    If it blows out, it may flow to Hawaii and the US west coast where my family is. So yes, I hope it is contained within Japan. I believe flowing out might also cause it to drift to the Philippines, while flowing in cover Japan and hopefully all the existing pollution would keep it from flowing to Korea and China.

    Tunji's point of the impact on the sea life is important. I wonder what happens if/when radiation fallout enters the ocean waters? Personally, I eat sashimi when I can get it here and in Makati, I know some of the places in Makati get their fish from Japan.
