Why has no one suggested using a couple of Shamwows!
Perhaps he could take a couple of Slap n Chops to deal with the exposed rods too? |

That would only be a goer if 'Vince' demonstrated their use in person.

? The moat would be 200 miles long, 2 miles wide, and 500m deep.
Construction would take 15-20 years, and provide a valuable boost to Japan's economy. The infill could then be exported to the maldives to mitigate the effects of rising sea levels. |

I like it, these Jap nuclear engineers need all the help they can get. Maybe we should contact them?

4th reactor now on fire according to a notification I just got from the CNN app.

You could do it via video link. Sit at home, beer in hand, feet in pool, giving advice. Sounds ideal for you.

Re: Nuclear Meltdown?
No Red Adair to come to the rescue dammit.
I was sold on this Nuclear stuff... Now I realise it wont stand a huge catastrophe I'm not so sure. Looks like a China Syndrome type reaction would be the worst case scenario here, where the core melts into water table and explodes, sending radioactive debris into the atmosphere. Hopefully that's not on fates agenda. Personally right now, I'm slightly more nervous about the prospects of a major quake in the US. How long do these Quake Cycles take ? All of this isn't making me confident about 2012. |

THE crew of the US aircraft carrier, on a humanitarian mission to Japan, received a month's worth of radiation in about an hour, a US newspaper reports. Citing unnamed government officials, The New York Times said the USS Ronald Reagan passed through a radioactive cloud from damaged nuclear reactors in Japan when it approached the country on its humanitarian mission. ================= I wonder how far off-shore it was? ... :blink: |

Oooh a real interview, for a real job? Good luck on that one :fingerscrossed: (well, if you want the job that is).

Re: Nuclear Meltdown?
Looks like it is about to get a lot worse.
The wind is due to start turning onshore soon (in 7 hours), and they appear to have lost control of cooling, with a real explosion in reactor 2 (eg not the same as 1 or 3). Add to that the spent fuel ponds are at risk if everyone has to evacuate because the the breach in containment in No.2. It's officially hitting 'oh shit' levels now. |

I would like all of you to embrace this information calmly. These are readings taken near the area where we believe that the release of radioactive substances is occurring. The further away you get from the power plant or reactor the value should go down". 0306: Winds over the stricken nuclear plant are blowing slowly towards the Kanto region, which includes Tokyo, Reuters reports. 0303: Radiation is 400 times the annual legal limit near Fukushima's reactor 3, the Kyodo news agency reports. 0256: Apologies for the delay with updating - this was due to technical problems. 0241: And Mr Kan also confirms earlier reports that a fire has broken out at Fukushima's reactor 4. |
