What a disaster, and I don’t mean the original one.
- Water pumped into a tank that was already full and 100 tones of highly radiocative water spills out.
- They don’t think any of the water made it to the Pacific Ocean but are not sure.
- One of the two thermometers they have to monitor the temperatures of the fuel was accidentally shorted out by workers.
- And they have to keep pouring water on the fuel rods to keep them cool, then find a place for the water.
- Booming business for storage tanks of highly radioactive water in Japan right now. New models said to have a sight glass so workers can tell if it is full or not.
This is interesting.
