    Why are many single men absolutely filthy?

    Also do not cross contaminat the inside of your mask (I would bring several). People tend to set them down with the inside facing up (exposed) then distrub the polluntents, allowing them to settle down on the inside and then reuse. Extra clothing is important so that you do not transport...

    Fukushima Fukushima Management and Government Performance

    I did some reshearch on the labor/NDA's regulations in Japan over the last two days, it is not so cut and dry from what I could see. (hindered by the language barrier and not being able to equate payscale their to relative living cost..) this will take more time than I have at the moment. Also...

    Fukushima Fukushima Management and Government Performance

    Explaination: 1) My response was to "CORRECT" the statement as I understood the subtitles. Forced vs option are not the same. Not the merits of the video, as I know nothing about this station/and the source of the information other that the employee apparently signed a confidentiality...

    Fukushima Fukushima Management and Government Performance

    After looking at the link you provided, it is my undersanding using the english sub-titles that 1) the workers are not "Required" to waive their right to sue for compensation if they get sick. They "choose" this as an option so that they receieve the "Higher Bounus Pay". I understood the...

    Japan Earthquake: Nuclear Plants at Fukushima Daiichi

    I will have to go back and reread the info Tsutusji has been so wonderful to provide us with, but I believe one of the main "assumption" of the drill is that they ARE in "station blackout" Please stay factual on this PF. thread. There are other threads related to sarcasim! The drill being...

    Japan Earthquake: Nuclear Plants at Fukushima Daiichi

    You are abosolutly correct, it will be very dangerous, and very challaging, but the radioactivity will be one saftey item that can be address and controlled easier than the removal of rubble. What many may not understand is that since nothing is as it was engineered, as they start to move the...

    Japan Earthquake: Nuclear Plants at Fukushima Daiichi

    I value human life very much and do take any death no matter what the cause seriously, but if you look at the stats on any contstruction project or just plant operation... death and injuries are part of the operations.. that's why companies carry workers compensation and liability insurance...

    Japan Earthquake: Nuclear Plants at Fukushima Daiichi

    Overhead lines vs underground lines would be not be a simple decision... there are many engineering factors that would have to be addressed... remember the pictures of how much the land (shown mostly) on the road pictures shifted. Then you also have to engineer the water intrusion issues (this...

    Japan Earthquake: Nuclear Plants at Fukushima Daiichi

    I appreciate you imput and suggestion as I also see many foceable problems, but what I also see on the thread is very detailed summaries as to what will not work and why, but very few answers to the problems. That would lead me to believe that the answers are not quite as simple and the time...

    Japan Earthquake: Nuclear Plants at Fukushima Daiichi

    could you please post your link for this information... as I believe that they may have been in the process of doing a "pressure test" and this is standard... required... and nothing scary!.. but without your source its very difficult to know what date and document your are looking at.

    Pressure relief question (thermo)

    looks like mech enger is offline, work with valves and pressure.. but not the science jargan... but if i understand your thought (and please correct me) the gas is Not compressable so would not afford any energy, so the stored energy would be from the fluid? would that be correct?
