I ordered a part from Japan last week....

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

Man, you need to learn how to lighten up and not take things soo serious as ya do, it will kill you mentally and physicly, stress kills:whistle:
 
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.

Last report I saw said they are preparing to vent some pressure, which will prevent ruptures. That is absolutely not what you want to hear, but if they can do that and maintain sufficient coolant levels, it should hold them over long enough to get emergency power online. Hopefully the containment structure is up to the task until things get under control. Obviously, this unit is a boiling water reactor and Three Mile Island was a pressurized water reactor, but the similarities in cooling remain. As long as they can maintain feedwater flow and remove heat, a steam pressure explosion (Chernobyl) just isn't in the cards. I too hope they can get it under control and on safe standby. Prayers for that.

I'm not stressed at all, I just call it like I see it. You really wouldn't want to hear the uncensored version of what I am thinking so we can just leave it where it is at.
 
Okay, i see where ya people are coming from, F*CK my damn part on the boat lost at sea.
ship, i don't care anyway, my part is probably laying on the ocean floor anyways.
My thoughts and prayers sent.
 
Two, I am sure you will get your parts in a timely manner, once they bury their loved ones that have passed during this disaster.

Relax a bit, and be patient as the country is in quite a bit of trouble right now.

Glad to see your point of view changed :thumbsup:
 
I really am not that concerned with my part, all it is is a $35 gold oil cap.
I was watching the news earlier and everything going on in Japan and thought for a split second i saw something in the sea that looked like my....naw it couldn't be.. Then i started to think of all the other things floating in the sea and people who might have lost their lives and thought to myself,WOW, how could i be soo selfish.
Big deal about my damn oil cap.
