  • I worked at a PWR for 12 years at Surry, Va and this looks like a heck of a lot simpler design than what I worked with. So many auxiallary systems that had to work right to stay within tech specs.

  • take a car from the 70´s and a car from 2010, the same safety difference is in those reactors... Many more people died from the earthquake and tsunami itself why such fuss about Fukushima???

  • @adropofcolor Hmmm three days is plenty of time to add more water to that pool.

  • @adropofcolor in the case of TEPCO R&D for those reactors was made by Toshiba, Hitachi and GE in a joint venture, but were built back 1969 by Kajima and Ebasco.

    GE had nothing to do with the construction of the Power Plant Facilities.

    1998 GE sent warnings to in order to reconfigure the vessels due to increasing seismic activity.

    TEPCO reactors did not had the latest Passive Safety System, that is a decision of the owner and governments.

  • Then after the three days IT GOES BOOM

    @tepcogoboom

  • How about avoiding Tsunami!!!!!

    Can they design a nuclear power proof against that??
