Well, /sci/, I figured we should suggest our ideas how to solve that whole Fukushima problem.
I'll start:
Step one: We cool down the cores with liquid Nitrogen.
Step two: ???
Step three: Profit !

Pic related. That's how I'd do it.

To explain why it would work: The system is currently an exotherm structure which needs too loose inner energy. If we cool down, it will slow the Meltdown...down...

Also: I'm pretty baked.

It would probably all just evaporate into gaseous Nitrogen instantly.

[Anonymous No.2708923]

Seawater works just fine, a lot easier to handle too.

Have a nice day :)

Thermal shock can compromise the integrity of the reactor vessel.

if oily pan is on fire - throw water on it! lol

[Anonymous No.2708963]

What's been happening to the reactors over the past 12 hours? I needed sleep, and now I've woken up all the huge threads have vanished

[Anonymous No.2708965]

>>2708949
that's why we're not directly "throweing" nitrogen into it. We just luke pump it through pipes and cool down the system.

Idiots you're all just fucking idiots!!!
The only solution is that all Japanese people in a 66.6 km radius start praying to Jesus! Amen!

what about the effects of liquid nitrogen entering a radioactive area?

The following is the known status as of Tuesday evening for each of the six reactors at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant and the four reactors at the Fukushima No. 2 plant, both in Fukushima Prefecture, crippled by Friday's magnitude 9.0 earthquake and ensuing tsunami.

Fukushima No. 1

-- Reactor No. 1 - Cooling failure, partial melting of core, vapor vented, hydrogen explosion, seawater pumped in.

-- Reactor No. 2 - Cooling failure, seawater pumped in, fuel rods fully exposed temporarily, damage to containment system, potential meltdown feared.

-- Reactor No. 3 - Cooling failure, partial melting of core feared, vapor vented, seawater pumped in, hydrogen explosion, high-level radiation measured nearby.

-- Reactor No. 4 - Under maintenance when quake struck, fire caused possibly by hydrogen explosion at pool holding spent fuel rods, pool water levels feared receding.

-- Reactor No. 5 - Under maintenance when quake struck.

-- Reactor No. 6 - Under maintenance when quake struck.

Fukushima No. 2

-- Reactor No. 1 - Cooling failure, then cold shutdown.

-- Reactor No. 2 - Cooling failure, then cold shutdown.

-- Reactor No. 3 - Cold shutdown.

-- Reactor No. 4 - Cooling failure, then cold shutdown.

it would probaby vaporate, so no big deal.

[Anonymous No.2709002]

why don't we nuke it?

[Anonymous No.2709005]

>Radiation levels have fallen at Japan's earthquake-stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, the government says.

Problems over, we can all go home.

Reasonable reply is reasonable. May as well make use of waters deliciously high specific heat capacity, especially when there's an ocean not a stones throw away from the plant.

Everything is fine. You may all return back to your homes, and resume your daily activities.

Except that radiation levels are easily verifiable by third parties.

According to the wiki article on chernobyl it would take something like 25 tons of liquid nitrogen a day to cool the reactors.

...

I'll go pull the truck around.

[Anonymous No.2709132]

>>2709126
25 tons? that's not much

[Anonymous No.2709136]

Liquid nitrogen isn't good for cooling off hot things. It's only good for keeping things well below freezing.

"This is Gordon Freeman how do we contain the meltdown? I know!"
And he used portals to push henemy headquarters into a portal so Japan reactor wouldnt melt down and it would only go off harmless in Atlantic ocean.

The Soviets thought so. They didn't do it. I don't remember how that turned out.

[Anonymous No.2709457]

Can't we just shoot the motherfucking bars into the ocean?

There's a fuckton of water in it, good luck evaporating it all.

[Anonymous No.2709476]

>>2709457
then it becomes a disaster..
even meltdown on land is preferable..
