When working in high radiation environments, a dosimeter for every human is essential. TEPCO said the earthquake destroyed many dosimeters. Left were maybe only 380 dosimeters. Another 200 workers were without any such safety devices. Two weeks later, and TEPCO still could not find dosimeters anywhere in the world? Nonsense. TEPCO management has been that dumb. Classic of what one should expect from people trained in business schools. Not trained in how the work gets done.

How long does it take to make a phone call, order some dosimeters, and fly them in via Fed Ex? Weeks if a decision is made by incompetent management. Hours when the Japanese press finally exposed another example of why these nuclear plants exploded.

Everyone knows those plants must be disassembled to get access to fuel rods. Everyone knows work will require use of land (kilometers) around those plants. Competent management was preparing land around those plants over a week ago when radiation was safe. Same work should be ongoing every hour now. Because anyone with minimal knowledge knows radiation levels around each plant will only increase. Do it now while it is easy. Pave access roads. Fields for depositing destroyed building materials. Trenches and protection buildings for thousands of workers. Water collection facilities for rain water washing those radiative materials. Do it now while radiation levels are lower. While it is easy. So that space and access during the hard part is available and ready.

But that means TEPCO management is planning. Doing what is necessary to stay ahead of the problem. They are not. TEPCO management is doing what any business school trained manager would do to even murder seven Challenger astronauts. For miles around those plants should be facilities necessary to disassemble or even bury those reactors inside a sarcophagus. And facilities even for thousands of workers to shower off radioactive materials. More important, large pipes to provide a most important material - water without salt.

View what is happening. Nothing. It took two weeks to decide to route electric wires to the plants - a half day job if radiation did not complicate construction. Will it take months to decide to disassemble debris to get to and remove fuel rods? Obviously. TEPCO management could not even order a few hundred dosimeters. TEPCO is probably worried about the costs - as any good buiness school graduate is taught to always solve. Costs are always more important than how the work gets done. So four nuclear reactors exploded.
