He also says that it's difficult for the Japanese to ask for outside help with the engineering. Herein lies the essence of the problem...their cultural hangup on saving face, honor is just pure ego identification. They need to put their taboos aside and deal with this now.

We must listen carefully to what Mr Akio Matsumura is saying in this interview: He talks about nuclear power plants, spent fuel pools, and the trouble with Reactor 4 at Fukushima. He is clear when he says ''We need an independent assessment team not associated with TEPCO. @BiancaJagger

What a terrible camera position. I can't watch that dam fan.

Just a thought: are structural drawings of the #4 reactor building and fuel pool available on the net? Geotechnical information also? I think us structural engineers throughout the world ought to start thinking about the structure, the fuel pool, and, possibly/hopefully, strengthening the building so the pool can be secured and emptied. We need to get some sort of non-profit web collaboration going (if there's not one already in place!). Any ideas? Who's in?

If this truly is as serious as it appears to be fuck the Japanese sensibility the rest of the world have to force themselves in.

You mean when... We can't be certain about much concerning Fukushima looking to the long decades ahead, but I think we can be pretty goddamn sure that the fault lines (*there are many*) around the plant (*and all the other reactors in Japan*) will remain active.

And by the way, it doesn't HAVE to be another earthquake... Have you seen that building? The pool just needs to drain, the fuel rods become exposed...!!!
