Souldn't the person on the right have his pants tucked into his boots? Surely radiation will go up his legs?

I can only praise the workers for the courage and dedication. I'd be quaking in my boots to tell you the truth. NHK World English has a 5 year radiation forecast article and Daiichi is so in the red. Those workers should get medals of some sort.

'Slow Work' or 'Slow Workers'? Doesn't seem yo be much action.

In that area having a suit or not doesn't make much of a difference-ionising gamma radiation goes straight though...............

There is a big yellow tape around the thing, so I do not think it is working at all.

Hindsight is fabulous, isn't it? I can tell you who to bet on for the 2010 World Cup, too.

Well of course they did. You wouldn't destroy your trillion yen worth of reactors without knowing that they couldn't be saved. And don't say you sure would, because you wouldn't.
If you knew for sure what did happen would happen then the course of action is obvious, but I don't think it was at all obvious in the afternoon of 11 March.

Absolutely.
This is very true, but not because they didn't inject seawater immediately. TEPCO management is dangerously criminal but not because they didn't inject seawater. It would have been ludicrous to ruin the reactors immediately without knowing if they could be saved. THAT would also have cost the taxpayer (and the shareholders, who are taxpayers!) trillions of yen.
