re: #189 Naso Tang

Yes, it seems very strange that they could not shut down completely. I’m no expert on these matters, but surely they have to be able to do a more complete and stable shutdown just for things like refueling?

I wonder whether the quake did not do some internal damage that prevented some fuel or damping rods from activating.

It takes time to go from full production to shut down temperature. You can completely SCRAM a reactor and the daughter products from the main reaction will keep popping off particles for quite a while.
