I assume the back up pumps from the US have arrived by now and are waiting. The question is, where are the pumps located, and can workers get to them? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1301834what does it matter if 3 is still gonna meltdown anyway? it will be suicide to work on the other plants Definitely. We have 6 wild cards at play. All of which are complete unknowns. I don't like the odds. All it takes is just for one to go to reignite any of the others. |

| RLC User ID: 1302135 United States03/19/2011 12:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | this is weird. this morning we get the head guy crying because nothing could be done. and now everything is ok? i would think this guy would have knowledge if they are close to fixing it so why cry? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1303228This is a case of people believing what they don't see. We saw smoke. White and Yellow We saw the buildings blown out (hydrogen) We know from their documentation that the spent rod pool was above where the blast was most likely to occur, meaning a major chance of radiated material scatter. What we do know is that they SAY its on, though we don't have a single pic from inside the plant confirming "Lights on" Unless they can "Show" and clearly explain that the situation is under control, I learned that I wont play the sucker after the BP fiasco. |

The idea of smothering and sealing Japan's overheated nuclear reactors in sand or concrete to stop the crisis is appealing. But experts say that it's too early for something that desperate and that it could be a big mistake that could make matters worse. Most urge continuing the current efforts to cool the radioactive material, and at least one suggested massive spraying to hold down radioactive dust. Fires, explosions or partial meltdowns have struck four of the six reactor units at the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant. There are few options for stopping the dangerous overheating of nuclear materials there. ... [link to www.straitstimes.com] |

These are all General Electric designed reactors. I want to see a report from these clowns before they restart anything right? Good Lord, these people are friggen nuts. But yes your right, sea water has already ruined everything. These have to be torn down and re designed ..PERIOD!! |
