Sometimes I think you just rant away on here and have no idea what you are talking about :lol
depending on the industry backup generators need to be tested at least once a month per regulation.
oh and a cat175 is pussy. needs moar DD 16v149. The sound alone from those babies woulda scared that tsunami right back into the ocean. :rofl :rofl
here watch this!!! http://jibtv.com/program/fullscreen.aspx
fuck that, microsoft silverlight can SUCKA MY PEEPEE
^ +1
been watching this all day long for the past 2-3 days
If you go to cnn.com/live it gives you this feed
Found some satellite footage
that is devastating.
:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl THEY ARE FUCKED.
:rofl
Could someone explain to me how it’s possible ANY cooling water / even the tank is left after viewing this picture. It appears over 1/2 the building is gone. It’s reactor #3 btw.
Here is number 4:
Nah, that has likely happened before, I’ve heard of something similar. Basically, sitting at home doing jack $hit is way way frowned upon. Another quick story- this guy I know came to the US for a work assignment. He comes in the first day, wonders why everyone takes off by 5:30 PM. He’s home by 6 PM, and his wife is like “hey what are you doing here is this your day off?” and he has to sheepishly admit “well there’s no one left at the office.”
Thanks.
Ya buddy… Turbine and Generator would be in another building. For a nuke plant, the reactor creates the heat to bring the circulating water in the system to boiling. Similar to a steam power plant (where say a coal-fired boiler is the steam generator), there is a multiple stage axial flow turbine that the steam then expands through. The turbine rotor is coupled to a generator and as it turns electricity is generated. There is a lot of other auxiliary equipment but that’s the general layout.
See above.
Nagoya is like 250 miles from where the reactors are. Not that close, but not that far I guess. It’s southwest of the damaged site.
Japan is extremely conservative in terms of planning and countermeasures, not to mention upkeep and outage / inspection planning. I can tell you that here in the States utilities are fine with opening up say, a turbine every 8 or 10 years. In Japan such inspections are done usually every 2 years. What tends to happen is units here are opened up prior to their “scheduled” inspection because of something else in the plant that gets screwed up resulting in a forced outage.
Have there been issues with utilities in Japan not recording inspections properly, etc? Yeah of course. But for each incident / failed reporting / etc that has happened there, I’m sure it’s happened here (and other sites in other countries). Or worse, it wasn’t even verified. I guess my point is the design culture is so conservative there that budget is usually secondary to safety.
Cost per kW for generation in Japan is significantly higher than in the US, yet maintenance supervisors and the plant will still have outage inspections every two years, as opposed to being cowboys running the plant at elevated temperature and pressure with questionable steam purity for five or more years going “Yee hah” as the dollars pour in…
Depending on how big the plant is, one day of lost generation could be $700k here. So figure $1M a day in Japan as a conservative estimate. Yet inspection outages there are twice as frequent and usually last twice as long. Cost is definitely not a consideration.
Link?
you can find it at the cnn.com/live feed they have or the one i posted earlier. watch through the repeated footage and you’ll see it. the pics i posted above show almost the same shit.
I get that alot! :thumbup
I just founded these images. It really gives you perspective on the HOLY FUCKING SHIT effect. Can you imagine? How terrible.
Look how fucking high that wave is.
I thought that looked shopped, thanks.
Yeah, besides looking shooped the waves in the pict are about 5 times the size of the tsunami that hit them. If it were that big there wouldn’t have been a nuke plant left there to worry about.
Yeah hell that’s gotta bout 125 foot wave in that first pic. Japan wouldn’t even be on the map if that happened.
Scary thing is the pic you posted is about 15-20 feet and there were sections of the wave that were higher at the shore. Then there were areas where the wave went into a valley and was funnelled up, some ssay reaching as high as 40 feet in some of those areas.
I mean seriously, WTF do you do with a 40 foot wall of water coming at you at ~30mph aside from just completely shit yourself?
