did you send it in Japanese? I suspect there area good reasons why they don't use liquid nitrogen. One is that they are having trouble getting any resources to the site due to the destruction caused by the tsunami, so sourcing and then shipping in huge quantities of liquid nitrogen is probably impossible right now. And on top of that there's almost certainly a physical reason why it's not the appropriate coolant.
Don't take it personally that they didn't reply -...

Japan's plan to cool a nuclear reactor by helicopter droppings?
Fred V replied to CaptainPanic's topic in Science News
Does anyone know how to get a suggestion for cooling the reactors to the scene in Japan? Approximately how deep are the nuclear piles in the Japanese reactors?
