Hello.
I'm sure all of you have heard about the earthquake in Japan. 8.9 in the Richter scale, it happened offshore and lasted for about 20 minutes. After that, a tsunami formed, which was over 10 metres high. Also, the Fukushima nuclear power plant had a breakdown because of the earthquake and the tsunami, causing the uranium rods that cause the nuclear reaction to overheat and a few cracks are discovered in the primary containment unit of the rods.
In short, there are a few cracks in the container that holds the radioactive material and the government is afraid that there will be a leak of radioactive material. Sounds bad, huh. Another thing that will make it bad, is that the radiation from the nuclear plant has already reached Tokyo.
So anyone living in South East Asia, please be careful. Do not go outside as the radiation particles can travel through the wind and end up in countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, etc. Try to not go out that much and protect your thyroid gland by covering your throat if possible.
Just a warning for all of you out there.
