[QUOTE="JRSherman, post: 1483191, member: 13432"] Please, please, please, don't go off of this POS article for updates about this issue.[URL="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/karl-grossman/japan-nuclear-fukushima-_b_834559.html"]http://www.huffingtonpost.com/karl-grossman/japan-nuclear-fukushima-_b_834559.html[/URL] I seriously want to smack this dude upside the head. As much as I've forgotten about nuclear power(after working through a refueling process and an initial startup of a new reactor, in addition to a year or so sitting on both sides of the reactor operator, controlling reactor power myself) I can see the liberal anti-nuclear energy manifesting itself in every sentence of this article. Yes they're having issues. Yes,they are serious issues. [B]No, this is NOT going to turn out like Chernobyl.[/B] In the absolute worst case scenario, they will place gas/diesel driven pumps in line with the emergency cooling systems and pump seawater into the facility.
