#1 Hunting radioactive wild boar with a spear would make for some great television. Paging Sasha Siemel to the white courtesy phone.

#3 For some odd reason: in Chernobil and now Fukushima, we don't see any two headed mutants etc. It's like all this stuff from the 1960 was just movies.

#4 It is my understanding that boars breed like rabbits whether or not they are radioactive.

#6 So far 20,000 dead from the tsunami, none from Fukushima radiation. Not even among the Fukushima "50."

The main environmental impact of high radiation areas is that as people leave, nature reclaims the area very very quickly.

#7 Hunting radioactive wild boar with a spear

Stephen Stirling describes doing this in his Dies the Fire mega-series. It's not for the faint of heart.

#8 It was the sport of the 'old' ruling caste. Notes of hunts going back to the Iliad (boar tusk helmets). And yes, the scares with them, if you were fortunate enough, otherwise like bullfighters, sometimes you get the boar and sometimes the boar gets you.
