[quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzQwMzA3MDA1X0VGQTRDRkNE] [quote:Anonymous Coward 46805758:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzQwMjk5NDAzXzI3NUQwNEMz] [quote:Waterbug:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzQwMjc5OTU3X0VBQUYxOUFE] Gundersen: They’ve admitted that all the boron has disintegrated in between spent fuel at Fukushima — It can cause a nuclear chain reaction if rods get too close together in pool (AUDIO) http://enenews.com/gundersen-theyve-admitted-all-boron-disintegrated-between-spent-fuel-fukushima-chain-reaction-rods-close-together-pool-audio Arnie Gundersen, Chief Engineer at Fairewinds Energy Education: Tokyo Electric has admitted that the boron between these fuel cells — there’s a boron wafer in between the fuel to prevent something called an inadvertent criticality, you can have a nuclear chain reaction in the fuel pool, and that’s not a good thing — but they’ve admitted that all the boron has disintegrated. So the only thing preventing a chain reaction from occurring […] in the fuel racks themselves, is the fact they put all sorts of boron in the water. But if the rods get too close to each other, they can still fire up again and create a chain reaction in the nuclear fuel pool. [/quote] so, they're going to have another nuclear explosion just like they did back in March 2011? . [/quote] It's going to be like venomous snake handling. Can they avoid the fangs..? It's out of our individual hands, but we all face the consequences of their ability to accomplish a tenuous task which has never been performed before. Zero learning curve. Given Tepco's history.. I'm not very comfortable thinking about it. I'd feel a lot better about it if an highly skilled and independent non-japanese contingent were doing the transfer. The pucker factor will be extremely high once they get started. [/quote]
