maybe they send the trainee out to the vessels with a thermometer and a list ... :)

the probably send the trainee back on that one parameter too @ Edano..."go back you have wrong number it doesn't match the other ones - yes sir"
by dean 10/9/2011 5:52:22 PM

"this is the number we're looking for on that one.. hurry before you miss lunch"

i always send my trainees to the basement where the spiders live.... ;)

@Edano We visited a castle last year where the guide waited till we were in the dungeons before mentioning the spiders I will never ever forgive him

@Edano We had rats, big rats in the costume storage when I worked at the college. We sent first year students to go pull stock. :-)

@Liz edano is being cruel to me I shall give him earl grey

@Edano.. perfect little radiation monitor... and temperature probes on his legs... then turn him loose in the building.. oh don't forget the video camera and radiation mask

@Liz I suppose we should hope that it never gets finished
by elainekirk 10/9/2011 6:42:14 PM

Bulgaria is one of the poorest countries but somehow they can afford to spend 5 billion on that plant. It dont make sense.
by Liz 10/9/2011 6:44:36 PM

@Liz , if you have ever seen pictures of the canals in Saigon, the idea of a nuclear power plant nearby lets your hair stand up.

Lord help us. Did i read that right? Prof. Phat admitted that the country’s human resources are totally not up to the task of building a nuclear power plant.
"The hiring of senior foreign consultants for the project will not effectively address this weakness, Prof. Phat said, because “if our head is ‘empty,’ we will not know what issues we need these consultants to help us with.”
by Liz 10/9/2011 6:55:33 PM

there is a big move to equip poorer countries with nukes totally barmy
by elainekirk 10/9/2011 6:56:49 PM

it is very shortsighted to go on constructing nukes. by the time they are ready we will have sufficient renewable energy.
by Edano 10/9/2011 7:00:24 PM

but, as we know, there is more to nukes than only power. it's a political thing and the access to nuclear weapons.

@edano , I saw the discussion on electronic data collection, and I was also wondering why they had written the plant parameters on white boards in the first days of the crisis. The answer I found later is that the operators seem to be able to fully control the reactors only from the control rooms that are adjacent to the reactor buildings. Those were blacked out after the emergency diesels quit. Vital plant parameter data is normally relayed to headquarters in the quake-proof building back on the hill which served as emergency command center. That is where the station superintendent is stationed. Because of an almost complete breakdown of communications between the control rooms and the emergency center, the operators in the control rooms had to read plant parameters by flashlight and phone them back to the plant superintendent and his staff. This explains in good part why early on stats were recorded hardcopy. When the rad levels in the control rooms rose above admissible levels, there was no data at all until levels returned below the limits. Control rooms should not be built nearest reactors.

@Edano the power companies everywhere should be told that any nukes running after such and such a date are their sole responsibility along with any damage they cause and they should also have insurance
by elainekirk 10/9/2011 7:03:07 PM

@Edano , it is. And it should be possible to harden vital communication links.

@elainekirk, look what i just came across. I didnt know this.

@edano, imagine little people in white suits and gas masks hurrying in and out buildings in the dark under the threat of aftershocks and new tsunamis with flashlights and clipboards under their arms! Adventurous to say the least.
