Re the On-going Nuclear Crisis

[thisnewday]

[My comment on an article in the Syracuse Post-Standard concerning the on-going nuclear crisis in Japan.]

"Japanese officials raised hopes of easing the crisis early Thursday, saying they may be close to bringing power back to the plant. The new power line would revive electric-powered pumps, making it easier for workers to control the high temperatures."

This assumes that the pumps, valves, seals, piping, hard-wiring, sensors and controls which make up the cooling system have miraculously escaped damage from the high heat and explosions that have wracked this facility since the beginning of the crisis.
