The cleanup is going to be hard. The guys are going to have to be rotated out regularly to avoid radiation buildup. So imagine trying to build an office building where you had to fire and rehire your crew every week. Nothing impossible or end of the world, but it is going to be a long messy and extremely expensive cleanup. Piled of course on top of the massive damage done to the rest of Northern Japan.

TEPCO’s track record does not inspire confidence.

Well, if I read the chart right, 500 millisieverts an hour is not exactly trivial. Looks like 50 mSv is the maximum yearly dose permitted for US radiation workers. So, what, the equivalent of 6-minute cleanup shift? Do I have that right?
