If that spent fuel pool collapses and catches fire, it will release more radiation than all the bombs exploded in the history of man...that is not my opinion but a fact.

NO - that's your OPINION.

It's not "fact" unless you have some scientific credentials that you haven't told us about.

The good thing about science is that it is true, whether or not you believe in it.
