Reply #29: We now have our resident expert, Sid, to answer any questions... [View All]

So, Sid, your expertise in these matters were duly displayed 11 months ago with Deepwater Horizon. Care to share your "expertise," with us on this disaster? I recall you were positive, based on your many years in marine drilling issues in the lakes of Canada, that the gulf gusher was not that bad, remember? You said it would no way surpass Exxon Valdez or the Ixtoc gushers?

How's that analysis looking now?

Anyway, here are a few questions for our DUers this morning:

1) How many nuclear reactors were in operation last night in Japan when the quake hit?

2) What sorts of plans does Japan have for just such emergencies vis-a-vis a nuc disaster brought on by a disaster like this quake?

3) If radiation is released as result of reactor breach in Japan, where does it go?

4) How far and how long would it take for the radiation to spread?



Class dismissed, you have your assignment


This could be a disaster like we have never seen.


I will be back in 15 minutes to provide the answers.


No cheating.
