Strong quake and tsunami hits Japan

Shame those models are so old. I cant swear to it, but I coulda thought that later (possibly only military, and possibly misinformation cause I read to much military *fiction*) models had a natural circulation mode where the very heat and pressure developed by the decay of this stuff pushed the water around the system and through the cooling exchanges to help keep heat in check.

I suspect that, if such a system were in place, they could harness the water's movement for electrical power and not need to worry about connecting to the grid to keep the pumps running. Since they're trying to connect to the grid to keep the pumps running, that system probably isn't in place...
