Fire has been discovered.... strange way of putting that, I think.

If the cooling system is fried and nobody seems capable of keeping this water running, what's the end game? They're not going to be able to keep that water constantly surrounding the core, etc, etc... This seems to be a losing battle they're waging here.

I think that now would be the perfect time to take over Japan if one were so inclined. Do they have anything we want - like besides their nuclear power capabilities?

The impression I was getting was that even in a few days/weeks, these were all still going to be putting off enough heat to make this entire affair impossible to contain.

I know this has probably been said before, but this helped me have a better understanding about why and how the nuclear reactors failed to cool down:

CNN update. Not much "new" news.
[6:24 p.m. ET Tuesday, 5:24 a.m. Wednesday in Tokyo] Some context for the new fire in the Fukushima Diiachi nuclear power plant's Reactor 4 building: This is that building's second fire in two days. The first fire, discovered Tuesday in a cooling pond used for nuclear fuel, coupled with Tuesday's explosion at the plant's No. 2 reactor, briefly pushed radiation levels at the plant to about 167 times the average annual dose of radiation, according to details released by the International Atomic Energy Agency. This chased all but a handful of workers from the site and raised fears of a far more dangerous radiation threat. Tuesday's dose would quickly dissipate with distance from the plant, and radiation quickly fell back to levels where it posed no immediate public health threat, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said. The affect that Wednesday's fire was having on radiation levels and information about the fire's cause weren't immediately available. About 200,000 people living within a 12.4-mile radius of the plant have long been evacuated. Three explosions and two fires have now been reported in various reactor buildings in the past five days.

There's some speculation that they can't fight the fire due to radiation levels, so they're bringing in helicopters. That's not confirmed by anyone though. |
