Nuclear Alert:
Mark your calendars for 08.11.2013
That is the date set to start fuel rod removal from the highly damaged fuel cooling pool above Reactor #4 at #FukushimaDaiichi Nuclear Power Station in Japan.
The process itself is very delicate and dangerous and is usually executed by robots and computers.
This is not an option for the Fuel Cooling Pool above Reactor #4. The floor is tilted, the roof is caved in, and the fuel holding racks are askew.
Manual mechanical removal of new and spent fuel rods is the current option.
>>If any of these thousands of spent and new fuel rods are damaged or touch each other, a massive nuclear criticality could occur.
Not to mention Typhoon and Seismic events in recent days.

NHK WORLD,
Oct 30, 2013: [...] The firm [TEPCO] hopes to begin the removal at the
facility’s Number 4 reactor on November 8th. Tokyo Electric plans to
check whether the rods are damaged by debris that fell into the pool in
March 2011, and to ensure that they do not get caught in the debris
during the removal process. [...]
ABC’s Interview with Yale Professor Charles Perrow,
author of recent article in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientist about
Tepco’s upcoming attempt to remove fuel from the Unit 4 pool: “This
has me very scared.” He warned that one slip-up with the removal of
this highly radioactive fuel could trigger a chain reaction. “Tokyo would have to be evacuated because cesium, and other poisons that are there, will spread very rapidly. Even if the wind is blowing the other way, it’s going to be monumental.”

We’ve opened a door to hell” at Fukushima plant, and may never be able to close it — Radio Host: You mean that even with robots they don’t know where the 3 reactor cores are? (AUDIO)

Date: Oct. 29, 2013
Paul Gunter, nuclear power industry watchdog at Beyond Nuclear: We’ve got 3 reactors, the cores have left the vessel. They’ve burned through the bottom of the vessel. We don’t really know where they are, because the radioactive environment even fries robots that Tepco’s been trying to send in there. They have been sending very innovative robotic machinery and sensors in there to get a picture, to get a reading, and these things don’t return. We have opened a door to hell that cannot be easily closed — if ever. We’ve got those 3 cores that are melting, they could be somewhere in the concrete base mat burning their way through, they could have already burned through and entered into the ground. They hopefully have formed a huge solid ‘elephant’s foot’ of highly radioactive material.Full broadcast for subscribers here (Now available on YouTube here)
Art Bell, host: You mean that even with robotic help, they don’t know where the cores are?
Gunter: Correct. We’ve got 3 molten cores that we don’t have a status report on.
