Atomised information fuels a media meltdown Nuclear power is scary stuff for most people. The mere mention of it conjures images of Chernobyl, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And this week, those images have been brought back to the fore with the events that are unfolding at the Fukushima Daiici nuclear power plant in Japan. But as someone with a background in science I groan at the hyperbole of some of the speculation and misinformation being spread by the mainstream and social media. Kevin, um, it seems, ah, we (shuffle) sort of, ah, owe you an apology Okay: I'll be the first to say it. Sorry, Kevin. After all the fuss about the Foreign Minister imperiously demanding nuclear updates, it's now pretty clear that he was right to do so. After all the intrigue about Kevin's obsession with establishing a no-fly zone over Benghazi, it might now be time to admit the possibility that it was the Foreign Minister who was right all along. Laying down the law in Lake Tyers It's an action which is quietly sending shudders through government circles: what to do about an extraordinary and unprecedented political protest in a tiny Indigenous community in Victoria's East Gippsland. Immigration in meltdown: and no plan B Immigration Minister Chris Bowen has many critics but he must be given his due. He has made the best of circumstances where he had no say in choosing the ground on which he would fight. He has toiled resolutely and patiently at it, made some good changes and fronted up to tough choices. Even so, there is every sign that the immigration detention centre system is coming apart at the seams.

By Jesus Diaz The Definitive Japan Crisis Timeline This content is restricted. It's been seven days in hell. Here is the timeline to the crisis caused by the 9.0 magnitude earthquake in Japan—constantly updated. It includes all the news and features ordered chronologically, as well as the latest videos and images. Keep reading... Reactors | Japan raises nuclear alert level to 5, may have to bury reactors in sand and concrete. Reactors | Think tank says pouring water on reactor 4 may be effective. Food | Government orders radioactivity tests for all foods. Reactors | Military helicopters finally dump seawater on over-heating reactors. Electronics | Earthquake aftermath may cause iPad 2 supply issues. Internet | US Military bans YouTube, Amazon and 11 other websites to free up bandwidth for Japan crisis. People | A Japanese student in the U.S. finds out her family is safe via YouTube. People | How Japanese are explaining the nuclear crisis to kids. 14:46-14:51 Japan Standard Time (GMT+9) • A magnitude 9.0 earthquake strikes near the northeast coast of Japan at a depth of 15.2 miles. The epicenter is 231 miles from Tokyo. It's the fifth largest quake ever recorded and the largest ever to hit Japan. • Tsunami alert through the Pacific. • Fukushima Daiichi reactors start emergency shut down and cooling operations. 15:12 JST • 6.8 m (22 ft) Tsunami hits the first Japanese city of Iwate Kamaishi-oki. 15:15 JST • 7.4 magnitude aftershock hits Japan. • Tsunami starts reaching other Japanese towns: Ofunato and following with Ishinomaki-shi Ayukawa, Kamaishi, Miyako, Erimo-cho Shoya, Soma. Here's a terrifying video recorded at street level in Kesennuma, showing the water taking cars, ships and entire buildings away. 16:45 JST • Diesel generators supporting the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant emergency refrigeration systems shut down after tsunami hits. 19:49 JST • NHK releases video of a giant whirlpool off the Japanese coast. 20:15 JST • Japanese government declares first emergency at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. 21:34 JST • Tokyo Electric Power Company confirms that reactor water levels are falling following the failure of the diesel generators. • TEPCO tries to avert fuel rod exposure by restoring power to its emergency power system and pumping water inside the reactors. • Four nuclear plants near the earthquake's epicenter are shut down. 22:48 JST • First official casualty number revealed: Police reports 200 to 300 bodies in Sendai. 60,000 to 70,000 city residents are evacuated to shelters. • All cooling systems at Fukushima nuclear report are reported not working. Authorities say they are "bracing for the worst." • The tip of the Tokyo Tower is bent. 23:53 JST • A fire at the Onagawa nuclear plant is extinguished with no further consequences. 00:40 JST • United States start sending help to Japan. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says the United States has transported coolant to Fukushima. • As if the tsunami weren't enough, a damn dam breaks in Fukushima prefecture, washing away scores of homes. 09:00 JST • Evacuation because of nuclear risk begins: Residents within 10 kilometers are being evacuated out of area. • People within three kilometers are examined for contamination. • TEPCO prepares controlled release of steam to lower the pressure of reactor 1 and avoid explosions. 