Carbonized? Yowza. Must have been a very intense shot of heat to do that...

Which power source kills more people each year, wind, hydro, nukes or something else?

Unexpectedly™, nukes come in dead last hardly killing anyone! All this angst and blather wasted!

You are oh so right Maddog! The french said this was not a nuclear accident but an industrial accident. Just like the Japanese will be dying from environmental cancers years from now. If you don't count or measure it, it didn't happen!

This facility incinerates the suits worn by nuclear workers. This had as much potential for being a nuclear accident as if I get in a wreck on my way home from work.
Can we worry about the real issues with nuclear power, rather then going Chicken Little™ any time anything related to nuclear material is mentioned in the press? This thing gets national attention when a pipeline explosion in Kenya on the same day kills 80+ people (including children), and no one cares because poor people in a poor country were incinerated, rather than one guy in a hazardous work environment in a rich country where something went terribly wrong.
