They did bring in mobile diesel generators, it's just they don't supply enough amperage to run much and eat fuel like a mother fucker. One 161kV line can power a fuck load of shit and requires no refueling onsite. The grid will keep the juice flowing and they can focus on stabilizing the plant instead of worrying about getting fuel out there. Quote:
Tsunami took them out. They were designed to survive a Tsunami a few meters lower.

By the way, they got power to Units 5-6. They were able to get a diesel up and running and looks like power will be on at 2 soon.
Status of Fukushima plants In Japan, engineers have laid a power line that can connect reactor 2 of the Daiichi facility to the off-site power grid, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported. Workers are working to reconnect the power to reactor 2 after they complete spraying water into the reactor 3 complex to provide additional cooling to the used fuel pool. Reconnecting to the power grid is expected to enhance efforts to prevent further damage at the plant. Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency reported on Thursday that the backup diesel generator for reactor 6 is working and supplying electricity to reactors 5 and 6. TEPCO is preparing to add water to the storage pools that house used nuclear fuel rods at those two reactors.

if it were possible to use some more common generators it could have saved a whole lot of headaches. I'm not talking about something from the local Home Depot, but we do have a ton of military over there. I suspect they have some pretty powerful generators along with the helicopters to put them wherever they want. |

Yeah the generators they need were the connex contained diesel engine type like CAT makes and other companies, they would need to be trucked in. Glad to hear good news.
