[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM3MDk1NjMwXzVFODFGQkYw] Rat Chase Again Bedevils Fukushima Nuclear Plant http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/06/world/asia/rat-chase-again-bedevils-fukushima-nuclear-plant.html?_r=1& [snip] The debris-strewn plant still relies on makeshift cooling systems, some of which were hastily put together in the accident’s frantic aftermath. The spent fuel pools, which hold far more radioactive material than the reactor cores, have been a particular source of concern. A blackout disabled cooling at four fuel pools last month, an incident the company blamed on a rat that may have gnawed on power cables and triggered a short circuit. The rat died, and engineers later found its scorched body in a damaged switchboard. But Friday afternoon, four workers using wire meshing to seal a space around electric cables triggered a ground fault, or the accidental flow of current to the ground. None of the workers were injured, but the ground fault shut off electricity to the cooling system at the No. 3 reactor fuel pool. [/quote]
