Where is the diesel generator located for Reactor 2???

Give me the exact location.

Btw, did you miss the post I made from the physics forum about protocol in this situation??? Or do you just think he doesn’t know what he is talking about and is lying about his experience?

Btw, there is an article about the debacle over opening the vents.

Perhaps you missed it.

If you really want me to comment on multiple articles, you will have to understand that I can’t possibly be certain that I have actually read every posted or linked article you have put in one of your posts or comments. If you gave some sort of reference to the details of these articles, I might remember whether I read them. If you actually provided a link, I could simply refer to them and provide a response.

But I am at a loss as to how to respond to a comment such as “there is an article about the debacle over opening the vents”. Am I expected to type “debacle vents” in Google, and read every article, hoping to find out what you are refering to?

Or am I supposed to do a word search on freerepublic for “RummyChick physics forum protocol” and hope that I stumble across the post you made from the physics forum about protocol?

And when you say “do you just think he doesn’t know what he is talking about and is lying about his experience”, am I supposed to search on “he” and hope that I can figure out who this “he” is, since my post didn’t mention a person, and I traced back this particular thread of comments and can’t find any reference to a name of a person.

I don’t mind looking at more information, and having my horizons broadened, but please at least give me a little clue as to what I’m looking for.

I also can’t find a schematic of the facility (I understand that there are some security issues for nuclear power plants so they don’t like detailed location information posted on the net), so I don’t know how I could possibly give you the exact location of “the diesel generator”.

Maybe it’s a trick question? I’ve read a couple of articles that say each reactor had multiple diesel generators for various tasks; there was an initial report that the diesel generators were all near the water, but later that was amended to say that the fuel tanks were near the water.

In another thread there was discussion that the generators were in basements that got flooded, but I don’t know if there was any confirmation.

Still, like all your other comments, without context I have no real clue why you are asking the question, or how I am supposed to go find what it is you must be alluding to.

BTW, it looks like my speculation in another forum that the big radiation release could have been from the #4 pool may be wrong: “Authorities said much of the high-level radiation leaked from reactor 2 on March 15 and 16, early in the accident. Abnormalities in the reactor’s suppression pool caused the radiation release, the Japan Nuclear Safety Commission said. Radiation continues to leak from the suppression pool, the commission said, but the volume has dropped considerably.”

Reactor 2 is the one that didn’t have its building blow up, because it didn’t have high reactor pressure that had to be vented, and it has been assumed that it had a breach in the suppression pool. This is further indication of such a breach.
