Someone posted that there isn't a seoondary containment vessel. Not a good thing.
I don't think this will be a major disaster, but it will set back the nuclear industry --again. I remember how the media treated TMI and Chernobyl. This if going to be another feeding frenzy.
Posted that update in several threads...
looks like this morning things didn’t turn out so well...
Pray for Japan.
Maybe you should tell these guys at the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology instead?

“Quake moved Japan coast 8 feet; shifted Earth's axis”
You apparently think the rotational axis and the magnetic axis are the same thing.
None at this time. The press reports are useless. I will wait until one of our company engineers there in Japan can give us the real dope on what has happened. At worst this will be a TMI type, and from what I hear, they are doing the last desperate action of a dying nuke plant, flooding the core with raw water, in this case sea water, but those units are an old GE second generation design,similar to Oyster Creek, Dresden, and Quad Cities, and were due to be shut down next year.
“I saw the Rino neocons coming in the very beginning. Neocons don’t allow any thought that is different from theirs.”
We can’t all be the same, thank heaven, but one thing you’ll surely notice around here is that you must be able to defend yourself...lol...I find that mostly invigorating to my thinking (sharpens my thinking and debating), however if people cross the line of being kind, with those around here who are mostly of a like mind, I think that’s too much...people can certainly challenge people’s thinking, without being downright mean about it. They may even win others over to their point of view with such an approach! :) Now that said, I think one of the issues of energy independence is how it will allow us to decouple ourselves from the insanity of the Muslim world.
That’s at least worth deep thought and discussion. I don’t think complete energy independence should be at the cost
our national strength and economy. But energy conservation, efficiency and new energy are part of the equation - and to think otherwise I think only aids and abets the enemy (radical islam).
Let’s all get into a winning wartime mentality.
Cheers!
