Great article ...  "How do you lead a company through a nuclear accident?" http://qn.som.yale.edu/content/how-do-you-lead-company-through-nuclear-accident ... no mention of the intractable, nuclear-dirt, 100,000s of years' impossible-storage issue ... nor of Germany's clear, nuclear, abolishment plans by 2022 ... but a fascinating, Japanese, TEPCO-CEO, cultural view on the nuclear, business mess there too ... Go Solar!!! :)

(... just got a little 'Ambient Weasther' WR-111B Adventurer Emergency Radio NOAA with a little solar panel and crank handle for electricity generation, both to re-charge a smartphone in an emergency situation, after seeing the film "The Impossible" about a Tsunami that hits Thailand in 2004 and wipes out 240,000 people in days, due to plate-subduction, thinking in terms of earthquake-prone California).

I definitely agree that the severity of the crisis and the ongoing mismanagement is alarming, but alas this is the CEO of the company talking about their own company that they've worked for their entire life. What's most interesting is seeing how a bankrupt government had to bail out a bankrupt company in order to continue doing a mediocre job of containing the worst nuclear crisis since the bombs fell on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Not exactly reassuring about where the US is going considering our active fault lines, increasingly severe weather, rising sea levels, and 104 nuclear power plants (with more on the way). ...

A little solar panel and crank will now charge a smartphone for internet communications and texting in emergency situations ...

Uncle Sam-Pronuclear governments worldwide ... what is going on? ... Koyanisqatsi (life out of balance) ... glad the new head of the USA's Nuclear Regulatory Commission is a MIT PhD in Geology and her husband is an anthropologist who's written 'Nuclear Rites: A Weapons Laboratory at the End of the Cold War' by Hugh Gusterson ... ( Nuclear rhetoric is fascinating and very memetically contagious and viral in a big, global industry ) ... need some good solar options, and they're coming ...

Here's how to build an Emergency Preparedness Kit ... from the US government ...

We've had Fukushima, the earthquake in Virginia last year, and the Tsunami in Thailand in 2004. And I live in earthquake prone California.

A biggest risk in the SF Bay Area would be a 10, 11, or 12 earthquake on the Richter scale, and be visiting San Francisco at the time, with buildings falling all around, with disruptions in water and food supplies for the next 3 days, for example.
