Does that wall look lifted up from the floor to you?

@lilly.. most sumps or "wet wells" are solid concrete and if it was seperated in the EQ it would show like that

@ lilly .. I think that tsumani wiped out the screens/filters and could have done just that ...

@lilly.. right.... they probably tried to operate the system after the motor was repaired and piping but the way they start those systems up.. they throttle the discharge valve then start the pump to get the water lifted up the multiple stages until the suction is good then then outlet pressure comes up and then they open the discharge valve to provide the flow

the screens lower down into the intake concrete water intake and they usually slide down in cut out channels,, backed with steel corners.. then slide them in .. that way the screens can be lifted and cleaned out..

I gathered that the power supply had to be switched from below also which meant that the conduits normally feeding power were probably ruined so new temp power had to be run to the temporary pumps and then to the normal pumps

@lilly.. I need to head to appointment,,, will return... my big test in the morning on nuc test for heart.. glad that Edano was here to lend some good words... see ya later

ty @lilly..

Radiation research suggested as way to keep released livestock near nuclear plant alive mdn.mainichi.jp

Nuclear accident could raise power cost by 1 yen

Japan's Atomic Energy Commission says a nuclear accident could raise the cost of power generation by up to 1 yen per kilowatt-hour, but the total cost would still be lower than other forms of power generation.

The commission released on Tuesday new estimates on the cost of nuclear power generation calculated by a research panel set up in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi accident.

The estimates cover the costs that would stem from a serious nuclear accident and include outlays for evacuation, compensation and decommissioning of reactors.

But the panel says spending for cleaning radiation-contaminated areas and the long-term storage of radioactive debris was not included.

Based on the Fukushima crisis, the panel says the damage cost of a future nuclear plant accident will be more than 3.8 billion yen, or about 51 billion dollars.

This could raise the cost of power generation by up to 1 yen, or about 1.3 cents, per kilowatt-hour.

The report concludes that nuclear power generation costs can be calculated as from 6 to 7 yen, or about 8 to 9 cents, per kilowatt hour, and that this is still cheaper than other sources of energy.

But one member of the panel insisted that the damage cost estimates are too low, and that total losses would be about 12 times higher if decontamination spending is included. But the panel did not adopt his calculation.

even 20 nuclear accidents fuku style in all corners of japan would only cost 20 yen per kwh. that's cheap, let's go on.

@Edano :-)

but maybe that is how they calculate evac zones. they stop when they reach 1 yen per kwh.

There was a local area somewhere, they estimated $6 a month extra to not have nuclear power. Sounds like some cheap insurance to me. I would pay it
