Mars 2011: Kärnkraftverket i Fukushima - utbruten och sammanfogad tråd

--Despite the projection by its own safety engineers that the older assumptions might be mistaken, Tokyo Electric was not breaking any Japanese nuclear safety regulation by its failure to use its new research to fortify Fukushima Daiichi, --

--In fact, Japan's NSC had concluded in 1992 that it was important for nuclear plant operators to have access to key gauges and instruments even in the kind of crisis that had not happened then. But it left plans on how to implement that policy entirely to the plant operators.
In the Fukushima accident, most meters and gauges were taken out by the loss of power in the early days of the crisis.
That left a pair of workers in a white Prius to race into the plant to get radiation readings with a handheld device in the early days of the crisis, according to Tokyo Electric.
They could have used robots to go in.
Immediately after the tsunami, a French firm with nuclear expertise shipped robots for use in Fukushima, a European nuclear expert said. The robots are built to withstand high radiation.
But Japan, arguably the country with the most advanced robotics industry, stopped them from arriving in Fukishima, saying such help could only come through government channels, said the expert who asked not to be identified so as not to appear critical of Japan in a moment of crisis.

Och var i helvete är Tepcos VD Shimizu?

"In normal times, Masataka Shimizu lives in The Tower, a luxury high-rise in the same upscale Tokyo district as the U.S. Embassy. But he hasn’t been there for more than two weeks, according to a doorman.--"

Följande skulle har hänt länge sedan

1) Tepco förstatligas
2) Japan ber FN/IAEA on all möjlig teknisk hjälp
3) Så många stavar som möjlig flyttas från områden


Anledning att Chernobyl gick som det gick var att det var i en komunistisk land som slängde resurser på problemet (över 200,000 personal jobbade för att rädda Chernobyl situationen).

Hantering av hela detta situationen har varit felaktig från början (design och byggnad, att det var inte nerlagt länge sedan som obsolete design, att TEPCO inte tappade sin mandat tidigare efter flera andra allvarliga problem, att dom fick använder MOX i så pass gammal konstruktioner, att dom hade brist på redundans, att dom inte drog fram elen tidigare, att dom inte begärde riktig hjälp tidigare, att dom har kontinuerligt cherrypicked data att släppa osv osv osv...)
