...it just seems so ironic that you have nuclear plants next to the sea, in an area that was just overrun by a Tsunami, but there isn't enough water to prevent the spent fuel from combusting.

Water, water everywhere, and not enough pumps to spray.

They need a couple of those 2000 horsepower boiler feed pumps for each reactor that is in trouble.

Where is Halliburton when you need them? They can do about 1,000 hp per truck.

If they had HOWCO (Halliburton Oil Well Cementing Company) Saturday morning and offered them the pump job they would have carried the pumps in by hand if they had to, carry diesel in buckets and eat vienna sausage and RC Cola until reinforcements arrived!

Guaranteed. Too late now though.
