Another week has passed since the dreadful earthquake that hit Japan, but the fears of a major nuclear disaster are still very much present. Life’s Little Mysteries explains us what a nuclear meltdown is, and from Life Science comes a look inside Fukushima’s Nuclear Reactors. Ria Novosti recaps the major earthquakes in the 21st century and their effects, The Guardian made a map of the Nuclear power stations and reactors operational around the world, and the ones in probable earthquake areas, and, to close our first round-up of the week, an interactive resource, the Emergency and Disaster Alert Map, created by the Hungarian National Association of Radio Distress-Signalling and Infocommunications (RSOE).
