Yea.. Right!!!

And GE is Responsible for Layoff and new Hires at this plant also,
GE built a Plant(product) that plant worked fine until a tsunami took it out.
That is the insures responsibility and the Country(Japan) that are in charge of monitoring this ..not GE
GE did not own this plant!!! They HAD NO ACCESS TO FUNDS TO DO MAINTANCE, Upgrades, or any other pumping issue..

Yea, GE will settle and make more money in bringing this plant into compliance than any settlement.

Get over it!!!

GLTA!!!

They had one of the strongest earthquakes and most powerful tsunamis in recorded history...and they are going to blame GE? Thats too funny.

When someone claims, that "GE is negligent in not conducting proper reactor inspections" I only can respond, that GE was not the operator. It was japanese ingeneurs who decided to build it at that side, and also they decided that the fuel stoarge tanks for the emergency power generation, were build directly at the seaside, which turned out to be not properly protected against high waves. GE was the manufacture and delivered all single parts, but even the welding of the reactor and its components were done in Japan. I do not see any justified claims against GE, but I would guess that this should be discusssed before court.

The reactor and its parts fullfilled the requirements as long the reactors were in operation. The failure of the reactors and the accidental chain of bad events led to this tragedy. The reactors even worked properly when authorities/Tepco decided to release pressure from the vessels, which led to the intentional destruction of the surounding buildings. It was one of the decisions, to keep most of radioactive depris inside the reactor, to open the great vents on top of the reactors to release pressure. The main and most important issue was achieved: the reactor pressure vessels are still unbroken (of course damaged), but they still hold tight and a spill of the reactor core outside to the environment did not occur.
