Hope that they have a good population of down-and-out homeless and unemployed people for the dirty and dangerous jobs of repairing and maintaining the reactors. Hitachi-GE probably forgot to tell them how their reactors are repaired and maintained by the sub-sub-sub-sub contractors...

I thought Japan was not 'cooperating' on nuclear technology! Ah, wait... that's only the face-saving response when they've already been sent their walking papers.

Is this serious? Shut down Dangerous Russian plants, and open what (appear) to be just as dangerous ones?

Well, it is not 1970's technology and perhaps the Lithuanian plant operators will actually heed any safety recommendations. But what do I know. Maybe just train a bunch of monkies to be absolutely sure...

?

Just compare U.S. nuclear plants from the same period, which were already far safer than the ones the Soviets built.

Also, last time I checked Lithuania doesn't get by tsunamis very often...

Westinghouse is owned by Toshiba, but it's primarily a US/Euro Operation for a mixed Western/Japanese executive board. If the Japanese team was truly selling technology Toshiba would be making the presentation directly.

Lets keep our fingers crossed that Lithuania never has terrorism nor earthquakes/tsunamis etc...
