The description under the picture of Reactor #2 (below) sounds strange. Question for anyone out there: Do nuclear reactors usually have windows"? Quote: "Aerial view shows white smoke billowing from a "window" in the No. 2 reactor building at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant..."

@SteveMT The building you see is non-structural, intended mostly as an environmental enclosure to keep the rain off the equipment inside. Inside that structure is a very thick concrete structure that protects the reactor itself. I don't know if windows are normal or not, but there is no particular reason not to have one.

On the 9pm news last night on NHK, they covered an aspect that I hadn't seen much talk about. While we know the people need to evacuate, they had a section talking about the animals in the evacuation zone. One farmer had 40 cows that produce about a ton of milk every day. He is in the 20-30km zone. He has to feed them, but is running out of food, and he has to milk them daily (not good to delay milking a dairy cow). After milking them, he has to dump the milk every day. As a result, he's losing the value of a ton of milk every day, not to mention the feed, which is all out of his pocket. The two major problems are 1) What will he do if the evacuation zone is expanded to 30km? Where will he bring the animals (and it isn't something that can be done in just one day)?
