My info is the reactor was not being legally maintained, and the back up systems were not positioned properly - and if they had been none of this would be happening right now. In other words, the people who were running the reactor messed up big time.
While not to take anything away from the "Fukushima 50" - as they are obviously courageous - the people in charge of those reactors had best do everything they can to avoid a meltdown, else they will have a lot of blood on their hands.
A lot of people are simply blaming the earthquake and the tsunami. I'm not hearing near enough critisim of the actual people who were in charge of the reactors themselves - because if my info is correct, they are a lot more responsible for what happened than mother nature is.(0)
03-20-2011 04:06 PM #387I would be curious as to the source of your information? This is the first I am hearing anything of the sort, that it was not being legally maintained. Are you refering to the saftey violations they received?

edit: oh, and the flooding also caused damage to the pumps and circuitry controlling the systems as well.(0){DISCLAIMER} Posts may contain opinions based on personal experiences that are not be meant to be taken as facts.

A friend was filling me in about it earlier on the phone. I'll have to ask him tomorrow about it if you want a specific source. Originally Posted by Anela

When you take into consideration this company's background, it's not hard to believe, and a lot of them are probably going to wish they had been nuked to death when this is all over, cause they are going to be swimming in lawsuits.(0)
03-20-2011 04:28 PM #390bah.. last TEPCO conference wasn't very fruitful... again.
Back and forth about pressure levels in #3, which appear to have stabilized now. 1 & 2 pumps should be operational soon and cooling on their own, but they will not be able to start them at the same time (no details given).
Still progress... I guess(0){DISCLAIMER} Posts may contain opinions based on personal experiences that are not be meant to be taken as facts.
