What do I think should be done? I think they need to assemble a panel of nuke guys with the military and come up with a best case solution to present to these people that could help them end this disaster.

I got to believe that a Hercules could start flying some Quints in there to start dropping the mother of all water streams in there to cool this. Even pumps, they said yesterday that 4 out of 5 pumps they used were out of commission.....I'm sure pumps aren't growing on trees over there right now...

But your right Brian damned if he does something or doesn't...

1. I would wager that we already have our nuke experts offering opinions.

2. Have they been asked to do that? If this was happening at Seabrook would you expect Japan, or France, Germeny, (or any other country with Nuke power) to just start 'helping' with out being asked? Or should it just be we're the USA and we're here to help?

They're a major ally and we should be doing all we can to help. we step in to help every dirt country where half the people want to see us dead. Maybe we are, I dont know. But I do feel that there seems to be less of a cry to help Japan than there was with Indonesia or Haiti. Maybe its just perception. Lets see if there are a bunch of relief concerts or hollywood lib do-gooders heading over there. That will tell me a lot. I hope so. I feel this is a time when we should step in, this is the good fight we should be fighting. Lets help those that deserve it.

US experts to help battle Japan's nuclear crisis

Mar 15 11:27 PM US/Eastern

Eight experts from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission were to arrive Wednesday to help Japan battle its nuclear crisis, the foreign ministry said.
It said they would provide technical advice on managing the situation at the Fukushima No 1 atomic power plant 250 kilometres (155 miles) northeast of Tokyo.

A fresh fire broke out at the plant early Wednesday, compounding the emergency. It went out of its own accord later in the morning.

"The government of Japan will cooperate closely with these experts as it makes utmost efforts to solve the problems" at the plant, the ministry said in a statement.

Washington, a close ally of Tokyo, earlier sent a naval task force led by the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan to assist in relief after last Friday's devastating earthquake and tsunami.

The disasters knocked out cooling systems at the plant, causing fuel rods to overheat.
