The Times is running a somber but fascinating piece on the skeleton crew of anonymous technicians who are struggling to prevent a complete meltdown at the quake-stricken Fukushima nuclear facility in japan. Many of these technicians are risking radiation poisoning or death by remaining on the job. That kind of professional dedication might be the only thing standing between the people of Japan and catastrophe. Let’s hope their efforts to contain the meltdown are successful and that they live long enough to recount these dark days to their grandchildren.
