US nuclear recruits to Japan http://ca.news.yahoo.com/exclusive-wanted-u-workers-crippled-japan-nuke-plant-20110331-165506-832.html

One would think that the rush to fly in the biggest concrete pump in the biggest Russian cargo plane would be big news in Japan. But I don't see them in the headlines at Kyodo News & Nikkei, or in the open stories at Kyodo News. May be all this will just spook the Japanese public.

It seems that stories in Japan are more on the form of govt aid and control for Tepco, and whether BOJ should buy reconstruction bonds (ie more Japanese QE).

I think that initially, they might use big pumps with huge booms to remotely throw water or other liquids in the hot spots.
