What a mess that is over there. Now it's the partial meltdown of the Nuclear reactor and they have evacuated a 12 mile radius. A second explosion is perhaps likely. Anyway, those who have MOPP gear keep it close by and expect the worse. Who knows if they can get it under control or not there.
If it blows, the radioactive dust will travel for thousands of miles. They are still getting massive after shocks as well. China syndrome going on right now.
URGENT: Risk of New Blast at Japan Nuke Plant, 'Partial Meltdown' Likely

After all what good is having an electric car when we have to be alive to drive it.
MOPP gear or rain gear, gas masks, Potassium Iodide, duct tape, garbage bags, food, water and a good location to sit it out for a few weeks if there is radioactive dust coming our way. (Where ever we live.)
Maybe its just me, but I keep my MOPP gear handy at all times now.
Just in case.
