14. Yep... but "unlikely" isn't definite enough for this gang.

When they say that recriticality is not absolutely impossible, but it highly unlikely... how do they hear that?

I read one yesterday that said that Tepco had been lying all along about reactor #4 and that fuel had been loaded into the reactor just before the earthquake.

In the container vessel of reactor4, melted fuel is stocked,but there is no technology developed to pick it up,It’s only the matter of time for it to have melt-out.The longest time would be one year. (ooh... any day now!)If another earthquake hits it, it’s over.Technically speaking, if it goes melt-out, it would flow to the sea.Pacific ocean side of Japan and west side of America won’t be inhabitable anymore.
