But this latest incident in Japan sure gives one pause.

I think the significant thing is that the problem wasn't the 9.0
earthquake, it was the tsunami. That makes most of the US
reactors
somewhat immune to the biggest problem.

It does highlight how vulnerable the cooling systems are to
unexpected
second order effects. The Japanese had diesel generators for
backup
power and then the diesels got knocked out by the tsunami. There
are
a lot of other things that can knock out diesel generators
however.
The track record of standby diesels performing reliably in an
emergency is spotty at best. It takes an extremely rigorous
maintenance and testing regime starting with fuel storage,
filtration
practices, etc.

Why not just put a big water tank on top of the building... then
all
you need is gravity.

The size of the tank.

How big would it have to be? Seems like you could build a pretty big
one that would work for at least some period of time... long
enough to
get the backup online.

They have been pumping sea water into those reactors for days using
big barge mounted pumps and it is still hot. You are talking about a
good sized lake, not a tank.

Seems to me that if the water was released in a controlled fashion at
the beginning of the problem, there wouldn't be a requirement for that
vast an amount of water.

It "seems to you"?? Holy crap, watch a newscast before you make such a
stupid statement. You don't care about Florida, you don't care to even
inform yourself at all about the situation in Nippon, you just blather
on about Righties this and Conservatives that, and wait for someone to
follow you down your yellow brick road.. Greg is catching on, and from
what we have learned about you lately, I am sure once he stops playing
you will move along, change your handle and infect some other group...
Pffft... Dork..

She's been spotted over on rec.boats cruising using the handle Jessica
B. What a dope.

I've been trying to "spot" a decent boating-related post from you. Can't
seem to find any. So, whose sock puppet are you?

Paul,
I've been trying to "spot" a decent boating-related post from you. Can't

That is the Pedophile Harry Krause of Rosedale Lane, Huntington
Maryland... Harry Krause is the biggest liar ever in rec boats with
whoppers about Yale degrees, triple doctorate wives, trips across the
Atlantic in a small skiff to a fireboat welcome... and literally,
hundreds if not thousands of lies about posters and others here over the
years. This guy is probably not allowed out of his basement prison where
he makes up fantasies about others wives and children including support
for NAMBLA and their sick ideas of "loving" children. It's the reason
his own children spirited themselves and their own children from him
over a decade ago.... The guy is a creeper, best ignored..

You will notice he will attack me and a few others here 40 or more times
a day because he is a coward and can't confront anybody face to face,
but here is my daily address of him
