Japan Nuclear Holocaust (again!) / Economy also cooked!

Japan was ground zero for the world's introduction to atomic power, which has grown exponentially more destructive since 1945. It would appear, actually it is certain, that Japan is once again ground for even more devastating Nuclear power that is all but certain to render most of Japan, including Tokyo uninhabitable. The following video from Tokyo (not Fukushima) proves how contaminated the ground has become in areas of Japan, much further away than Fukushima.
