Yet, to get even more on track one does need to find out who manufactured these particular plants and what make and model they are to go even more elaborate and precise. Read somewhere (rumor or not) that this plant had been built by General Electric. I do not know if this is true or not. Any ideas? |

The depths of this disaster are astounding. US Naval assets are in route with search and rescue coupled with supplies. They should be begin to appear on the horizon within 24 hours. Last Edited by D.

The guy started to say "fail", then cought himself and corrected. He was clearly nervous and body language suggested panic. I am not buying any official lines here, and we could be looking at Chernoble Meltdown Scenario. Iodine is being handed out. |

The Chef User ID: 1252311 United States 03/12/2011 12:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nice post and good information. The Japanese are not being very honest so far though. I work for a large energy company and yesterday our engineers were in conference calls and meetings all day trying to help the Japanese come up with a plan to avoid a meltdown. They already knew at that time which was maybe 5am or earlier that the meltdown likely could not be avoided. This was because all the backup generators were damaged and not able to be repaired soon enough. This was from the Tsunami. They also knew at that time that the cooling system was damaged and not working. The initial earthquake damaged the cooling system. They had major leaks and coolant was leaking faster than could be replaced into the system. They also only had battery power. So they knew very early yesterday this was going to happen but have downplayed it all the way. Last Edited by The Chef on 03/12/2011 12:08 PM |

This sucks Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence." We can never shed our sins and regrets, only accumulate more, a burden that we grow and carry until our deaths. The best we can do is learn to live with ourselves, to accommodate our pasts |

I appreciate having all the information I can get so I can make my own decisions. It is so much better than having them decide for me and then telling me my decision in the next round of TV programming. Keep up the good work. |
