    Tokyo Electric Power (TKECY.PK) says its cooling system for the spent fuel pool at its crippled Fukushima Daiichi power plant's No. 4 reactor automatically suspended operation Saturday, and it's been unable to activate a backup cooling system. Officials say it's unlikely the temperature will rise rapidly, and no leakage of water with radioactive materials has yet been found. If Tepco can't cool the pool, the temperature could reach the upper limit of designated safety regulations.

  • Not again. Where is EPA ? We have radioactive fish from Japan in Bay area.

    World want to kill coal. To Obamination and others, radioactive vapors seems like to better solution so that our future generations can be crippled or genetically modified.

    Already in San Francisco area, fish with high radioactivity are detected. Bay area is exposed to fall out in Japan due to sea current directions.

  • The EPA doesn't police Japan. But I suppose they could convince the FDA to ban the consumption of seafood caught in the Bay area.

  • What's unlikely is that they will notify anyone in a timely manner. Why in the he!! haven't they tested their backup systems, failure of the backup systems is what caused the original meltdown.
