@elainekirk the past couple of days completely changed the scenario. We went from hope of flooding or continued watering as a slow cool down (as a best case scenario) to a 3 are toast and 3 may be going critical again. This has the potential to continue to release significant numbers for a long time. It just became everyone's business.by Nancy 5/15/2011 10:17:37 PM
@Angie Yesby Veenie 5/15/2011 10:18:13 PM
@WolfDK true & for 3 at least that seems consistent with the post below but ??'TEPCO thinks there’s a problem with the pipes that feed water into the RPV'.
by youby UKVal 5/15/2011 10:18:54 PM- @bo I wondered how much of this was an issue when they started talking about how intertwined TEPCo was into pension funds and such. Didn't know there was a US tie into it until now. The US markets were/are a complete farce. Our entire economy almost collapsed overnight due to big banks playing games. If one company failing risks economies in multiple countries we are doing it all wrong.by Nancy 5/15/2011 10:19:17 PM
@Veenie Well fingers crossed it will be uploaded to youtube then. I havent been able to find it on there yet.
by Angie 5/15/2011 10:19:21 PM- @Angie It's against Rules, only after Air Time can it be released if at allby Veenie 5/15/2011 10:20:00 PM
@nancy we can hope but suppose diplomatic channels quite sluggishby elainekirk 5/15/2011 10:20:16 PM- @Nancy - I think the economic stakes for Japan are bigger than just TEPCO going bustby UKVal 5/15/2011 10:21:33 PM
@Angie aahha.. Tonight is 2 one hour shows 1 is Megaquake: Hour that shook Japan and the 2nd is Emergency in Fukushima. yea, probably all old, takes time to make tv show vs.blog real time.by RBeaner 5/15/2011 10:21:58 PM
Unfortunately..the world has invested too much in nuclear and hasn't invested in green safe energy. This is what happens when you put too many eggs in one basket!by LM 5/15/2011 10:23:24 PM- @Veenie *sigh* well Nancy will have to watch it then! there was a interview witha US worker who was at the plant and he said he saw a crack in a reactor building before they were evacuated due to the wave. I@RBeaner watch it then there wasnt much I didnt already know but it was interesting none the less and they said about workers going into the reactors.by Angie 5/15/2011 10:23:27 PM
- -- sorry pressed enter too soon, .. I think all western economies ae so fragile at present, oil prices so volatile & markets so jittery that anything could happenby UKVal 5/15/2011 10:23:30 PM
@Nancy I agree, we are doing it all wrong. But it is easy to see that the "stabilize the economy" meme is more compelling to our leaders, partly because they believe that is somewhere that they have power and ability, so that is where they focus.by bo 5/15/2011 10:23:57 PM- I think events over the last few years have shown the moral bankruptcy of capitalism -& I didn't start off as a socialistby UKVal 5/15/2011 10:25:31 PM
- Unfortunately, poisoning a populace doesn't make long term economic sense either. Hopefully they won't be too late in realizing that.by LM 5/15/2011 10:25:33 PM
@LM
Politics is a short sighted game. That is one reason that the world is in its current state.by bo 5/15/2011 10:27:31 PM
@RBeaner, hmm only part 1 Megaquake have been aired in Denmark, part 2 is not even on the weekly schedule..by WolfDK 5/15/2011 10:27:33 PM

by bo 5/15/2011 10:28:10 PM- So trying to sort out posts. Is there an interview with that US plant worker in one of those TV shows? What one and what network is it on? I can DVR it and skip through to find it.by Nancy 5/15/2011 10:28:13 PM
- UKVal It's pretty much blasphemous to say that here in the US and I agree with you!by LM 5/15/2011 10:28:23 PM

- @Nancy Its the doco I was talking about last night Veen has found when it is play there.by Angie 5/15/2011 10:29:04 PM
- @LM I know socialist is a dirty word in the US! It almost is here these daysby UKVal 5/15/2011 10:29:14 PM
- @Angie any idea of the name or what network was playing it?by Nancy 5/15/2011 10:29:32 PM
- @LM and @UKVal there is a time and a place for capitalism, and health care and power generation are neither the time nor place.by bo 5/15/2011 10:30:07 PM
- @Bo I agree with you. I think there can be a healthy blend.by LM 5/15/2011 10:31:01 PM
- The trouble is the systems, whether in a nuclear reactor, economic, or geo-political ones have an inescapable logic of their own, everyone is caught, even those in powerby UKVal 5/15/2011 10:31:55 PM

Sat, May 21 11:00AM Here is Australia it played on the discoervey channel @Rbeaner should be able to help, he said it was playing tonight. Need him to tell you what time and where to watch it.by Angie 5/15/2011 10:32:22 PM - @bo agree with you about health care, power & I would add water & social care (about which I care greatly)by UKVal 5/15/2011 10:32:57 PM
- In the US it is against the law for a corporation to take a step that is against the bottom line. This creates a very predatory competition between players, ensuring the most predatory and brutal will prevail.by bo 5/15/2011 10:33:04 PM
- @bo also in the UK - shareholfers rule - the inescapable logic againby UKVal 5/15/2011 10:33:49 PM
- @UKVal I agree completely. The social good should not be a place of profit. It is fine for restaurants to compete against each other, but things that everyone needs such as water, power, health care, and certainly social care
should be the business of government.by bo 5/15/2011 10:34:54 PM - @bo Probably should go on other board...we can definitely add education to the list, as public education here in the US is quickly becoming a haves versus havenots scenario. It needs to be equal!by LM 5/15/2011 10:35:52 PM
- @bo In the UK the government is privatising social care for all its worth & threatening to effectively do the same for health careby UKVal 5/15/2011 10:36:09 PM
- @LM and @UKVall agree completely. But I haven't had my morning coffee yet! brbby bo 5/15/2011 10:37:12 PM
- @LM true bo -we either move over or cease this convoby UKVal 5/15/2011 10:37:18 PM
- Back to Fuku!by LM 5/15/2011 10:37:50 PM
@LM ok, but ... fuku is gone. pointscope01.jp
