TEPCO Workers Remove Wrong Pipe Get Splashed With Radioactive Water

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."

    I once found a radioactive test sample in a dumpster when I worked for a medical device manuf.

    Good thing their budget wasn't large enough such that they could pay you enough for a proper apartment.
    Who knows how many radioactive samples might have gone missing had you not been sleeping there at the time.

    You may think nothing of it, but I'm always there for you. When you fall on your ass, my cock is always right where your bayer aspirin hole will land. When you fall off a cliff, I'm always at the bottom, waiting for your smelly asshole to fall right onto my fetid cock. When you wiggle your foul ass about, my disgusting little friend is always right there to keep it company. We're eternal Brothers In Rancid! What say you?

    Even considering the pride of the nation as a factor it's now becoming an international problem for any country that shares the pacific ocean.

    You and your ilk are more of a problem than Tepco. You completely lack perspective and scale. Just because they can measure some contamination in parts per squillion in Oregon does not make this a real problem. Hell, they could dump the fucking slagged reactor core directly in the Pacific ocean and you would be safe across the Pacific.

    Yes, the ocean is really that big.

    Yes, you need to stop being so afraid of radioactivity. Nuclear power is the future. Unless you prefer *more* radioactivity in the air due to the use of coal fired power plants.

    Anyway, calm down. No one died. It's doubtful anyone will even get cancer from this entire debacle.

    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.
