TEPCO Workers Remove Wrong Pipe Get Splashed With Radioactive Water

Posted by samzenpus on from the how-bad-is-it? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A day after TEPCO workers mistakenly turned off cooling pumps serving the spent pool at reactor #4 at the crippled nuclear plant comes a new accident — 6 workers apparently removed the wrong pipe from a primary filtration system and were doused with highly radioactive water. They were wearing protection yet such continuing mishaps and 'small mistakes' are becoming a pattern at the facility."

    Asshats have sock puppet accounts with good karma and then use them to mod up their own AC asshattery or mod down people that disagree with a post they created from one of their accounts.
