Right. I would think that compared to dealing with the reactor cores, this would be a piece of cake.
Maybe power is the limiting factor in all respects, and they're more worried about the top blowing off of a reactor containment structure than they are the spent fuel rods. [Reply]

the thing is, TECHNICALLY viruses can give a person cancer. I doubt that GG has the know-how to use a virus as a biological weapon, but it COULD be construed as a threat. [Reply]

Seriously, you're just despicable. Why don't you fuck off already? We were doing fine without you. More than fine. Take a hint -- you're not wanted. [Reply]
would you like a ban, seriously? we have the ammo for it at his very moment. I'm not planning on doing it, but all we have to do is wait for SK to step up or another mod. [Reply]

Why in the hell can't they get a hose in there? If they can get a hose to put out the fires they've had, why can't they put some water into what is nothing more than an oversized swimming pool?
Mr. Lochbaum, who formerly taught reactor operation for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said the pools measured about 40 feet long, 40 feet wide and 45 feet deep. The spent fuel, he added, rested at the pool’s bottom and rose no higher than 15 feet from the bottom.
That means that in normal operations, the spent fuel is covered by about 30 feet of cooling water.
Depending on the freshness of the spent fuel, Mr. Lochbaum said, the water in an uncooled pool would start to boil in anywhere from days to a week. The water would boil off to a dangerous level in another week or two.
