US delivers coolant to Japan nuclear plant -Clinton
Scientific American ^ | March 11, 2011

Posted on 03/11/2011 8:32:57 AM PST by BenLurkin

The United States has transported coolant to a Japanese nuclear plant affected by a massive earthquake and will continue to assist Japan, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Friday.

"We just had our Air Force assets in Japan transport some really important coolant to one of the nuclear plants," Clinton said at a meeting of the President's Export Council.

Given the scale of this and reconstruction costs - Obama had better spend his time figuring out who is going to replace the Japanese buying hundreds of billions in US Treasuries.

Bernanke - start the printing presses!

If the station is in blackout conditions they need to find a way to move coolant. She’s fed moronic crap to say.

What a nice thing to do. Now send them a frigging bill for the stuff.

I remember after IKE hit the Texas coast. I had houses messed up, cars messed up, etc. Thank goodness the Japanese were there for me! Along with the English, Germans, French and a host of other nations. They all showed up with buckets of money and were so helpful.....

"We just had our Air Force assets in Japan transport some really important coolant to one of the nuclear plants," Clinton said at a meeting of the President's Export Council.

Here is the original text before being cleaned up by the media:

"We just had our, you know, Air Force assets and stuff in Japan transport some like really important coolant stuff, you know like Prestone to one of the big nuclear plant places," Clinton said at a meeting of the President's Export Council.

/sarcasm

Noooo! Not Dex-cool, unless they want the system full of grey sludge. Hate that stuff.

She's sent this "really important coolant" to Japan under the orders of President Camacho. Reports are the coolant is Brawndo.

It's got electrolytes.

A science `asset’ told her that if they can’t keep the nuclear plant cool, something really bad could happen.

Some real stupidity here....

The only issue with a shutdown reactor is the removal of residual heat...the only the thing necessary for that is electrical power to move water through the core and charge more water to the system as needed. If the diesel backup generators don’t work, that’s a problem, but the solution is restoring electrical power, not providing coolant.

BTW...coolant = pure water.

At least she didn’t try to talk down to us by calling it “H2O”

That summary is so oversimplified as to be almost totally inaccurate.

Reactor cooling equipment fails at TEPCO

The government has declared an emergency situation at one of Tokyo Electric Power company’s nuclear power plants in quake-stricken Fukushima Prefecture. It says no radioactive materials have been leaked.

Tokyo Electric said an equipment failure has made it impossible to cool two reactors at the Fukushima Number One plant.

The firm says it does not have enough electric power to cool the reactors, which automatically stopped operating when the quake struck.

The government has taken precautionary measures to ensure the safety of nearby residents. But it says that the residents should remain calm, and that currently no evacuation is needed.

The power company is sending eight power generators to the site, and the Ground Self Defense Force is sending one more.

Residents near nuclear reactor advised to evacuate

The government has issued an evacuation advisory to people living within a three-kilometer radius of a nuclear power plant in quake-stricken Fukushima Prefecture.

Government officials said on Friday that no radioactive materials have leaked from the Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima Number One plant. The government also says the advisory is only a precaution, and is also asking people living within 10 kilometers of the plant to stay indoors.

The government’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency says cooling system failure has made it impossible to cool the second reactor after it automatically stopped operating after the earthquake.

The plant has been declared to be in a state of emergency after the quake caused the technical failure.
