I'm new to this forum and all that, and I'm not particularly inclined to rock the boat, as such, but I can't help but feel there's a distinct lack of empathy here. While the nuclear issue is indeed, a great worry, the chances of it impacting upon our archaeology are incredibly slim and there has been very little mention here of anything to do with the suffering of the people who live there. Quite frankly, I am somewhat disappointed at how little concern this forum has shown for the people who are actually being impacted by this disaster, all those who lost their families, their homes, their livelihoods, and the 20000 + people who have lost their lives. Whole towns have been obliterated, the survivors now living in constant fear of further quakes and radiation poisoning, and the greatest concern that is showed here is 'will our sediments be disturbed'?
Maybe I'm missing the point, maybe you've shown your concern elsewhere, or maybe this is all too personal for me as I have friends from the worst hit areas myself, but where is your compassion?
