@Kat TEPCO is missing, missing in action. dead, eerie quiet

@James Ward : that's why they went away that first Monday when Kan ticked out.

@Kat Seem to have some sort of blackout. Dr. Kaku was saying disaster ahead. Some maybe cooked up numbers. That's about it.

ah ok, glad it's not just me, thanks

OTOH reuters censored my observation that it seems China was jumping at the opportunity to make Japan look bad by claiming two passengers arriving in China were highly contaminated. Anyone know what happened to that story? One passenger was from Nagano -- not very close to Fukushima.

Does anybody believe this Tepco press release? It is not credible.

Sorry, posting a quote of it here: Press Release (Mar 26,2011)

In a perfect world, George

@James Ward I don't think they have much of a clue as to what's happening. That scares me more than anything. Confused bosses, exhausted workers and nuclear disaster. an unholy mix

Thank you Matsuoko. I will read more carefully before posting next time. I'm just in a state of hyper-alarm and not as thoughtful/diligent as one should normally be.

@Marie, yes, I kknow. I live part time in Hong Kong and recently toured the Naval museum there -- Japanese occupation was terrible. But this still does not justify China's lies about present day facts. We need to stop accusing others and start realizing we all share this planet and depend on each other.

ichi = one, ni = two

Oh yeah Dai-ni. It is stable.

@sky, you aren't far off tbh, the only change in Daiichi is this listed under reactor 2 -At approximately 4:46 pm on March 26nd, the light in the main control
room was turned on.

@Bobb1 Yes, they need active cooling but since reactors 5 and 6 are hooked up to the electric grid, they should be OK.

@Bobby1, if spent fuel pools need to be kept cool, I imagine cold shutdown reactors need water, too, even with control rods deployed.

Maybe it's Dean-ni?

@marie rich, obvious

I was watching the news and just thought of it..

@WolfDK ditto
