Fuel rod removal: Fukushima’s most dangerous operation yields first successes

59. I'm not the one with the active imagination

That would be the people who saw maximum deformations of about one inch (with most of the rest being much smaller than that) out of 70+ feet...

... and imagined that this meant the building was "bulging" and "tilting".

They're the same people who read report that the earthquake caused the entire coastline (for miles around) to subside slightly... and imagined that this means that unit #4 was "sinking".

Then they read reports that hundreds of tons of groundwater was flowing beneath the plant every day. "OMG! All that water must be turning the ground to mush! Liquefaction is going to turn the bedrock holding up those reactors into quicksand!" they imagined. All while ignoring the fact that the plant is right next to the ocean... and groundwater has been flowing through there for millennia.

You dream that everything is just peachy.

Not at all! It's really screwed up and the operators have an embarrassment of errors to deal with.

It just isn't anything close to "mankind's most dangerous hour".
