The Japan Power Plant Meltdown!

I found a newspaper article for my journal about the recent power plant meltdown in Japan. I was inspired to write about this particular enviromental issue becasue my step-father is a chemist at the power plant here in Crystal River, Fl.
People read the news all the time and I believe they do not have much care about it because, hey, this was all the way in Japan right? Wrong. Just because those particular physical impact do not affect each of us directly does not mean we will not feel any wrath from it. "The power plant her in Florida is the same type of plant that melted down in Japan," says Tim (step-father). "We are using extreme caution right now, as we normally do but that doesn't mean it won't happen to us."
Tim went on to explain that in the power plant there are major cooling systems using water. One glitch in these systems and the plant will literally melt to the grounf just like the event in Japan.

This is a photo of our power plant in Crystal iver, Florida where my step-father works. Imagine it totally melted down into liquid metal as radiation and fumes fill our air.... But this "could never happen to us," right? ;-)
