*tugs at earlobes*
Spud my man, in my old job (which happens to be environmental monitoring), if things get exciting, something has gone very wrong.
What has been dismaying to me right now is the human element. TEPCO is very near the tipping point..if they haven't passed it already. Berk and everyone else keeps pointing out that the technology will hold. Every branch decision I'ved read so far suggested a suboptimal response so far...even if it's the only response.
What I had been kibbitzing about is that the folks on the ground had better starting gearing up for the worse case scenario because thinking it ain't gonna happen means when it does happen, you'll lose valuable time. The range of responses right now over there is pretty slim.
Ask any veteran who has ever been involved in a FUBAR. The best time to react to it is before it happens. Assume and plan for the worse and hope for the best. Now that I have set my piece, I'll clam up now, It seems to be upsetting some of you folks.
But on the bright side, this would make a very good master's thesis. See there's an upside to the situation already for me!
