BEFORE
AFTER
The plant was hit by the Tsunami. The diesel tanks at the port terminal washed away. The information was posted here before. It was drowned out by all of the static.
I agree with your statements wholeheartedly.
Is not the above sentence a lie? The plant came through the disasters of quake and tsunami fine. Something just took the backup diesel generators off-line and I don't know that they've got a reasoning for that yet. Not that I've seen at least.
No not really.
If there'd been no earthquake, then no tsunami. The damage was caused as a result of them both, but the primary cause of their reactor problems was they ran out of power to maintain the cooling pumps in the spent fuel pools once the battery stacks ran down.
Now you have no roads, no rails, no port to get supplies into the area, and 90+% of your reliable staff just got wiped away. I think they're handling it as well as anyone could, for all the blathering and moaning. JMHO.
