There was a nuclear explosion in Fukushima on March

An important video-document on the Fukushima catastrophe: Russia Today interviews Prof. Chrsitopher Busby, Scientific Secretary of the European Commission of Radiation Risks:

Key points:

• There was probably a nuclear explosion in Reactor 3 on March 13 (this was also surely the case in Chernobyl 25 years ago)
• Meltdown is going on
• Fukushima is much worse than Chernobyl for several reasons:
• The USSR moved a lot a faster to contain Chernobyl, keeping it reasonably under control (unlike what is happening at Fukushima)
• Japan is being extremely lax in evacuating the population. A lot more population is at direct risk in Fukushima
• Chernobyl killed some 1.4 million people
• It may not be possible to contain Fukushima like Chernobyl
• Uranium and plutonium has already reached Hawaii and the Marianas

Update (Apr 27):

Arnie Gundersen also thinks that there was a nuclear explosion at reactor no. 3 on March 13:

And in yet another negative development (we have these by the dozen every day, sadly enough), the radiation levels at reactor no. 1 registered yesterday were the highest since the crisis began. No specific reason is known.

Also in Ohio a nuclear reactor had to be evacuated  because of extremely high radiation levels during a shoot down. No reason was given but it has been claimed that the reactor has recovered normality.

Update (Apr 30): Japanese nuclear adviser resigns with tears denouncing that the Government is ignoring the law. He also said it was difficult to know who was in charge (The Wall Street Journal).
