I'd rather SE keep the servers down til they're 100% sure it's safe rather then having to completely restart everything in the case of info getting lost in a outage surge...although everyone needing to restart would be interesting and loads would quit I'm sure...

can't speak for them, but I would hazard a guess they would want to hold out for there to be enough headroom between supply and demand so that if they have to rely on backup power, it would only be for short spikes. Each of there big devices is likely pulling in around 700-800 watts or more because of power redundancy (dual PSU, battery backups), so they are going to need a hefty amount of current to keep those bad boys up.

03-22-2011 11:57 AM #4Might be approaching an important time frame for the day. A lot of banks were talking about bringing their ATM's back up after noon today (almost 12pm JST). Will be interesting to see the impact if they do--could provide a good indicator for SE if they are closely monitoring everything. <HINT HINT... TAP TAP...

03-22-2011 12:13 PM #5I forget all the details exactly, but it was covered in some news coverage early on. The Dai Ni plant kicked off the control rods when the first quake hit and they eventually went into cold shutdown (no rods in the core). Before they can be brought back online they have to undergo full inspection. So, they will be coming back online eventually if all checks out.
They have several power companies that feed power to Japan. One of those third party wholesalers is supposed to be cranking up to provide 150MW, but they did not say how much of an increase that was over their normal provision. They mentioned that a mix of Natural Gas, Coal, and Nuclear are used there, and I want to say that it was 30% of all of Japan is nuclear, but Tokyo was a bit different on it's allotment somehow.(0){DISCLAIMER} Posts may contain opinions based on personal experiences that are not be meant to be taken as facts.

Yea, sensationalism has been running rampart these last few days hasn't it? I will say this though, I have been working a lot lately and I've been biking to work (12.5 miles each way) these past two weeks and when I get home I'm pretty beat. I guess I can be excused for reading the news wrong since I've been doing so at 30% as well haha.
