I personally think that procedures should be put in place, to save the people first. I would bet that these people allowed the nuclear plants to be put near them, with that understanding....
On something like this, when in doubt, saving the people and the farm lands and water, should come first.
I may not agree with TM's delivery of this message, but I do understand the message.
I'd also bet my bottom dollar, Nuke plants in the future, will have stronger and better emergency plans that would cover this...
What I find amazing is that you are actually demanding that they do exactly what they did, put the safety of people first. Dumping seawater on the reactors required them to send workers directly into the danger zone of the reactor building because none of the remote control systems were working. If they had been there would have been no need to talk about flooding the reactors because the cooling system would have been keeping the core cool.
