An Australian nuclear physicist says engineers have not given a
satisfactory answer as to why the cooling systems at two Japanese
power plants are failing. ...

"These reactors have so many levels of back-up that the loss of
primary power and then the loss of secondary power shouldn't have
been enough to compromise the most critical element of a reactor,
which is the cooling system.

"I think we're yet to learn all of the issues that are emerging or
that were triggered by the earthquake."
