TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Typhoon Soulik's strong winds caused one of the reactors at Taiwan's First Nuclear Power Plant to automatically shut down as part of precautionary measures twice on Saturday. At 2:50 a.m. on July 13, strong winds knocked out systems designed to reduce the likelihood of direct lighting strikes on the facility at the plant's number two reactor unit, resulting in an automatic shutdown. While repairs were carried out on the system, the reading for the number of neutrons became exceedingly high, once again leading to an emergency shutdown as part of protection measures.

Get THIS! Japan says it did not use the united states airplane monitoring map early on giving reliable data because it says IT WAS ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING THE GROUND! LEAVING THOUSANDS IN AREAS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN EVACUATED.

Oh, here's another good one. Japan desperate to restore confidence in Japanese government by quickly implementing scientific data in their strategic planning. (LOL)
