[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM2NzU5NTY0XzEyODkxQzQw] Crucial Cooling Systems Restored at Fukushima Plant, Company Says http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/20/world/asia/blackout-halts-cooling-system-at-fukushima-plant.html?_r=1& [snip] But the cutoff of the vital systems appeared to support fears by some experts and critics that the plant remains dangerous in part because [b]some vital safety systems were makeshift fixes devised at the height of the nuclear crisis.[/b] Tokyo Electric, also known as Tepco, acknowledged the concern. “Fukushima Daiichi [b]still runs on makeshift equipment,[/b] and we are trying to switch to something more permanent and dependable,” a Tepco spokesman, Masayuki Ono, told reporters Tuesday as the company worked to restore the cooling systems. [b] With the company as the only source of information[/b], it was [b]impossible [/b]this week to independently [b]assess the conditions at the plant[/b], which sits in a contaminated zone that is closed to the public. On Tuesday, the company was criticized for waiting three hours before revealing the power failure to the public. Tepco said a faulty switchboard might have been to blame in the latest power failure. Though the company has backup generators at the site, it appeared to have been [b]unprepared for a switchboard failure. [/b] [/quote]
