Instead of calling it a bubble, I like to think of it as the "Dandelion Effect," where the founders and early technical employees of shutdown companies move on to other parts of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, emboldened with new experiences.
On Friday, a disaster-response task force headed by Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda will vote on whether to announce that the plant's three damaged reactors have been put into the equivalent of a "cold shutdown," a technical term normally used to describe intact reactors with fuel cores that are in a safe and stable condition.
The prevailing theory for what caused the last shutdown is, well, technical.
It transpired that the huge cost and technical complexity of a multiple shutdown, in what was considered the unlikely event of an abnormally large tsunami, had led managers to discount such a scenario as implausible and inefficient, he said.
Despite some opening-week technical problems, including a brief shutdown for an upgrade, customer service is an area where Orbitz said it hopes to make headway against its competitors.
An ITER-like ICRH antenna, new or improved Diagnostics, modifications to the existing divertor to operate at higher triangularity and higher power, which will be installed during the scheduled 2004 shutdown, constitute the technical scope of the long term enhancements.The JET Enhancements benefit from significant contributions also from international collaborations with non-European laboratories.
Furthermore, it is assumed that the lowest quintile would not be immediately affected by the shutdown scenario, since technical and professional jobs directly and indirectly associated with AGS typically compensate at a higher level and hence not adjusted.
But Saaf said that his company had no problem with Revision3 as a whole and that the shutdown resulted from technical glitches on one or both sides.
But Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said the accuracy of those numbers was undermined by the fallout from the shutdown as well as technical problems in California.
Saturday marked the second site shutdown since April 2014, when a technical failure involving a regulating valve in the steam turbine of Reactor 2 was almost immediately followed by a leak in a water supply pipe in Reactor 1.
