It would be pretty simple.

Weld together lengths of pipe to form a straight peice of pipe long enough to reach from the bottom of the pool to a few feet above the roof.

Drill a few holes near the lower end.

Weld the lower end shut with a plug that is hard and sharp.

Attach a swivel fitting to the top end and a fire hose.

Trail a long fire hose .

This assembly should be carryed by a heavy lift helicopter, the pilot will be breifed as to what part of the roof is directly above the pool.

The pipe dangleing below the helicopter will be centered over the target and released from a hight that will ensure penetration of roof and whatever obsticles are above the pool.

When the pipe has poked thru the roof the hose that trailed behind on the ground will be snagged by soldiers rideing in a tank. they will attach even more hose untill there is hose running all the way to the beach.

ON the beach a fire pump truck will fill the hose , the truck will be manned by firemen who must be rotated frequently, if they can get a heavyly armored tank there the rotation need not be quite as fast.

If the pipe that reaches all the way into the pool is too heavy , then a shorter pipe that only dangles above the pool might still work, but it would have to have a cross piece that would stop it from passing all the way through  and cutting the hose.

In Japan there are storage pools that need to be full of water to contain and cool stored radioactive materiel. Pumps being shut down the pools have boiled dry.

The radiation is so strong in the neighborhood of these pools that it is dangerous to fly over at a low level , but there has been an attempt to refill the pools by dumping water on the roof from Helicopters.

The roof is not holey enough and the helicopters are vbeing flown too high for this method to wet the pools more than a little.

If a nozzle was heavy enough to drop down through the wrecked roof it might could trail a hose, a hose long enough to reach outside the area of dangerous radiation.

By the way , Honda has a really good robot, how hard would it be to walk that into the reactor and storage pool area , just to reconnoiter?

A female worker at Tepco - has written on her blog, speaking up for her 'silent' colleagues who remained behind at the plant.

She had been quoted a little in some overseas English reports but The Straits Times Online tracked and translated her blog to find out her full story when she first posted on popular Japanese social networking site Mixi.

This morning I was forced to evacuate from the power plant and now I'm with my family at my relative's house.

For starters, I'm okay.

"You just need to get somewhere safe ... " is what they said to me when the company car left the facility.

(Tokyo Electric Power Company) TEPCO's really under attack lately ... But it's also TEPCO that isn't running away and is continuing this life-threatening work.

So, please don't criticise them.

As a TEPCO employee and staff of the Fukushima No 2 reactor, I was at the scene till last night. Even with tsunami warnings going off, even though we couldn't see our feet, we were out at 3am in front of the ocean doing repair work. The machines responsible for cooling are out of commission because of the tsunami but everyone's working frantically.

Everyone's tired and hungry and so tired their feet are dragging but they're still working. If we can't get the cooling systems back online, Dai-ni (Plant 2) would explode just like Dai-ichi (Plant 1).

TEPCO are the ones who are trying to prevent that. If we'd just abandoned the plant it wouldn't end here.

So, we're staying and fighting.

The tsunami's effects were worse than we could have ever expected. If it'd just been the earthquake, Dai-ichi wouldn't have exploded.

People are working without a second thought about their lives.

There's a lot of rumours going around but if you're outside the evacuation zone there really isn't much chance of your health being effected.

The only people whose health is at risk are the workers inside the plant. They're going without sleep, without food.

Don't be swayed by all the rumours if you're outside of the evacuation zone.

My boyfriend has been doing night work at the plant the whole time.

Right now all I can do is pray that everyone's okay ...

But the scariest thing is all of the people working at the plant.

TEPCO isn't running away.

People who can't contact their families are still working.

Please don't forget about them.

If only one more person knows about them from this blog, it will be enough.

All of us at the plant are still fighting.

I'm sorry that we've made everyone in Japan anxious.

I know what may come of it but I'm including my name.

There are people working at the plant now who would give their lives to protect everyone.

That's what the situation is now, but seeing everyone putting their lives at risk and working together to bring the cooling systems back online, I'm proud to be a TEPCO employee and staffer at Dai-ni.

I hope I can go back to the plant to work soon.

They should buy tons of dehydrated water and drop it on the target, via helicopter, then hire an Indian to do a rain dance to make it rain, thus rehydrating the dehydrated water.

the problem is not that it can`t be done, it`s mainly about can it be done fast enough.

I have seen better pictures since, penetrateing the roof might not be much problem, the building has a lot of damage that produces access.
