212 thank you. It makes for some grim reading though.

I know these are rare occurrences but .. why the heck don't the national aviation authorities insist (perhaps urged by a UN body) on a prescribed radius surrounding leaking (or suspected leaking) reactors within which all persons must don protective clothing (how effective is this protective clothing in any case?). This does seem like an ideal task for UAV's or even remotely-piloted aircraft.

Sad stuff. Let's hope the chaps in Japan will pull through.
