I'm waiting for the damage assessment for Dai-Ichi. And not a lying press release from TEPCO.

Trouble with Dai-ni's cooling system is real great news. :rolleyes:

That is the sister plant to the meltdown plant from 2011.

http://img.4plebs.org/boards/pol/image/1479/76/1479768658228.png

NOT accurate, and I made the same mistake earlier.

The cooling system failure is at DAI-NI ("Number Two") NOT DAI-ICHI ("Number One"), the plant with meltdowns in 2011. Fukushima has two plants each with multiple reactors.

So, we have the possibility of a SECOND nuclear power plant meltdown.
