Fukushima

Before hurling inflammatory comments about vandalism, you can discuss the topic with the other editors. The table is specifically titled "Solutions considered or attempted", and liquid metal cooling has not be attempted nor publically considered by Tepco unless something has changed. Also in the discussion with other editors is that listing it, from only an outsider's speculation, would be to give it undue weight. Furthermore, I said I had no objection to it being int he article, but it didn't belong on the chart itself. But if you had bothered to look first, you would have known all of this.

From my point of view, the section is named "Solutions considered or attempted", not "Solutions considered or attempted by Tepco". If Japan authorities were informed by Chernobyl specialists via Embassy, then this option was CONSIDERED. If one claims that this option was not considered AT ALL in the present situation, than he assumes complete irresponsibility of Japanese government, NISA, TEPCO, etc. So let's assume that this option was CONSIDERED but REJECTED by them for some reasons.

From my point of view, this rejection was a big error: given they accepted it 2 weeks ago, the nuclear reaction would be stopped by now (as it was stopped within 2 weeks in Chernobyl in much worse situation (worse damage to fuel rods + higher total mass of fuel (per one reactor)). Instead, they are still spraying water which produces radiactive aerosols (with vapour) and drives radiactive waste into the ground (to the see), needless to mention new hydrogen explosion danger!

The fact that Japanese do not use Chernobyl experience is ridiculous and smells badly. Even if they were not contacted by Ukranian scientists, they were obliged to look for the help from Chernobyl specialists. Chernobyl experience is paid by the lifes of scientists who developed "lead-boron carbide-dolomite mixtures" on the reactor cite. It is foolish not to use it now. Especially in the situation when Japanese themselves funky run away from radiation levels hundred times lower than in Chernobyl.

Whatever are the reasons for it, the *very fact of this ignorance* should be published and made known to everybody who questions the effectivity of what Japanese are doing now in Fukushima. This knowledge can prompt people (who are in a position to decide smth) to press authorities to proper direction and hopefully to reverse this very bad current situation.Nyra1963 (talk) 01:37, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
