Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
When offsite power is cut of off, the emergency generators start automatically, and the six-unit plant had something like 13 generators. However, then the tsunami hit and took those out.
Tsunami proof generators seems to be the next order of business.
Thanks, Ginger. That was really helpf and made total sense to me who knows nothing about this sort of stuff.

The new designs feed cooling water by gravity. I wonder if any of them will be built after this.
The poor Deputy Cabinet Secretary for Public Relations has been tweeting for days. I think he just nods off for an hour or so and goes back to it.
Thank you, Ginger.
Ginger, I should probably know this, but...do you/did you used to work in nuclear science?
I'm going to believe she did. Otherwise, she's THE PRETENDER.
BTW, Ginger your calm assessments are keeping me from freaking the fuck out. Thank you.
A tiny bit of good news: it does look like they've gotten the Unit 4 fire out.
I wouldn't want to second guess anyone in such a situation, but I wish they had accepted help from other countries when it was first offered.
I worked eight years for a nuclear utility and eight years for the industry-funded watchdog group. I've been part of dozens of emergency drills. In order to get to this level of emergency in a drill, we used to have to make up all kinds of unlikely things: a plane hit the plant, and 10 valves failed, and a worker was trapped and, and.... It's just surreal to see all these things actually happening.

So who else went "I love my classes/Got a crazy teacher/He wears dark glasses..."
on second thought, maybe I do need to be freaking the fuck out.
