Japan has also ordered two giant pumps, typically used for spraying concrete, from the U.S. They are being retrofitted to spray water first, according to Kelly Blickle, a spokeswoman at Putzmeister America Inc. in Wisconsin. At least one similar pump is already in operation at the plant.They should consider putting flyash into the mix somehow -- perhaps by spraying the entire thing with flyash after the concrete is laid down. But do they know this? It's breaking news in science, which means they may not have heard of flyash's usefulness in maintaining concrete structures.
So much information flies across the internet every second, but getting that information to the right people at the right time is another matter entirely. I hope they at least consider how flyash might assist their efforts to cover the reactors in long-lasting concrete.

Reminiscent of the Gulf spill, all these ideas to help and no way to get them to the right source. Maybe someone should start a 'come here for help' site.
