Not a good idea.
(Reuters) - As much as 120 tons of radioactive water may have leaked from a storage tank at Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, contaminating the surrounding ground, Tokyo Electric Power Co said on Saturday. The power company has yet to discover the cause of the leak, detected on one of seven tanks that store water used to cool the plants reactors, a spokesman for the company, Masayuki Ono, said at a press briefing.
The company plans to pump 13,000 cubic meters of water remaining in the tank to other vessels over the next two weeks. Water from the leaking tank, which located 800 meters from the coast, is not expected to reach the sea, Kyodo news wire reported, earlier, citing unidentified officials from the utility. The company did not say how long the tank had been leaking.

That is a very scary thought. But I think even a mad man would not use there valuable nuclear weapons on a plant that is already destroyed. I think a nuke hitting any nuclear power plant would be the same. There are lots of bigger ones to worry about.

That's funny really funny ..
You think me or you have some knowledge what they don't have, lo0l ..

And as for the comment by one member who said "what if NK reads this thread?" -- I mean, seriously. Neither NK nor any other govt has to resort to reading threads on conspiracy sites to work out what targets are in range of their weaponry and what would cause the greatest harm, both physically and psychologically. It is well-known that NK and Japan are no friends and so I would expect the NK military have long since analysed the Fukushima Dai-ichi disaster and considered if there is any way they could use it to their advantage.
Japanese Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera on Sunday ordered the Self-Defense Forces to prepare for the shooting down of North Korean ballistic missiles in the event that any are launched, government sources said.
"There is not a high possibility that a missile would target Japan, but we have determined we should prepare for any contingency," a source said.
