Crucial power cable connected at Japan's nuclear plant

[weenylv]

problem with too fast growing population? Wait for an earthquake! Prolem pupulation?

@weenylv no japan population is going down projections by alot

Lucky`s, non 1st comment !

Earthquake, thank you ?

they can do it

I simply cannot believe that big portable generators from the military or construction industry couldn't have been brought in on an expedited emergency basis in a couple days. That would not have interfered with all necessary haste to reconnect the complex with Japan's power grid. There should also have been a major drive to solicit qualified volunteers from all phases of building, rigging, salvage, electrical, hvy equip, technical & engineering trades, rotated to minimize dangerous exposure.

@starmanskye

That would have required a huge announcement to the public about the dire straits they were in, THAT, they did not want to do. The rest perhaps can be chalked up to denial, and corporate greed. What a shame.

Earthquake tsunami hydrogen explosion and fires.

50+workers simply isn't enough. Think of the logistics of needed REPAIRS, before a permanent structure can be put in place It takes the same people to fix those buildings as constructed it it the beginning. Electricians. Steel workers. Pipe fitters. Masons. Welders Plumbers. Plus all the teams of firemen and other organizations to battle the blaze. THEN, other teams to build over and bury the plant (If possible given the location) This list of people includes miners to tunnel under the plant.

@TheSnowmanagable That's a great idea!! (except for 1 problem), anyone that works in close proximity of that plant will probably die of radiation poisoning after a few hours of exposure. I wouldn't expect armies of civilian laborers around that plant anytime soon.

@clintonearlwalker

Oh I'm not saying its going to be easy, in fact, just the opposite. I'm saying this is an engineering and architectural nightmare like we've never seen. Make no mistake, eventually, lots of people have to go in there and button it up, radiation or not.

[clintonearlwalker]

@TheSnowmanagable Nah, ain't gonna be no "lots of people". That will only result in lots more corpses. I just watched a vid on the hasty repairs at Chernobyl, (it's very good if you want to watch it) they built a "temporary" covering that is still leaking 25 years later. CBS news people were there 3 weeks ago and said they were getting a dose 9 times higher than in Washington DC. I read that if you stand looking in the spent fuel rod pool without water, it will kill you in 10 minutes.

The ones working in those plants are real heroes (for the WORLD)! I would imagine that they could say no and walk away. The deadly radiation that they are being exposed to is going to cause a very agonizing death. This unselfish act should always be remembered around the world. Of course that is if there is a world left after this incident.

These japanese disasters are so exciting ^_^

@redbluddeath Cucu cucu!!!
