I ordered a part from Japan last week and now this happens.
Do you think this will have any effect on the part I ordered from Japan last week????

You may have to be VERY patient and understanding. Have you tried contacting the vendor directly?

+1 if it hadn't left the island yet, it could be a good while before you hear anything else

I am sure the last thing anyone over there is concerned about right now is your part.

agreed, nobody is trying to be a ass, but there are much more pressing issues right now, especially with that nuclear reactor overheating, and the fail safe systems without power to put extra water into the reactor to keep it cool, does anybody realize what will happpen if that reactor has a meltdown, that area will be a fallout zone for 1000's of years, chernobyl, reasearch it, and that was a small reactor, and that area is a dead zone still to this day, and the immediate effects are horrible but the years following with kids being born, such a bad bad situation

im a boilermaker i work on powerhouses, and nuclear powerhouses are great when they are running, but whenever a monkey wrench is thrown in the system stuff can get real bad real quick

I agree, the part is easy to replace, there lots of things that is going to take a long time to get back to normal and others will never be replaced, sorry for those who lost someone on this horrible situation.

I'm not trying to start a debate, but that is a gross overestimation of the likely outcome. Chernobyl suffered a massive (non-nuclear) explosion, and was not protected by a containment structure. If you want a more realistic scenario for the Fukushima Daiichi reactor, you should cite Three Mile Island. TMI experienced a loss of cooling accident which resulted in a partial core melt-down, but you don't see Harrisburg, PA looking like a ghost town. Containment structures make the difference, and Japanese & American reactors have them. All they have to do in Japan is restore the flow of coolant through the core. Chernobyl experienced a core explosion, which is much different than the a meltdown within a containment structure.

I feel for you that you want your part, for sure, you spent your hard earned cash to buy it, but the people over there did not ask for what has happened to them, and for you to say that is pretty harsh, a earthquake and tsunami is not something they predict on the weather channel, i imagine if that shop has been flattened then your part and money is gone, until everything is back up and running, keep your order confirmation number, and when everything is back up and running contact the seller and talk to them over the situation, but realize that it is going to take a while, all there records are prolly gone

The fact that you even made this post in the first place makes me question that statement.

no doubt- crap sense of humor-???
i don wanna talk to you no more...

Correct, but if the reactor core overheats enough and causes a rupture in the system, then the explosions and fires will soon follow, the three mile island incident was a cooling problem, but they had power to the island, which in turn kicked in the backup cooling systems, which cooled the reactor core, the japan power house has no power to anything if i heard correctly on the news, and surrounding countries including ours are trying to get backup generators to the powerhouse to power up the cooling systems, i realize that there are containments, i just hope everything works out for the best

The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine (then in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, part of the Soviet Union). It is considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history and is the only level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale.

The disaster occurred on 26 April 1986, at reactor number four at the Chernobyl plant, near the town of Pripyat in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, during a systems test. A sudden power output surge took place, and when an attempt was made for emergency shutdown, a more extreme spike in power output occurred which led to a reactor vessel rupture and a series of explosions. This event exposed the graphite moderator components of the reactor to air and they ignited; the resulting fire sent a plume of radioactive fallout into the atmosphere and over an extensive geographical area, including Pripyat. The plume drifted over large parts of the western Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and Northern Europe. Large areas in Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia had to be evacuated, with over 336,000 people resettled. According to official post-Soviet data,[1][2] about 60% of the fallout landed in Belarus.
