He's "taking time" to spread misinformation. Not educate/explain.

For instance... he just clearly left the listners with the impression that reactors that are currently down in refeuling outages continue to produce 5% of their power and need to cool that amount... and that they could be down to a single diesel while others are being worked on. That simply isn't true. He also throws "Fukushima" in there a few more times for seasoning... claiming "that's exactly what happened at Fukushims" (with a loss of off-site power), when in fact that was NOT "what happened". Add a significant earthquake and massive tsunami knocking out all cooling... THEN you have "what happened".

Once again... you don't need great big pumps to cool a spent fuel pool... and therefore don't need backup diesels to power said pumps.
