Blow-By-Blow Account of the Fukushima Accident 259

An anonymous reader writes "In the first few days of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident, no one outside the power station knew what the hell was happening. In the 9 months since, information has come out in confusing bits and pieces. Now, finally, we have an authoritative account of exactly what went wrong in the first 24 hours of the accident. It's a harrowing tale of creativity, heroism, and catastrophe. One thing I hadn't realized was just how close workers came to averting the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl."

    Interesting; you claim that anti-nuclear "fucktards" are actively preventing the shutdown of nuclear power plants? The operators want to shut them down, but anti-nuclear fucktards won't let them!

    And these same "fucktards" are responsible for the Bush administrations' re-licensing obsolete plants that were scheduled for decommissioning? They mounted a letter-writing campaign to Dick Cheney, I guess - Don't close those plants, Dick!

    I find your ideas intriguing, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter, which I assume is called "Violent Paranoid Fantasies Weekly".
