The massive quake knocked out cooling systems to reactors at the country's Fukushima nuclear plant.
Staff also misunderstood problems that arose with the cooling systems for reactors 1 and 3.
Waves knocked out cooling systems to the reactors, leading to meltdowns at three of them.
It took Tepco three hours to announce that the cooling systems had been shut down.
The power plant's cooling systems failed after the quake and tsunami, leading to the reactors overheating.
We know how to improve the efficiency of your existing heating and cooling systems.
Even better, instead of expensive cooling systems and specialized materials, the cone simply spins.

Technologies including multi-core processor chips, more efficient power supplies and smart cooling systems are already available.
Instead, in Howard Beach, floors were ruined, heating and cooling systems wrecked and walls overtaken by mold.
Finding ways to dispel this immense heat requires expensive cooling systems and more expensive heat-resistant solar materials.

Last month a power cut shut cooling systems for four spent fuel ponds.
In March, a power cut shut cooling systems for four spent fuel ponds.
Above all, they can be made intense even at room temperature, whereas competing technologies require bulky, expensive cooling systems.
To keep things safely frozen, cooling systems have been installed in the ground.
Fortunately, to cool one BTU, most cooling systems require only about one-third the power drawn by the device being cooled.

At the Fukushima Daiichi plant, cooling systems failed in the aftermath of an earthquake and tsunami when electrical power was lost.
But if cooling systems had not been restored, it is possible that the water in the ponds could have started to boil.
Mulpuri says the premium his company will charge for the glass should be offset by the savings in heating and cooling systems.

And yet, getting more out of power-management and cooling systems represents only a small part of the real problem, which is IT infrastructure utilization.
In the past month, Fukushima nuclear plant has experienced two power outages that shut down some of its cooling systems for spent fuel ponds.
The failure of diesel generators, which power water pumps that are critical to reactor cooling systems, was a leading cause of the current crisis.
All cooling systems were operational by early Wednesday morning, Tepco said.
Rats were also believed to have caused two power cuts in the last month, shutting down some of the plant's cooling systems for spent fuel pools.
Normal cooling systems don't require the massive amounts of water -- around 7 metric tons (1, 850 gallons) per hour -- now being poured into the reactors.
About 160, 000 people had to be evacuated from the area around the nuclear plant, where meltdowns occurred at three reactors after tsunami waters knocked out cooling systems.
