And in the next 3 yrs. there is a 95% chance of that. The UN needs to demand International Take Over in this very threatening and dangerous situation right NOW. This is not hyperbole.

TEPCO has been "lying through their teeth."

And:

~ "3 of the 4 plants at Fukushima Daiichi were destroyed in the tsunami."

~ 1300 rods of spent fuel remain atop the damaged fourth reactor.

~ the fourth reactor is vulnerable to another major quake.

~ there is a 95% probability of such a quake will occur.

~ If so,

"It's 'Bye-Bye, Japan,' and everybody on the west coast of North America should evacuate. Now, if that isn't terrifying, I don't know what is."


So, TEPCO--inept, proud, pro-nuke sycophants to a one--will attempt to move the spent fuel rods manually, and this isn't the lead story on all forms of media?!?

Yeah, we're such an intelligent species...
