[QUOTE="Stuart Høgg, post: 24095, member: 148"] Re: Attempting to bring clarity to the nuclear problems facing Japan Phil - an excellent write up which deserves far wider distribution than this little corner of the internet, especially given some of the alarmist nonsense being published in the mainstream media. (The headline of one of my local papers yesterday read "Third Nuke Blast Sparks Panic") One thing I'm struggling to get my head round is why it isn't possible to have diesel engines that can survive immersion. If they have been physically destroyed or carried away by the wave, then that's one thing. But if they are still physically intact, just swamped, that's surely something that can be worked around? I know that diesel-electric submarines have diesel engines which presumably survive prolonged immersion, then run again when the sub resurfaces. Adopting similar technology might enable the pumps to survive the wave or storm surge? [/QUOTE]
