I've been seeing many articles recently that the structure housing fuel rods in the Fukushima reactor complex is highly unstable. The articles propose that if it collapsed it could wipe out half the earths population. My bullshit detector goes off when I hear stuff like this, but I'm looking for an educated opinion, as my knowledge of physics doesn't go too far past a high school level. Any insight?

I'm traveling to Japan for a week in early March and was hoping to experience staying in an Onsen with hot-springs. Preferably snow and monkeys too. I'll have a railpass and would be willing to travel up to a few hours outside Tokyo or Kyoto. Can anyone recommend anywhere? Thanks for any ideas :)

I've been a long time reader of r/gardening but have never posted anything before. I've recently taken a trip to South East Asia, and more than anything it's inspired me to learn more about gardening, and food security. I'm just wondering from a reddit perspective, from personal experience, how much land do you think would be required to support a family? What type of crops would you plant for the highest food value? Do you think given enough land, irrigation, tools (but no machinery) etc, that you could you keep yourself alive indefinitely from what you produce alone.

Recently while driving past a road construction site, I noticed a vehicle with the nuclear radiation symbol (HAZMAT 7) on it's side, with a Boral logo (Boral in Australia product asphalt, along with many other natural resource based products). I'm just wondering if anyone to give me any information as to why this is displayed; what part of the road sealing process would involve radioactive substances? Thanks!
