Damage control

Picture of the Day Oct. 10, 2011 - 07:02AM JST

This photo, released on Saturday by Tokyo Electric Power
Co (TEPCO), shows the damaged No. 3 reactor building
at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Okuma,
Fukushima Prefecture. Officials said Sunday the plant is
now relatively stable.

Relative?

P!

Take care.

The headline is a little misleading. This is not “the reactor”. This is the reactor building. The actual reactor and its containment structure are inside this building. The part you see collapsed is the refueling deck and the support structure for the cranes. All of the vital equipment is in rooms under all this. And you can’t see the heavy iron doors that let you into this building.

Okay you made me feel good enough to to run in there... :)

[Catmom]

Does it glow in the dark?

[politicianslie]

Yes, Can’t you see it from the White House?

[allmost]

Take care over there.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Yeah, its what we have to deal with here. That’s about how I imagined a close-up shot of the damage would look.

Is that Kudzu in the foreground?

[PowderMonkey]

Yep. The vine that ate the South. Damnable stuff can survive anthing.

>>> Is that Kudzu in the foreground? <<<

Great, just what the world needs; radioactively mutated Kudzu.

I think I see evidence of a lot of sub-standard concrete in that structure. What do you think?

[SargeK]

What do you see that makes you say that?

I think I see evidence of a lot of sub-standard concrete in that structure. What do you think?

I think I see evidence of a lot of sub-standard, baseless analysis in your post. What do you think?

[Amberdawn]

Godzilla Kudzu!

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

It looks fine to me too.

[sasquatch]

Yep. The vine that ate the South. Damnable stuff can survive anthing.

With a dusting of Pampas grass.

[Wingy]

After surviving multiple H2 explosions you might look a little sub-standard too.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Yep, relatively stable. You can “tell” because the media has largely forgotten that the plant exists; other than your posts and a few others here from japanese sources, there’s almost no information anymore.
