Japan hit by massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake

No. Thankfully, my in-laws and friends there are fine. Some of our office buildings and parts of factories may be damaged from the earthquake. Some of my colleagues there have already returned to work (!!!) despite not having had water and gas for the past 5-6 days.

If there is anything the Japanese have it is an undeterred discipline and ability to accept the hardship and then move on. This is sad and tragic but I know the country will make it through.

I can give many examples, but one of them is that even when much of Tokyo was leveled in WWII, the trains were set up and running (albeit with limited service) within 36 hours. People could not stand to sit at home idle and most went back to work even though they were not going to be paid (or even if the boss was missing / dead), rebuilding whatever they could just to restore what was left.

I am on the road though and am in the US- am actually sitting in a power plant as I type this.

This one runs on coal though, one unit is running, one is down right now and I got my boys here taking measurements on it…

Rollin deep with your crew, ya buddy

Question:

In all the diagrams of these reactors, I don’t see the actual power generation part. Is that located in another building?
