[QUOTE="Charlie Zureki, post: 24104, member: 153"] Re: Attempting to bring clarity to the nuclear problems facing Japan Hello, I believe that there's more to the story than the Diesel Engines were swamped. I'm guessing that damage to the support equipment to and from these Engines were/are the problem. According to the initial News reports, the Earth had shifted up to 1 meter in some places. Piping, plumbing, Evac Pumps, Conduit, support bridging, all could have been shifted, breaking the connections to the make-up water, the Diesel fuel for the Engines, Electrical and Electronic control lines, check valves, flange connections, etc... The area directly above one of the reactor's containment vessel was used to store spent rods. One of the earliest explosions sent these rods, hundreds (if not thousands) of meters into the sky. The proper information regarding these system malfunctions and Dangers have not been faithfully reported to the civilians. They have not been eager to supply the citizens with Iodine pills, although, some have been receiving the pills it is sparingly. Many Countries have been sending their "experts" to aid the Japanese....but, Politics or lack of, have been gumming up the works. The US Government has been "closed-mouthed" about the situation, and the Military has maintained that it's not a major problem...yet. Some News sources have been reporting that these "Reactors are in the process of complete Meltdowns". I've also heard reports of hundreds already dying of Radiation Poisoning. I wish the Japanese, the best of luck. Hammer [/QUOTE]
