they have a 4 layer backup system (or normally have) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 1, 05:59
There were 3 systems in place. Hindsight says it wasn't enough. But 3 redundancies his hardly a lack of foresight. -- nm - TWuG Apr 1, 05:58 7

  - they also send in the workers without dosimeters - Danedukenuuk Apr 1, 06:03 1
    - yep, and they don't have nearly enough suits. it's a mess. There's no excuse for that for a nuke plant in that place. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 06:04
