He could have opened the valve he was told to open and the work instructions were wrong. I doubt the guys actually opening and closing the valves do it from 'memory'. They would have work sheets telling them which valve to open or close. sangellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08249494288162994713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-36296797844618166842014-02-22T19:05:22.858-08:002014-02-22T19:05:22.858-08:00As the site becomes ever more cluttered, with stor...As the site becomes ever more cluttered, with storage tanks for multiple hundreds of thousands cubic meters of contaminated water, such errors are inevitable.Not having much leeway in terms of available storage capacity just exacerbates the problem. <br />Perhaps TEPCO would be well served to select a cadre of workers dedicated to water management. People familiar with the site will be less likely to make these kinds of mistakes. netudianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726679291917155189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765307840677473617.post-9156178329327716252014-02-22T02:56:36.421-08:002014-02-22T02:56:36.421-08:00The worker is only following Tepco's standard ...The worker is only following Tepco's standard operating procedure:<br />1. Deny<br />2. Obfuscate<br />3. If all else fails, lie.<br /><br />What are they going to do to the hapless (homeless?) individual guilty of the incorrect operation of the valve?<br /><br />Put him in jail?