06:45 JST • Radiation spikes to 1,000 times the normal level in the reactor 1 control room. 15:40 JST First explosion happens at Fukushima Daiichi. The reactor 3 suffers a major blast caused by hydrogen gas injuring four people and blowing the roof of the external containment structure on reactor 1. Radioactive leak reported. • Evacuation zone increases from 10km to 20km (12 miles). • Iodine tablets distribution—to counteract the radiation exposure—begins. 03:20 JST • Three people (selected at random out of 90) test positive for radiation exposure in Fukushima prefecture. 05:15 JST • USS Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group, from the US Navy Seventh Fleet, arrives to the east coast of Honshu, sends several H-60 helicopters to rescue people and deliver supplies. • 18 hours later, US Navy repositions ships after detecting radioactive winds—sailors receive one month of radiation in one day. 07:00 JST • At this point, 185,000 residents have been evacuated from the area surrounding the Fukushima power plant. 21:35 JST • The radiation levels at the front gate of the power plant were found to be 760 microsieverts at 21:35; 3,130 microsieverts at 21:37; and back to 400 microsieverts by 22:15 as radioactive particles start to dissipate. 07:00 JST • Radioactivity now detected as far as Yokosuka, a few kilometers south of Tokyo. 11:15 JST A second explosion—felt 25 miles from the Fukushima nuclear plant—destroys the outer building of reactor 3. • Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano says that they think the strong blast hasn't damaged the inner containment vessel but they can't check it out because of the very high temperatures in the building. • Seven employees are initially missing. • The Tokyo Power Company later says that six people are injured. 21:00 JST • Fuel rods in reactor 2 are now fully exposed after total loss of water in the inner containment vessel. At this point, they start injecting sea water. 23:20 JST • Fuel rods are exposed again after water stops flowing because of a human error: Someone accidentally turns off the air flow gauge, which stops the sea water from getting inside the unit. "> 06:00 JST • Fire starts in reactor 4, in the spent fuel pond. 06:14 JST • An explosion is heard on reactor 2. Potential damage to the pressure-suppression system at containment vessel's bottom. • Radiation levels go beyond legal limit. • All workers except a group of 50 are evacuated from the plant. They are mostly retired workers who have less chance of developing cancer over time. 12:00 JST • Fire in reactor 4's spent fuel pool is extinguished. According to the IAEA, the fire has released "radioactivity directly into the atmosphere." • Water in the the reactor 4 fuel pool is boiling. 05:45 JST • Fire reported in the reactor 4 building. • TEPCO says that it's possible that that rods could reach critical mass and start a chain reaction that would release massive radiation to the atmosphere. • Chernobyl veteran Iouli Andreev slams the Japanese government, TEPCO and the IAEA for their bad practices. 08:30 JST • 70% nuclear rods are damaged on reactor 1; 33% are damaged on reactor 2. Japanese government believes that there has been a partial meltdown in the cores. 10:01 JST • White radioactive smoke starts venting from Reactor 3 inner containment unit. • One hour later, radiation level increases sharply to 3391 microsievert per hour. • 30 minutes later, TEPCO fears a nuclear vessel breach and all workers evacuated from reactor buildings, but not from plant grounds-they return almost one hour later. 04:00 JST United States, Britain and other governments around the world expand the evacuation zone beyond Japan's own: 80km (50 miles) from Fukushima nuclear plant. • Adding to the alarms sounded by the European Union and the French nuclear agency, US Nuclear Regulatory Commissioner Gregory Jaczko expresses deep concern as radiation reaches lethal levels due to the reactor 4's pool. 09:48 JST • Military helicopters begin to spray sea water on the reactors. • Electronic industry analysts say the disaster will likely affect consumer electronic manufacturing, including the iPad 2. 16:00 JST • Radiation levels begin to drop sightly. Edano says that it is now 1.5 millisieverts per hour at the gate and says smoke is not escaping from the reactor 3's containment vessel but its storage pool. 20:09 JST • 30 tons of water have been sprayed on reactor 3 using water cannons. 04:33 JST • Reactor number 2 is now connected to the external power grid. This opens the possibility for the Emergency Core Cooling System and Residual Heat Removal pumps to resume operations. 18:40 JST • IAEA raises nuclear event alert level to 5. Not all donations reach Japan. Here's a list of charities that actually do. Share this:
