you haven't been watching the news have you??

they have been going back and fourth since the start of the plant going to shit. they said it was under control for the first week, then it went to bad for a week, then good, then it has continued to be in horrible condition.

I thought since USA went to Japan things would start getting better, but it seems to be in a very bad position.

I've been watching. U don't understandt my conlusion. We, normally people who aren't specialist of nuclear energy, couldn't rating situation in Japan. It is intent of sciencist.

we sent 1 specialist... as to where everywhere else sent full teams

The main hold-up is that Japan's government isn't acknowledging just how bad the situation is, so legally we can't just send in our teams and do whatever we want to resolve the issue. It's not like we have universal permission to do whatever we want on the soil of any of our allied countries. Our help has to specifically be requested, and they didn't request help with the nuclear situation.

havent been following this since right after the start, but i recall the media stating that a private company was assessing the risk instead of the government assuming responsibility. what that might actually mean imo is that the japanese govt is using this private company to take the fall. meaning the situation could've be pretty damn bad from the get-go. the fact that they released 10,000 tons of radioactive wastewater into the ocean is one indicator.

10,000 or 100,000 tons of gallons, i dont remember.

all japanese nuclear reactors are privately run, but they are supposed to be audited and held to an appropriate safety standard

fuck the "watching" the new i'd rather read it. i watch fox new about month ago there was some "sciencetist" saying that it was no real threat and they were over reacting to the problem LOL...
