Will RacerX be allowed to finish his first drink before responding?
(and no, Tiger's a loss this year. You've seen how he's been playing? I don't understand why he gave up that beautiful 2001 swing---the best the game's ever seen.)

What I'm not yet clear on, is that while the earthquake triggered and automatic shutdown of the reactor, it seemed to go too far, and killed power to the primary cooling. Or maybe that was instead damaged.
Quake didn't knock out the generators. They ran for about an hour before the tsunami wiped them out. the battery backups only provide 8 hrs of backup power.
The US nuke plants in coastal areas have these generators in sealed bunkers to protect the from this type of event. The same design was offered to the Japanese, but apparently they felt it wasn't warranted.

He didn't give it up - the wife got it in the divorce settlement.

and the fuel tanks for the generators washed away ....
the designs would have held for the design parameters, unfortunately a 8.9 /9.0 quake and 23 foot tsunami wasn't the high end ...
keeping spent fuel rods in the plant has been controversial for quite some time.
We do the same thing here and somewhere, I forget where is the added controversy of keeping a few too many in a tank.
lots of re-thinking, c'est la vie.
