medium steak.

medium-rare steak.

Should have previewed that post.

On a technical note has anyone heard any follow up about the earlier readings of cesium around the plant? It seems to me that it is possible that the explosion, which was directed upwards to minimize damage as much as possible to the actual containment, would still do a fair deal of damage coming on the heels of several dozen earthquakes and a tsunami. Could elements be exposed?

Also about the sea water pumping where will the water circulate to? Will it be sequestered to avoid contamination? Will it just turn into steam and drift off into the winds?

Question...and I”m no scientist...but could they use supercooled items like Liquid Nitrogen or equvalent? Or would that not be a good combination with nuclear elements? and even if you were able to get LN02,how would you circulate it without power? I guess I just answered my own question but seawater doesn’t seem nearly cold enough all by iteslf. My prayers to the scientists and engineers obviously putting their lives on the line to control this.
