Yes, it was not radiation related. He was only realted by being a plant worker.

Err, FoxNews has been running neck-and-neck with MSNBC regarding the sensationalist reporting of the nuke story, so its not really fair to focus hatred just at the greens here.Skipjack wrote:Of course all the green party nutbags are having a field day.
I understood your complaint to be that the leftist media is running wild with this, and MSNBC vs FoxNews seems very relevant to that that assertion. As does DrudgeReport vs Huffington Post if you take it to further extremes.Skipjack wrote:Maui, I have never said that Fox news is doing a better story than MSNBC...
I haven't heard a good systemic explanation for what the hell is going on here. They've clearly got mobile power online by now, so why are all of the primary cooling loops failing one after another?Serious damage to the reactor core of Fukushima Daiichi 2 seems likely after coolant was apparently lost for a period.
Tokyo Electric Power Company announced earlier today that unit 2's reactor core isolation cooling system had failed after an increase in pressure in the containment vessel to some 700 kPa.
The Japan Atomic Industry Forum reported back statements from the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) that describe Tepco's efforts from that point.
The company prepared to pump seawater into the reactor system, but this was only started "after the water level reached the top of the fuel." The water level continued to drop and Tepco then began preparations to open a valve to vent the containment vessel.
At 8.50pm Tepco told NISA that it presumed some of the fuel rods were broken, based on radiation detected in the environment.
If I read right, at least one of these was to be retired next month.[/quote]Four cores in fewer days have fallen over, and are not producing electricity, and probably won't ever again. Even if we scrub out the N word, that is still a very bad thing in and of itself.
You are completely failing to understand the situation. The powerplant was probably among the savest and least damaged buildings in the area. In fact, it was probably saver to be in the plant than anywhere else at the time the quake and then the Tsunami struck. Considering that thousands of people died in the area surrounding the plants and entire cities were leveled as if in a nuclear blast, I think it is amazing that the plants were in the good condition that they were in. After all the quake was 8 times as strong as the strongest earthquake anyone could ever imagine to hit Japan and almost 10 times as strong as the strongest earth quake that ever hit Japan since records began.Ultimately BWRs are supposed to produce electricity. Four cores in fewer days have fallen over, and are not producing electricity, and probably won't ever again. Even if we scrub out the N word, that is still a very bad thing in and of itself.
