Also, we store the spent catalysts that contain radioactive materials in the warehouse inside the plant complex in strict adherence to the related laws and regulations. The warehouse is about 500 meters away from where the accident started. The containers are intact, and the current levels of radiation is the same as before the accident.

  500 meters from the accident location — is not very far when you look at the fires and explosions! About 1500 feet..

    "500 meters from where the accident started" The fire spread from where it started, there was a second explosion hours later. How close did it get?

    there is a google map shot of the accidented chemical plant. You can see where the uranium is supposed to be stocked. Anyway it looks pretty closed, would be a miracle if it stood it without any damage.. Officials claimed there even not any toxical gas release… which sounds pretty dubious !

  "The containers are intact, and the current levels of radiation is the same as before the accident."

  That means, 'higher than shit', right?

  "strict" adherence to Japan's loose laws is NOT reassuring.
