    Chapter 7

    Chapter 7
     
    Tina and Bette were seated at right angles to each other, in one of the alcoves of a Japanese restaurant close to Tina’s office. Their meal complete, they sipped on wild rice tea and continued to learn more about what had occupied each of them since their paths had last had an opportunity to intersect. 
    "You said you were in Tokyo – was that for work or pleasure?" Bette asked, bringing the tea to her lips for another taste.
    "I haven’t traveled for pleasure since the odyssey of graduate studies began," Tina replied. "On that trip, I was an external reviewer on an assessment team for a facility there. A week of nothing but formal tours, equipment calibration and meetings followed by one day in Tokyo before I flew back to California."
    "What kind of facility was it?" Bette wanted to know more about everything that mattered to Tina, and her work was obviously a big part of her life.
    Tina paused. Her modesty about her expertise often kept her from being open about the kind of projects she’d been involved with. But it was important work, and she had a right to be proud of her accomplishments.
    "We were reviewing safety and disaster protocols at the Fukushima Nuclear Plant that’s north of Tokyo," Tina said. "The assessment was two years before the earthquake and tsunami destroyed the coastal region that surrounds it."
    "Thankfully you weren’t there at the time of the meltdown," Bette said, enthralled that Tina would have been involved with something that had implications for the safety of an entire region.
    "The committee mandated that the plant prepare for an unrealistic and exaggerated risk – such as a devastating tsunami. The company that ran the plant didn’t agree," Tina said. "Nevertheless, they were about 70% done with implementing our suggestions when the disaster occurred. Elevating and protecting generators to ensure power to the coolant systems was left to the end, and it didn’t happen in time."
    "So the reactor meltdown could have been even worse than it was?" Bette asked, fascinated at the behind the scenes look at this international event.
    "Three reactors were in full meltdown by the time the salt water flood was approved," Tina said, then leaned forward and lowered her voice surreptitiously. "You understand that I can’t really share many more details. It’s classified."

    10. I’m looking forward to their dinner date. Is Bette going to speed read Stephen Hawking books? Will they make it to the restaurant? Will Tina cancel the reservation and cook for Bette instead? Will Bette be rendered speechless? Will they secretly worry about falling too deeply during the short time they have together? Whose core will have a nuclear level meltdown? Can’t wait to find out!

    14. Thanks for the update. What a differently sweet story. I love the character development as well as the story. Let’s hope the connection this time is much stronger.

    18. Loved it Swimmie! The confidence is building between these two. By next chapter hopefully they will be further along in their personal exploration of each other. Thanks for posting.
