Restoration at Nuke Disrupted, Radiation Fears in Tokyo

Efforts to restore cooling functions at a Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was stopped on Wednesday due to smoke being seen rising from the plant.  It's said the smoke has decreased but radiation fears in Tokyo remain pretty high as officials warn not to give babies in Tokyo tap water, and Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano "urged residents of areas under the wind from the plant to stay indoors and avoid exposure to air as much as possible as a precaution, while official advisories are for people within a 20-kilometer radius to evacuate and within 20 km to 30 km to stay indoors."

In the meantime, this cartoon concerning nuclear power plants pooping all over the place helps explain to kids what's going on.
