    I’m aware it’s not a bomb. I was in the radiation affected area in Japan when the power plant melted down. It doesn’t need to be a bomb to release radiation.

      Yea, isn’t a nuclear power plant fucked, when they destroy the means to cool it down? I just think there are a lot of ways to fuck with a power plant. pls correct me if I’m wrong :)

        Yes, which is why Tokyo is the most rad city on earth. The mayor wanted Tokyo to evacuate but it would cause too much panic about Japan and loss of face. So people just breathed.

      If Daiichi taught me anything, is that you can cause catastrophe by depriving a nuclear plant of auxiliary power.

        It taught most of us here that the foreign engineer who told Japanese engineers not to rely on auto safety mechanisms but to manually override and sink the rods into the water was the true hero who didn’t wear a cape. The Japanese engineers were more trustying on the automatic systems but they built the reactors with back up power at a low level they new a 100 year tsunami could hit it, so they didn’t expect the tsunami, they couldn’t have expected it.

          What does race have to do with it… sounds like an engineer told other engineers how to handle an incident…

          Homeslice edited his comment to say foreign now which is a reasonable thing to say

            It’s got nothing to do with race, why introduce that? There were Japanese AND foreign engineers there at Fukushima trying to help.

                @Entropywins

                Guess who invented nuke power? Hint they are light people
                Guess who invented the station the Japanese build? Hint they are light people
                Guess who was the engineer who helped the Japanese understand his own native technology? Hint they are light people

                If I had said Asian instead of Japanese would you have not preferred that also?
