TEPCO Workers Remove Wrong Pipe Get Splashed With Radioactive Water

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday October 9, 2013 @11:06AM 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."

You can't reason with stoddart. He just wants to run his cocksucker about how shitty nuclear power is and how awesome Clean Mitt Romney Coal is. Just give up.
