Anyway, I've just done a quick calculation on that No 3 reactor that may be going into meltdown. It's the China Syndrome, except almost in reverse; if it does overheat and start plunging through the earth's core I reckon it will emerge in Ossy. I wonder if that will be a good thing or a bad thing?

If The China Syndrome could actually happen, a melting core from Fukushima would end up about 1,000 miles east-south-east of Buenos Aires, 1,300 miles north east of The Falklands. The only ones that could go through to Australia are in the southwest US states, and they'd get the southwest of Oz.
It's a moot exercise, anyway - A melting core would stop at the centre of the earth - it was only gravity directing it downwards, and once it's at the centre of the earth, there's no direction for it to go.
