In reply to the discussion: Fukushima - they are planning to move fuel rods from the hottest spent storage pool in Nov. (scary) [View all]FBaggins

You have been wrong about Fukushima from day one.
And yet... for all the times you've repeated that and been challenged on it... you haven't provided a single example.
And notice there are no pictures of the rods in the spent fuel pools, no videos from deep in the #4 pool.... Or do you have one pic up your sleeve?
There have been lots of such photos and videos... and you've been given them multiple times in the past. Including those from pool #3 where you and Arnie continue to claim that there was a nuclear explosion in the fuel itself (yet it sits right there). They've even removed two fuel bundles from the pool to check for damage and measure any corrosion from the use of seawater.

Fukushima - they are planning to move fuel rods from the hottest spent storage pool in Nov. (scary) [View all]

OP
All spent fuel rods have plutonium in them - during fission, some of the uranium captures neutrons

Yup, that's why they are worried - better to TRY to get this done now rather than later

Funny, it's on Reuter's front page RIGHT NOW, but it's NOT "late breaking news" per DU? go figger.

There was (still is?) an official advisory to US citizens to not stay for more than a year

Of course, transporting such hazardous materials by truck would not be so safe,

No, I'm not saying. Reuters is saying, based on the people they interviewed
