所有媒体相关咨询请直接联系Josef is the author of the essay “Why I’m not worried about Japan’s nuclear reactors”. It was an email he sent to his family in Japan. When his cousin posted it on his blog, it went viral.
Josef is working hard with a team from MIT to provide an appropriate response to the interest the post has generated. The original blog will be migrated to an MIT site, managed by a team of experts from MIT's Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering. The link will be posted here when it becomes available.

FEARING the possible risk of contamination as Japan confronts a post-quake nuclear emergency, foreigners have begun a slow exodus from Tokyo, though some are maintaining a stiff upper lip。 www.6park.com
Several European nations have advised their citizens to consider leaving the Japanese capital following two blasts at a quake-damaged atomic power plant 250 kilometres to the north, sparking fears of a possible meltdown。 www.6park.com
France went further, telling citizens to leave the Tokyo area "for a few days" if they had no specific reason to stay and warning that if a reactor were to explode, radioactive steam could reach the city in a "matter of hours"。 www.6park.com
"A third of our staff has left," Stefan Huber, the Austrian deputy head of the European Union delegation in Japan, said。 www.6park.com
He added that executives at several German companies such as Bosch, Daimler and BMW, as well as law offices, had evacuated their spouses and children, noting that in Tokyo's German community "it's a veritable exodus"。 www.6park.com
Marissa, a dual Australian-Italian national who has lived in Tokyo for the past six years with her husband and two young children, decided yesterday that she was not taking any more chances and the family flew to Hong Kong。 www.6park.com
"We just thought it was probably better to leave at this point in time... I don't know about this nuclear issue, they don't seem to have quite got it under control yet," she said, asking to be identified only by her first name。 www.6park.com
She said a decision by Tokyo Electric Power to institute rolling power cuts in her neighbourhood had been a major factor, noting: "I won't be able to cook or give the kids a bath." www.6park.com
Huber said an email sent yesterday by the French embassy, in which it noted a warning from Japanese seismologists that a tremor with a magnitude of seven or higher was probable in the Tokyo region, had prompted many to leave。 www.6park.com
"The German embassy on Sunday offered the dependents of its diplomats the possibility of leaving. They all left," he said。 www.6park.com
At Audi's office in Tokyo, a secretary said: "The office is closed this week because of the earthquake. Call back next week." www.6park.com
The Japanese football team's coach Alberto Zaccheroni and his staff flew home to Italy on Saturday, saying their families were "terribly worried" and needed to be assured that they were alright. No return date has been fixed。 www.6park.com
Not all nations are sounding the alarm, however。 www.6park.com
"The British are very calm. For them, there is no danger," Huber said。 www.6park.com
The US has also refrained from telling its nationals living in Japan to head home, simply recommending that all non-essential travel be postponed。 www.6park.com
When asked about the European warnings, US ambassador John Roos told reporters in Tokyo: "That has not changed the analysis of our country with regard to the guidance that was given to United States citizens." www.6park.com
He advised nationals to "hear the instructions of the Japanese civil defence authorities". So far, no Americans have been killed or seriously injured in the massive quake and devastating tsunami that struck Japan on Friday。 www.6park.com
Foreign businesses in general seem to want to keep working, though perhaps with a more low-key presence。 www.6park.com
Martin Jordy, president of Alcatel-Lucent Japan, said his company had suggested that family members of employees could leave, but also "asked those who are working to stay, out of respect for the Japanese team"。 www.6park.com
Jordy said the French telecoms equipment maker expected new orders following the quake which damaged lines through northeastern Japan, saying: "The restoration of the network in the disaster zone will take months." www.6park.com
Some like French oil giant Total have even offered to evacuate their Japanese staff from Tokyo to the southwestern city of Fukuoka, where the company has rented a block of hotel rooms。 www.6park.com
Marissa admitted she had mixed feelings about leaving。 www.6park.com
"I think we all feel a bit torn. Obviously all our Japanese friends are still there and we feel a little like we have abandoned them," she said。 www.6park.com
"We are just hoping we'll all (be able to) go back as soon as possible. It's a frustrating feeling."作者: clot 时间: 2011-3-16 08:02:19
