However, because of the hydrogen production caused from boil off, the presence of specific isotopes indicating a partial meltdown, and the obvious explosion of the secondary containment, it seems clear that partal melt down has taken place.

Until you are able to take a look inside for me I think the video soeaks for itself, but I would caution you not put your dingus into any light sockets or you might wonder why you would get such a result from something you can not see.

Pretty good explanation.

All the info isn't in so he had to assume a few things. The main problem is no power to run the heat exchangers to cool the suppression pool (which is used to cool the reactor). There are high pressure pumps that run off of the reactor steam that can continue to pump coolant into the core without electricity, but if the coolant gets too hot the pumps will cavitate and become ineffective or possibly fail.

Someone is going to have to clean up that mess. That could keep me busy for a while. GF won't approve, however.

They should have had a rev limiter installed.

As you said, those are GE reactors, and his team is being asked to help. I don't know at which plant yet. For his sake, I hope it's one of the other ones.

He'd want to go to Fuku 1.

Remember the time I came back from Sweden and had to get right back on a plane for Japan. Utility didn't know why they couldn't move one of the control rods in the core. It had exploded and wedged itself between a couple of fuel bundles. I literally yanked one of the bundles loose by hand using a cable and tool we designed on the fly. Made it possible to get the other bundles out along with the damaged control rod blade.

You should try it sometime. :^)

my field. I love the trouble calls when everyone else is in a panic. I also like the ego boost of being the guy they call when no one else can figure the problem out. My field is a different sort of engineering, but the trouble calls are all the same.

In my cousins case he is excited to be part of a reaction team. But, I know he is conflicted. He loves the chase, but he has a young family now. So it's not so much about him, it's about the family.

As it is, if he had the juice to be able to ask me to go with him to help, I would jump at it. Because I'm confident that we could make things safe over there, and get them back in control with some innovative ideas.

I can't imagine your scenario of a jammed rod. But, as long as you are only working on one at a time, you're golden. On a tour, I was able to see the purple/pink of the alpha glow on a rod before. That was pretty awesome.
