Nuclear plant chaos http://www.smh.com.au/world/nuclear-plant-chaos-20120724-22n74.html#ixzz21gCDQY2E   Chaotic evacuations after the tsunami struck the Fukushima nuclear power plant left children in areas where radiation was dangerously high while causing unnecessary deaths among patients hastily removed from hospitals, an inquiry has found.
