  • I think it is cruel they should be resettling people letting the start again rather than cling to tepcos false words

  • I don't know what the solution should be but this is another example of a corporation dictating to a government

  • @Nancy, @dean I had to run errants. Sorry for not replying faster. In this Oyster Creek schema the tanks of the ISOLATION CONDENSER are labelled 10. One should be able to see those tanks through the blown out panels: photozou.jp

  • @Peter Melzer got back, was off eating. Let me go look but I think I have photos of IC equipment. Is there a unit specifically that is in question? I didn't know if it was unit 1 or if the claims were that all at Fuku lacked the IC?

  • @elainekirk I was just watching that one. Wish they would have gone up on the hill beside them. Could have gotten a better idea where the water is vs. the water dams against the main building.
    by lillymunster 6/20/2011 1:04:46 AM

  • I was struck by how hard it is going to be to get help in if needed

  • Tepco report reveals lack of preparedness
    New timeline details early days of crisis
    Monday, June 20, 2011
    By REIJI YOSHIDA
    Staff writer
    Tokyo Electric Power Co. has released a 41-page timeline detailing its initial actions in the first days of the Fukushima nuclear plant crisis, and experts said it reveals a lack of preparedness and severe difficulty in coping with the world's worst atomic accident since the 1986 Chernobyl meltdown.

    According to Tepco, plant director Masao Yoshida ordered staff to prepare to lower the pressure in reactor No. 1 by venting steam from its containment vessel at 12:06 a.m. on March 12, more than eight hours after the 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunamic knocked out power to the plant and triggered the crisis.

    But Tepco's records, released Saturday, show it did not have crisis-management manuals that detailed the procedure for manually opening the valves in the event of full power loss.

    Only after the situation had turned into a full-blown crisis did Tepco send workers into a quake-damaged building at the compound to grab the documents needed to check the design and other specifications of the release valve to see if it could be opened manually.

    At that point, Tepco learned that the valve actually had a handle for doing exactly that, the utility said in the report...

  • These tanks are considered part of the Isolation Cooling System which is part of the Reactor Protection System according to here: en.wikipedia.org
