Don't worry. The Japanese also said that the max rating now is only "temporary".

The political hesitation do fully realise the dimension of the events and the full meaning of them for Japan, can only be explained by that slowly they become aware that for a nation sitting on a small island in one of the geologically most active regions of this planet, having almost 5 dozen nuclear reactors does not sound like a good idea.

Now that they have learned what the term "residual risk" means, many probably ask themselves if after Nagasaki and Hiroshima they have chosen the right path when making their economical rebirth depending on nuclear power so exclusively. Since the pro-nuke lobby is extremely powerful and has brainwashed the Japanese since decades (military nukes are bad, civilian nuke is great), they are slowly stumbling towards what later may show to be something not short of a full cultural revolution.

What amazes me is that Japan, land of the robots, so far does nto seem to have used robots of Japanese production at Fukushima. Special machinery from Germany, and robots from America, Canada and Germany were reported to have been the only ones being used so far. Where is the Sonybot when you need him?
