True, the amount wasted on paying for the EXTRA petro-carbon needed because the other nuclear plants were hysterically shut down is grotesque. Japan would benefit by turning them all back on NOW and using the money saved (~3X the clean-up effort so far) to make the most needed changes first (FLEX system) and also speed the Fukushima clean-up.

So Toshiba is adding fuel to the geothermals or what is it all about?

They just might fuel that can be transported away in event of emergency.

At least they're not rushing it.

A perfect microcosm of the entire four-year clean-up effort. But, hell, what's another 500 million yen compared to the huge amount that has already been wasted?

This is the cutting edge of the cutting edge,a huge flash light for a huge muon camera. They'll get it working, eventually, and I bet it can have many other applications, besides looking for melted nuclear fuel... An impressive feat from Toshiba.
