Chie and I had planned to go to Tokorozawa already yesterday, but the traffic was just terrible so we are leaving just now instead. But that means no Internet access, which means nu emails and no blog updates. No worries though, we will be back tomorrow night and I’ll update the blog with the latest news 🙂

Just saw the video of the explosion at the nuclear plant. :/
Can you say something about it?
Boom? Sorry for the perhaps bad joke, but humor (good or bad) is probably one of humans vent for pressure release. And as I understand it that may have been what happened, a rod in the plan was exposed and the result was that hydrogen was built up. When the pressure was released from the inner chamber to the outer the hydrogen came in contact with oxygen and created what we in Swedish call “knallgas” (oxyhodrogen/detonating gas). And it blew off the top of the outer chamber, but the inner chamber is supposed to still be intact.
