The Fukushima nuclear site in Japan has 6 active BWR (Boiling Water Reactors). The roots of this design date back to the 1950,s. Tokyo Electric Power Co. has reported that all 6 have been experiencing cooling problems. As the cooling problems mount authorities have to deal with damaged basic infrastructure, evacuations, radiation releases, and now blast damage. New cooling operations are using sea water and boric acid to stave off a meltdown. These are massive piping facilities. A true evaluation and assessment of the total damage under the best circumstances would take months under good circumstances. Tokyo Electric Power Co. actions have become steadily more desperate.
