ArtRosen Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Exaclty. As long as they pay for expenses I'd do it for minimum wage. Sorry, I'm not going anywhere NEAR Japan right now. They could pay me all they want.. between earthquakes, tsunamis and nuclear meltdowns, I'd rather be on a hunting trip with Dick Cheney! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moneyman Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Art, just chill man. A meltdown doesn't mean something "huge" would happen. Let the experts handle this, I'm sure they know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Dunno... just saw it cross the AP wire here at work so I posted the urgent. Sorry I didn't mean your post at all, just the cryptic information they've been releasing with no regularity, consistency in language, etc. I'm also annoyed that the U.S. media, from where I sit, has made no effort to clean it up and even attempt to paint a clear picture. They're just throwing it out there and going back to arguing or showing destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 TEPCO briefings: http://www.tepco.co.jp/en/index-e.html Latest they have on #3 High Pressure Coolant Injection System of Unit 3 automatically stopped. We endeavored to restart the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System but failed. Also, we could not confirm the water inflow of Emergency Core Cooling System. As such, we decided at 5.10AM, Mar 12, and we reported and/or noticed the government agencies concerned to apply the clause 1 of the Article 15 of the Radiation Disaster Measure at 5:58AM, Mar 13. In order to fully secure safety, we operated the vent valve to reduce the pressure of the reactor containment vessels (partial release of air containing radioactive materials) and completed the procedure at 8:41AM, Mar 13, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJW155 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Well, on the bright side at least we now know how Godzilla was formed. Are there any zoos in the area? Maybe a gorilla escaped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkrangers Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Why is CNN's meteorologist explaining a nuclear meltdown? What would be so difficult about finding an unbiased nuclear expert to explain this to people? Bill Nye! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Why is CNN's meteorologist explaining a nuclear meltdown? What would be so difficult about finding an unbiased nuclear expert to explain this to people? Bill Nye! Not surprising, since in television meteorologist is synonymous with "only person who knows a lick about science in the building." But you would think that a company like CNN could find the time and resources to get a nuclear expert on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 LOL CNN has now moved Chad Myers into the meltdown expert category. Last night he was the plate tectonics expert. Obviously he has that rare Masters of Nuclear Meteorological Tectonics degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott747 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I quoted the tweet word for word. And that tweet is incredibly misleading as OSU is trying to explain. It's one reactor we have known about (#1) and the recently revealed #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtRosen Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 American media has woken up in the past hour discussing a partial meltdown in the second reactor. Unfortunately, they're short on details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJHurricane Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I doubt that any contingency planning scenario ever envisioned multiple failures of this nature at multiple reactors in multiple facilities at the same time. It has to be a massive strain on the highly specialized response personnel needed to address this. I have to agree with the analaysis that flooding a reactor with seawater means that the situation is almost totally out of control and on the knife edge of crossing into worst case scenario territory.
