Clear view in unit 3's pool (Fukushima)

6. Yes

Nuclear material was lifted from containment.

Microscopic, indeed. That is what is really scary. Some was lifted all the way around the world. And is being filtered by lungs across the USA! Thanks, Tepco.

Still the question is: Where did all this material come from? The pool or from the core?

3 was known to have lots of plutonium. They called it MOX fuel. Did you know Duke here in NC experimented with MOX and decided they would best just not fuck with that shit? So 3 is a special case. 3 is pushing the science and no one knows just what happened there. It may be years before it can be examined close enough to know. I mean heck, there is not one nuke scientist who can spend much time close by, and the pools are covered with debris and no rods have yet been removed, so how can they study it?
