That is an amazing video - very hard to put into words. The last shot of the one man standing on the pile of debris out in the middle of the water is so damn sobering...
This is not a critique of the way things are being handled with the nuclear problems going on in Japan. I'm sure the best is being done. I cannot fathom the cost or difficulty in handling this type of situation. Not even going to pretend like I understand anything nuclear.
But when do you cut your losses and decommission these reactors? Is that even a viable option at this point?
I've seen entombment mentioned in reading about stuff like this.
So when I say "decommission", I mean shut down and filled with concrete. I know it isn't that cut and dry easy. I'm just trying to understand options they have available.
Starting to get a feel for this on another forum I belong to.
It isn't that they are trying to salvage anything. They are struggling to get it to a point where they CAN decommission the reactors. I don't know why, but I was under the impression that they were still trying to salvage the facility.
I still welcome more insight into this.
Or, I can just talk to myself, too.
At least I'm not using the quote feature to talk to myself.
As far as I can tell the minute they started using sea water to cool the reactors they had given up on salvaging anything.
I am not sure but I think that maybe pouring a bunch of concrete on top of several hundred tons of super heated radioactive fuel might cause it to further heat and melt through whatever containment they try.
