An extremely serious question regarding Japan ...

Hi, COJ.  I'm a cyber-friend to a guy who is residing in Japan (he had to move back about 3 to 4 years or so ago to take care of his father's business).  I've only communicated with him via e-mail for a few years, but not on a consistent basis.  However, he sent me an e-mail that had a very serious question that sparked my interest, and I'm looking for feedback that I can provide to him.

The following is the e-mail he sent recently (please do not critique his syntax/grammar/spelling):

**************************************************
Here in Japan, at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant, 
radioactivity's been leaking from the reactors (!) sometime now; 
What'smore, accumulated hydrogen caused fires as you probably saw.

Because the plant, the power company or the companies who built the plant 
did not have cooling pumps, they finally bought one American pump via Australia.
Fukushima nuclear power plant has a bit more than 10 times the "fuel" 
than the Chernobyl nuclear power plant had.  If another quake hits the Fukushima area, this country and many other places, including anything with or without life, shall be destroyed.
And our Prime Minister's not been doing anything but "hide himself".

What would you guys do, if you have a case like this in your coutry?

Wow!  I do not know what to think since I don't know anything about the politics and such over there.

Any thoughts, COJ??
