Anyway, I'll really miss him. I suppose it's too much to hope that it's permanent.

I think it's two days in the box.

I don't understand why he didn't just issue a mea cupla and have a good laugh. He just kept going like an unstoppable rebel force, even though he was stripped naked and peed on. And, finally crushed under the density which is Sofa King.

Quite impressive, really.

Is that what Sofa King told you, Loveseat King?

And to think I almost was going to go to Japan in the summer.

Reuters just flashed awhile ago that the roof of reactor of #4 is cracked (it's also shutdown, correct?), and that two workers are missing after the explosion at #4 earlier.

It's going to be fascinating to get the full breakdown of wtf is going on there when this is all finally finished.

**gblowfish** · 03-15-2011, 02:59 PM

I'll bet a lot of good men will die trying to cool this SOB down, just like the Russian firemen died at Chernobyl. Radiation is nothing to play around with.

It's quite simple to avoid, really: don't be a dumbass.

Yes, 4 is shut down. Only 1, 2 and 3 were operating at the time of the earthquake. They successfully SCRAMmed. 4, 5 and 6 were offline. 4 was down for maintenance. I don't know specifically why 5 and 6 were down.

4 is where the spent fuel is stored, apparently, or at least some of it.

My assumption is that a crack in the roof of reactor 4 isn't particularly dangerous/problematic at this point, but I could be wrong, especially since there was a vague reference to problems with the cooling systems at 5 and 6.

Seriously, the whole plant is f'ed. I don't know how 50 guys can keep up with the cascading failures...

Rams Fan · 03-15-2011, 03:06 PM

The workers that are at the plant right now should receive a ton of awards, whether they are dead or not, and their families should get some money, too.

No, it isn't. One of the first men to die of radiation poisoning, a guy named Slotin who worked on the Manhattan Project, reported that he tasted metal in his mouth and felt "pins and needles" all over his body. The body responds in a strange (almost instant severe vomiting) and then the body fills with fluid. Not a pleasant way to go.

Slotin was actually performing criticality experiments at the time. Two sub-critical pieces that he was keeping apart with a fucking screwdriver. Something happened and the two pieces got too close and went prompt critical. Believe or not, he removed the two pieces with his bare hands. He died a week later.
