Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1292639The fact they are dropping water from the air indicates they have lost all ability to apply water from the existing piping system. It's not a good sign, and probably means even if they can restore power they will not be able to pump water where it is needed. Well said! As well, let's not forget that water cannot put out a uranium or plutonium fire. (Fires of mixtures of titanium, zirconium, graphite, beryllium and uranium cannot be extinguished by water and do not need oxygen to burn). |
