Washington, D.C.--(ENEWSPF)--March 30, 2011 - UPDATE AS OF 12 P.M. EDT.

Operators of nuclear power stations in Japan have been urged to ensure their facilities have emergency power sources.

Industry Minister Banri Kaieda Wednesday attributed the nuclear emergency in Japan to the loss of cooling systems at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the Japan Atomic Industry Forum reported. He told utility companies they should have mobile generators on hand to cool their nuclear reactors as an added safety measure.

Ah so! Leave it to our politicians.

And what will we do with these mobile generators?

We already have redundant emergency diesel generators in place, all damaged along with the equipment for which they're to power!

What are they to be connected to when all switchgear is water damaged?

What will they power? All required emergency electric motor driven pumps have been water damaged.

What, what, what?

They appear to be of the same ilk as our Main [Lame] Stream Press!
