Re: Nuclear Meltdown?
Guys are back in again. You would think they had enough on their plates without doing the hokey cokey as well.

They are also now saying there is damage to the containment on reactor 3, as well as reactor 2. Reactor 3 is the one with the MOX, although there are differing stories about if its actually loaded or not.

Good old BBC News mate. They were show images of steam or smoke billowing from one the reactors and announced that, according to the company involved, that they had withdrawn all their men as it was no longer safe.... then came back 30min later and said the men had gone back in again !

I'm looking at the BBC site and they are still running with the staff withdrawn angle.

Re: Nuclear Meltdown?
Bob the Builder would be the best bet, they're going to have to pour shitloads of concrete over these reactors, they may as well stop fannying around with seawater and boric acid and get on with it.
