Bad News In Japan

The radiation levels got too high at that reactor complex and all the workers that were trying to cool that hot mess have bailed. I guess the thing to do now is to cover the entire facility in concrete and wait 250 years.

Report I read said it was "unclear" whether the workers had returned.

The US Military is bringing in more pumping equipment and workers are returning to the reactor site. The Emporer will speak soon and try to rally the people.
