Reactors abandoned?

[tet1953]

reading through this article does not specify the last 50 have abandoned but, that the workers in charge of the plant have been evacuated.

I believe those are the same people, ak

Quote from the CNN Article from here http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/15/japan.nuclear.reactors/index.html?hpt=T1
"The number of nuclear workers who remained on site has been slashed from 800 to 50."

sorry.

maybe your own research will bring up more accurate facts.

first sentence of the article says, ....

"As the four troubled nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power complex continue to deteriorate, the news is breaking this evening that workers at Reactor #4 are being forced to abandon the site, due to the risk of extreme radiation contamination."

What is the timestamp on that article? That reduction occured like a day or two ago. Those remaining 50 have abandoned the plant is what they are reporting now.

Here's a screenshot from cnn.com. CNN on the east coast at least, is in the mode they do every night which is repeat about 2 hours of AC360. This is not live right now.

Why did they build such a large nuclear powerplant on the east coast knowing there is a whopper fault line a hundred clicks off the coast? Pritty silly if you ask me.

They didnt.

 

[akgrown]

Same thing here in San Deigo and the San Onofre Power Plant. It sits directly on the coast right over a fault.

gotta do what you gotta do.

not like they really had a lot of options. i think you need a MASS supply of water to run one of those things. the ocean is usually a good place to go for that.

 

[Richie LxP]

They didnt.

Who did then?

 

[tet1953]

Just like here, no one wants it in their back yard. So, when they do find a place where they let them put a plant, they put in six reactors.

 

[StonedPony]

Who did then?

no no.......meant they didnt ask you.......lol......they forgot.......

 

[Richie LxP]

no no.......meant they didnt ask you.......lol......they forgot.......

And look whats happening now, all they had to do was ask...

 

[tet1953]

Hey Richie, were you even born yet when it was built? Lol...just wondered. 40 years ago
