isnt that photoshop?

im sure i heard that.

our powers is pretty good hast cut for years. we 're pretty remote as well

a trasnformer blew last week when it was at least 40°C. u know those big round things on the polls outside. so the rest of my street can still breath...

Hrm...If there were firetrucks near the powerplant and stuff and no one was allowed near it, that makes it sound like a Level 3 or Level 4 meltdown (there are 5 levels in the U.S., as far as I know, 1 is the worst, 5 is the best).  They usually get them under control if they start happening though, technology is so good these days, the incident of three mile island made nuclear reactors so much safer, there hasnt been a Level 1 meltdown since Chernobyl, as far as I know.

Anyway, I may be wrong.  I'm glad you're ok though.

Is it true that when there is a meltdown that all the space near it becomes uninhabitable?

Coal power here in Australia .

Yes, radiation can stay in the area for years, even decades after the effects can still have bad consequences on the Human body...After Chernobyl there was radiation for at least a 20-mile radius.
