think it’s too far to reach us… but who knows… wind blows? but the radiation if reach spore will not be high… but jst keep our finger crossed. Hope for the best !


                It’s sad to see what happen to Japanese. such a calm and serene country/people and this happened.

                    Stay indoors if possible.

                      Hope you are right.


                      The control rods stopped the nuclear fusion but if there is a meltdown in a reactor , ( in case the sea water cooling doesnt work as planned) then there is still a big risk, isnt it?

                      :?
