Here is a far more level-headed and far less alarmist article on the (indeed, very troubling) situation surrounding the spent fuel rod pools at Fukushima Daichi. (What is it about these "health food" nuts, anyway? Creepy idiots like this give a bad name to leftist public health advocacy.)
^^^^ CB: Are u saying what is said in the less alarmist article is less alarming than the what is said in the more alarmist article ?

"As more information is made available, we now know that the Fukushima Dai-Ichi site is storing 10,833 spent fuel assemblies (SNF) containing roughly 327 million curies of long-lived radioactivity About 132 million curies is cesium-137 or nearly 85 times the amount estimated to have been released at Chernobyl.
The overall problem we face is that nearly all of the spent fuel at the Dai-Ichi site is in vulnerable pools in a high risk/consequence earthquake zone. The urgency of the situation is underscored by the ongoing seismic activity around NE Japan in which 13 earthquakes of magnitude 4.0 - 5.7 have occurred off the NE coast of Honshu in the last 4 days between 4/14 and 4/17. This has been the norm since the first quake and tsunami hit the site on March 11th of last year. Larger quakes are expected closer to the power plant."
