Wood debris generated from Japan's earthquake destruction will be used to generate electricity. The majority of the debris is in an area that is uninhabitable FOR DECADES due to radioactive contamination from the Fukushima nuclear power plant explosions and meltdown. *I'M NO NUCLEAR PHYSICIST BUT* nuclear fallout is when radioisotopes adhere to things like dust or ash, then get taken up via the wind and blown through our atmosphere, right? Is there such a thing like *CLEAN* burning of wood for energy generation? Isn't there always *SMOKE* as a component? *I AM JUST ASKING THIS QUESTION*
The US government announced it doesn't plan to monitor RADIOACTIVITY in the fish we buy in America. Does the Japanese government plan to monitor the RADIOACTIVITY release into the air when burning wood from an area that has been contaminated from the nuclear power plant meltdown?
*French company to decontaminate Daiichi water*
French nuclear reactor maker Areva says it has agreed with the Tokyo Electric Power Company to build a facility to decontaminate radioactive water at the compound of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

*Japan's Nuclear Crisis, Stuxnet and SCADA Defenses*
I believe we can use the events that are unfolding in Japan as a learning opportunity regarding the possible consequences of a sophisticated Stuxnet-type attack against SCADA networks at a nuclear facility.
Stuxnet is a highly sophisticated designer-virus that wreaks havoc with SCADA systems which provide operational control for critical infrastructure and production networks, such as those used to operate a nuclear power plant.
Stuxnet-type viruses are uniquely dangerous because they are capable not only of affecting network computer systems, they can also cause actual physical damage to the equipment the networks control.
From what I understand of the current crisis in Japan, the problems at the nuclear facilities did not stem from the reactors themselves sustaining significant damaged in the earthquake.
Instead, the problem with the reactor cores over-heating was caused by a disruption to the power and water supplies that are needed for the cooling systems. The problem was compounded by the destruction of the backup generators for the cooling system pumps in the subsequent tsunami
