Finally Some Fukushima Coverage

12/2/11 TEPCO released their first interim report on the disaster and some other interesting bits of info about Measurement and Protection.

Here's some videos covering the very latest on the situation. As this covers both the science behind dealing with the disaster and this is "Energy Generation" I feel it fits the designated range of topics for the TPU Science & Technology section.

Seems like what amounted to a media black out on the situation has finally broken, perhaps due to the TEPCO releases of information generating some interest.

Enjoy?

 

yeah interesting stuff, was wondering why news suddenly stopped being broadcasted after so much hype right after the disaster
