Yokota Airmen play essential role in cooling Fukushima power plant
YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan -- Airman 1st Class Jeremy Hamblin, 374th Maintenance Squadron metals technician, watches closely as a computer numerical controller drills holes in a sheet of metal, which will be used to make a flange for Japanese relief worker here March 26. After completed, Australian engineers will pass them to Japanese relief workers who can use the newly created flanges to help cool down the nuclear reactors and help stabilize the nuclear power plant in Japan.
