Another great performance by Tepco

It was only last week that I wrote "Tepco's performance has been miserable throughout the past 2+ years.  Its protection of the plant was totally inadequate. They have yet to stop radioactive water overflowing from another part of the facility."  Guess what?  They just dumped another 100 gallons of contaminated water into the ocean. Why? They overfilled the tank because they miscalculated the capacity of a storage tank.

Of course, Tepco once more apologized and a Japanese official said, "It's actually leaking so of course we can't say that [Tepco] have been properly dealing with the issue. It should not be leaking at all." But Tepco keeps on its merry way of screwing things up.

TEPCO could prove to be the death of us all. Starting in November, they will attempt to remove the fuel rods from Reactor 4. God help us all if they mess that up.
