Just spoken to the woman, apparently its already 'hit' San Fran but was only 10cm deep by then so that's a relief. Thoughts go out now to everyone affected by it. Scary, scary stuff.
 
Check she's meaning the tsunami there lid.

Watched it on the news. Horrid. You can't comprehend something on the scale of that.

Surely that's not innuendo in a thread about a tsunami?!

But yeah, when I say it was 10cm that's how much reached the shore apparently. I don't really know, she wasn't making much sense (no change there). But essentially they're fine so it's all gravy.
 

The Tokyo Electric Power Company has said the cooling systems of three reactors at second nuclear power plant, Fukushima-Daini, are malfunctioning, according to the Kyodo news agency. The plant is 11km (7 miles) to the south of Fukushima-Daiichi, where the cooling system one of its reactors is not working and pressure is rising.

More from the Tokyo Electric Power Company: It says the ability to control pressure in some of the reactors at Fukushima-Daini has been lost. Pressure is stable inside the reactors, but rising in the containment vessels, a company spokesman says.



When this is all sorted that company is going to get sued.

Do you think so? It said that the cooling system was damaged by the earthquake mate, so I would assume there is no liability. If they tried then the force majeure card would be pulled out.

They have stationary generators. Which have been damaged causing the problem.

They should also have had pre-positioned mobile generators for such a scenario both on site and off site too.


There is no such thing as Force Majeure in the nuclear industry.

It'd be a scummy thing to do but sadly at times like these large companies tend to look towards their profits and sod everything else.

Funny in an iroonic way nuclear power had almost,almost become accteable as a power source bet people think differently now
