Expert: Natural disasters pose risk to Japan nuclear plant
Another natural disaster leading to a radioactive leak poses the biggest threat to the stability of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, said Michael Friedlander, a former U.S. nuclear plant senior operator. "The biggest real risk is that a pipe breaks and that hundreds of thousands of gallons of highly radioactive water ends up underground or ends up leeching back into the ocean or something like that," Friedlander said. However, the prospect of large-scale contamination "is almost zero," he added. CNN
