Vivek I have a suggestion that has been scientifically proven to cool nuclear reactors in case of disaster. Liquid nitrogen is a supercold cryogenic liquid which can cool nuclear reactor plants without causing any damage.

Reginald Nice Vivek! But it might be logistically difficult. Liquid nitrogen requires atmost care to be transported. After the tsunami, no road would serve that purpose. Also, liq.nit. is only at 3 Kelvin - we'll need lots of it against the thermonuke reactor.

Kevin Conroy85% (or more if you chose to cover fees during your donation) will go to help people in Japan (aka programmatic services if you speak development jargon). 15% will go to cover GlobalGiving's administrative overhead and fundraising costs.

Justin Just wondering, how much of these donations go directly to the cause? I'm aware most organizations take a small portion of the donations to stay up and running, and im curios exactly what percent. thanks^^

mononofu Here is a breakdown of this and other Japan relief charities from Charity Navigator: http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&cpid=1221 That can give you some of the information you seek, I think.

Kevin Conroy Great question. GlobalGiving retains 15% of donations to cover administrative and fundraising expenses, however, unlike other charities, you can chose to cover some or all of this when you make your donation so that 100% of your base donation goes to the people of Japan (aka programmatic expenses)
