Trip, what's your estimate of the damage that will happen from the meltdowns alone?

It really makes you feel helpless. I am glad to see that our govt and it's many agencies are going to their aid. Seems like we have a great deal of military there helping them as well. I always like seeing human aid, especially for those that are deserving.

This is what was taken from one of the articles. We don't use the term "meltdown" in the nuclear industry for what they are referring to. Quote:
You got to understand there are several "buildings" inside of "buildings" in the overall reactor building. Where the explosion happened was in the concrete reactor building because they released gases with hydrogen from the containment building to relieve pressure. Those gases reacted badly and took down the concrete reactor building. There is also a very thick steel containment building thats inside the concrete building, which is still intact. This steel building has all the primary cooling systems and reactor vessel protected inside it. The vessel is the protection for the actual core. Unit 3 to my knowledge is still salvageable, if they start dumping sea water in it as well, you know they have given up on it.

Tva is only building as we need the power. We got in a lot of debt by building too many sites a few decades ago.
