In reply to the discussion: What's happening at Fukushima? [View all]FBaggins

Of course you are also the person who claimed that the melted cores weren't melted
I did? Can you find such a post?
and the melted cores were not even hot.
Years later when they weren't hot... but you still thought they were molten and burning further into the ground.
And where do you get this:
"... no spent mox in any of the fuel pools."
Like you are the expert on what was in the spent fuel pools?
It doesn't take an expert... just the ability to read.
Only one unit at Fukushima had begun using mox...and they had just done so a few months before at their most recent refueling. Therefore one third of the core was mox... and none of the spent fuel (since it would have been 3-4 years before the first mox would be "spent". None of the other units had begun using mox, and therefore they wouldn't have "spent" anything either.

"... worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl." I'd call it worse than Chernobyl, but I'm no expert.

The OP has literally claimed that the radiation traveled backwards through time.
