Whatever the outcome, this is a total ing disaster. Can't imagine what they're going through :(
I keep thinking about the poor bastards working at the plant trying to control it...must be terrifying.

Guy who designs rods is on CNN and says through his own sources he's learned the radiation is so high they have had to remove the other personnel so there's prob no one in there to help work on keeping it cool which is why it's all going downhill.

Can someone explain to me why anyone thought after Chernobyl that building nuclear power plants was still a good idea? They are on an island surrounded by water... can't they utilize that in some way? Wind turbines? I just don't understand why they chose to use the most dangerous form of energy production in an area that is so disaster prone.
I don't get it.

That's a fantastic idea, why don't they just stick up 10000+ wind turbines in it's place. Theresa saves the day again!

God.... your idiocy blows me away sometimes. I love how you just thrive off of making ridiculous assumptions in order to make yourself look smarter and belittle other people. Well done :) Feel better about your pathetic existence now?
There are a lot of other ways to generate power that are far safer than nuclear power, I named a couple. Not that it's relevant anyway.
It just doesn't make sense as to why they chose nuclear power when it seems like a rather stupid decision for their location.

Chernobyl and Three Mile Island both happened mainly due to human error.

You could even line them up along the coast and blow tsunamis back from the shore.

Ah!
I see we've once again crossed the w-ahsley event horizon.

They don't have any natural resource and have decided to use nuclear power to be less dependent on oil. While adding wind farms isn't a bad option it wouldn't be enough. The problem was they had insufficient safe guards. With nuclear power there is a small margin for error. Btw, I wouldn't be to eager to see what would happen in California with a similar size earthquake.
