Ah titty fuck!!
yeah I always forget about corruption
Something has to, no world wars for a while.
Just think about this mess.
If the radiation contaminates North Japan, all those people along with the people who were near the coast who likely won’t want to rebuild there will have to move south, over populating an already packed area.
I’ll be 100% honest, I’m fascinated by the shit, and would quit and work for a NPP in a heartbeat. But when it comes right down to it, eventually i’d get a lazy streak and end up jerking off to the NWS thread and short the control panel and BOOM. Oops.
:rofl
I’m personally hoping that the radiation skips japan, and gets china and the middle east hardcore. I put a fan on my roof this morning pointed in that general direction. I’ll report back tonight.
Brings a whole new meaning to “Not work safe” :rofl
Its funny, as much as I think 2012 being a crock of shit…
Yeah fuck China, bunch of commies
and they make cheap shit!!!
Shift518 IS the internet. Everything else is non-relevant.
If the Northeast turns into a desert, Im all for it.
Fuck, Ill even paint my truck chrome if that happens.
Hindsight is always 20/20, I am no expert and this is just my opinion… But considering the plant itself structurally and from an operational standpoint, the units did what they were supposed to do.
When I say structurally, I mean that nothing broke as a direct result of the earthquake. And the units that were not already shut down tripped and the right mechanisms were in place to apply cooling.
One major oversight (that I pointed out a few pages ago) has little to do with nuclear power but everything to do with planning for emergency countermeasures, etc- the emergency diesel generators to supply power for the cooling systems should NOT have been located in an area where they would have been susceptible to even a 35+ foot wave.
Some reasons/logic:
-
Any earthquake causing acceleration of the unit to the extent that the unit would trip is going to be serious
-
If this earthquake is the type that causes one side of the fault to move vertically with respect to the other (as in this case), a massive tsunami will be generated (as in this case)
-
The entire plant and diesel generators are so close to the water that in the event of the above, the backup is compromised
All the different types of issues that occurred started with the inability to remove the coolant. This invariably led to the evaporation of coolant above fuel rods, increase of pressure within primary CV, sheath of Zirc around fuel rods being exposed etc etc. Basically almost every problem.
If the emergency diesel generators were placed, say far enough inland (although given the relatively low power output it may not be realistic since there will be a ton of loss in the lines), or perched way up high somewhere, where they could have kept working, there would be no cooling related issues.
One could argue though that such an elevated structure could have been impacted by the earthquake, but it could be done, especially by the Japanese.
HOLY FUCK IM AN IDIOT.
Glad to see you back in here buddy. You weren’t over there at the time were ya?
They should fill the airplanes with tit dirt and sprinkle THAT on there!
that’s not Mickey Mouse.
Nah it wouldnt be that extreme but we’d here would see more 100*+ days during the summer and more -20* days during the winter
THATS JUST TIT DIRT.
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…
My older Sister lives in Mie. Other than the 6.2 aftershock, she didn’t feel anything. She’s ok from my understanding. She said it’s kind of odd there. Everyone is just going on about their lives as normal.
Insane. Japanese work ethic has always been impressive.
I think I read stories about Japanese men getting up and putting a suit on even though they were laid off or fired from their jobs so not to disgrace the family. Or something of that nature. Sorry if I misconstrued it.
