What will happen with Japan?

Hello! As I've seen the comments below, I have found a video with the devastating effects of the tsunami and earthquake in Japan. Houses, cars, everything has been swept by the disaster:

But this is only a minor part of all the damages the earthquake has provoked. There is also the issue with the nuclear power plants, which, due to the fact that they have run out of electricity, the nuclear refrigerators can't cool down the radioactive materials of the power plants, making the extremely dangerous for our health. This is because the radioactive material can't be controlled when liquid or gas, so it begins to emit a radioactive cloud which harms food, animals and other living things, as it is all passed by inhaling such fumes or because it is passed along the food chain. And now everybody starts talking about Chernobyl again.

  • Is the nuclear disaster comparable to Chernobyl? Is it worse? What can be done to stop it?
  • What is the government doing to help the people there? They've admitted to have been retaining information to the japanese. Do they still know even more than we or the japanese do? Why did they have to hide this information?
  • Could the nuclear fallout have been avoided? What can we do now? If the food is contaminated with radioactive materials, do we have to stop importing things from Japan? What will happen then to their economy?
I know there are loads to discuss about and it is probable that I have forgot to include some issues, but please comment and take out those subjects!
