The General Electric Nuclear Plant in Fukushima is Still a Threat

Oregon Senator Ron Wyden recently returned from a tour of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan and has called for swift international action to prevent further radioactive fallout.

This would cause in a high-level radioactive waste fire that would dwarf the scale of the original disaster and make huge tracts of Japan uninhabitable.
