1. Fuck... the last hope is the powerline... |
|
...although once (or IF) the power is restored, there's no guarantee the pumps are operational.

2. I'm not sure if the other water trucks are still in the works |
|
I was a little confused at the last briefing - it sounded like the police were going to try something - and then there would be more water cannon vehicles. If that is the case they may have another option yet.

3. I wonder if they could rig something up. |
|
Say the closest they can get in 200m. Erect a small tower same height as the reactor building at the minimum safe distance. Errect another tower further away. Run a pipe between the two towers and then slide it so it is over the reactor building. Now you have a "cooling pond shower".
The cooling pond doesn't need "much" water at least not relative to the reactors. The problem is they can't get close enough to it.
