Emergency in Japan³

Well, it's the first day of March break!
Shops and stores are open, and I'm looking forward to a brunch! Here in central Ontario the sky is blue and sunny, the air is even warm(ish)
However around the world in Japan the chance of brunch is pretty much nil. Shops and stores? Nope, not open. Most aren't even standing. And the atmosphere? Well how do you feel about radiation?
After the earthquake on March 11th the Fukushima Nuclear Power plant was having electrical difuculties which caused issues in cooling certain pumps. 180, 000 citizens were evacuated from the area (aprox 10km) barely before an explosion on the 12th where 160 people are said to have come in contact with the radiation, but 1500 have been scaned. A few plant wokers were killed in the exposion adding to the toll of 15,000 from the previous two disasters.
Yesterday a second unit was found to have a failure in it's cooling system, and this lead to another explosion that literally blew the roof off. Seventeen U.S military personnel were on their way in a helicopter to assist, when another reactor exploded. All of them were exposed to the radiation, but are said to have been de-contaminated and are doing fine
However another earthquake with a magnitude of seven, is expected to strike the region within the next few days
