No pics, or anything other than your wishful thinking that's its all good and under control?
I get the denial. It is normal human action to deny the facts when dealing with such a calamity. This is a major screwup and the radiation is leaking all over the place. Not just from the melted cores that are polluting the groundwater but also into the air. Every worker there (about 20,000 so far) has to be suited up just to enter the gates. And there are still 150,000 residents who have been forced from their lands, never to return.
ON EDIT: The vid FB posted may or may not be from #4. Even if it is, it shows just a small section of the huge pool and that part may just be the UNUSED rods that have never been heated up which is what has been removed: UNUSED rod.
If it was all so cool, they would just yank the rods out and be done with it. Thank gawd FB is not running the show over there, eh?
