Fukushima Floods (some of them) from Italy e GEOS March 16

Primary tabs

e-GEOS of Italy offers (MAP) Japan: Fukushima Nuclear Plant - Flood Map (16 Mar 2011) which I blew up many times and was unable to determine which of the two Fukushima nuclear power plants they are referring to.  No matter, this one focuses on flooding near whichever one it is.  I suppose those waters have tsunami debris and thus are worse than sea water[1] for cooling a nuclear power plant.

I downloaded this as “EOJ Map Fukushima unknown flood Mar 16 e GEO” using word unknown because non-obvious which nuclear power plant they mapping.



[1] Sea water, not being pure water, causes corrosion of where it is cooling, so even if there was no other damage, the sea water means several years before power plants repaired good enough to get back in business.

howdy folks
