So then were the reactors in cascade from day one

Did the tsunami destroy the reactors. They found workers who died as a result of tsunami. They had to keep those bodies until they detoxed them.


So then is the following correct (from March 12th):
"...these reactors are in cascade and we are having a cascade failure..."

Looks like we do have informed posters at DU.

1. It would not be correct

to say that the tsunami destroyed the reactors.

It damaged or destroyed important support equipment.

Check out the reactor before and after pictures in this link:

2. It damaged or destroyed important support equipment

So it didn't damage the reactors?

Nice pics.
