I don't get why they waste time by being polite, trying to look good. They just don't have the time to waste or might pay a big price for it..not worth the risk. Just the thought of how much help could've been under way in the past 3-4 days is quite frustrating. :/ | ||

But if they fart around for more hours/days then it will probably take another 1-3 days to get the stuff ready&to Japan. I don't get why they waste time by being polite, trying to look good.

Do you know personally that they are just trying to "look good" or are you just making it up or taking in what the talking heads on all the internet chats are saying with absolutely no background information. They asked for assistance from the United States and from the IAEA from the bloody start, they requested expert personel to be sent and they have afaik also requested pumping equipment. Furthermore there is not a question of manpower or technology Japan is the worlds third largest economy and one of the technologically most advanced countries in the world. The problems at the plant is hard to manage because of the severity of the issues, because the surrounding catastrophy makes it hard to get resources into the region and because the radiation makes it very difficult to work effectively in the area. It is not a matter of lacking key expertise or technology to deal with this that can only be brought in from abroad. This isn't Haiti. | ||

It is not a matter of lacking key expertise or technology to deal with this that can only be brought in from abroad. This isn't Haiti. They got offered help from many countries but aside from a few experts, I don't think they have requested any real help yet. Which means nothing is under way. So we're talking about the time it takes to fly stuff to Japan + the time that is needed to prepare the transport, not to mention the time needed to finally decide to accept the offer. Fact is if they had asked 2-3 days ago, then specialists, cooling equipment/generators or teams that could help dealing with a possible worst case could already be there ready to deploy. And that's what I find frustrating, because if something happens they're caught with their pants down and with that help the current situation might have looked different. They're just wasting precious time by wanting to deal with that situation on their own instead of preparing for things, when the help is offered for free anyway. | ||
