nuclear reactor

[snowym]

The last nuclear reactor in Fukushima did have a big explosion last night. People within 30km or so were told to stay indoors, to avoid exposure. I live over 200km from that area, though, so it's okay here for now.

Nuclear reactor problems? What kind of problems are those? It's difficult for my brain to understand what that would even entail

Take care. My thoughts are with you so hard.

I have to say I'm very relieved that you are posting regularly, so we know what's up with you <3

The news channels over here are a bit confusing regarding what now really happened and what not. A nuclear meltdown is the worst-case scenario...
But I don't have enough chemical knowledge to properly explain it :/

Take care!

(I usually use atleastiamanerd.com cuz it's easy to remember and redirects there)
