On the disaster...

'March 12, 2011: White smoke could be seen billowing from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan following a large explosion. (NHK)'

And according to experts in Taiwan, the chance of the radioactive particles reaching the country is about 10%. Much depends on the wind.

Hopefully none of it will touch Taiwan.

They're saying the explosion didn't affect the actual reactor - it's a building that housed a metal container for the reactor, and the radiation leakage has actually decreased. So I suppose that's something to be thankful for.
