Title: Fukushima Daiichi Site: Cesium-137 is 85 times greater than at Chernobyl Accident
Source: Akio Matsumura
Date: updated on 4/5/12
Murata
Japan’s former Ambassador to Switzerland, Mr. Mitsuhei Murata, was invited to speak at the Public Hearing of the Budgetary Committee of the House of Councilors on March 22, 2012, on the Fukushima nuclear power plants accident. Before the Committee, Ambassador Murata strongly stated that if the crippled building of reactor unit 4—with 1,535 fuel rods in the spent fuel pool 100 feet (30 meters) above the ground—collapses, not only will it cause a shutdown of all six reactors but will also affect the common spent fuel pool containing 6,375 fuel rods, located some 50 meters from reactor 4. In both cases the radioactive rods are not protected by a containment vessel; dangerously, they are open to the air. This would certainly cause a global catastrophe like we have never before experienced. He stressed that the responsibility of Japan to the rest of the world is immeasurable. Such a catastrophe would affect us all for centuries. Ambassador Murata informed us that the total numbers of the spent fuel rods at the Fukushima Daiichi site excluding the rods in the pressure vessel is 11,421 (396+615+566+1,535+994+940+6375). [...]

They had time and ways to deal with this pool problem and for some reason it has been ignored, Some big players behind this I think, ones that want it to fall I believe !
All the others will go down because of no one will be able to get near them as well as the reactors over a wide area !

I agree: it is not a question of "if", but of "when": let us not forget that the buildings have been weakened by the earthquake and by the explosions; they are now continuously under stress from repeated tremors and from the high radiation which is now out of control on the site and causes all materials to decay; normal maintenance work can no longer be carried out, so that the risk increases everyday. We are not hearing enough about this Common SFP which was supposedly not affected by the tsunami but which pictures clearly show is not intact. It is a gigantic time bomb.

Does anybody on this board believe that the SFP at reactor 4 will stand for another year? We should start a 'dead pool' for it. Everyone can hazard a guess as to how long it will be before it either tips over or burns up…..

Murata has been speaking out about nuclear dangers for some time. From a speech on October 5, 2011:
"Seven years ago, I sent out a message in all directions ,
including top political leaders, warning that electric companies
would be deciding the fate of Japan. It enumerated concrete cases
reflecting the lack of ethics and responsibility like careless management and supervision, false reports, arbitrary decisions
like extending by 20 years the life of a reactor.
If the nuclear dictatorship is allowed to survive, as is at present, electric companies will be deciding the fate of the world."

At this point they cannot contain it. And they are not even CLOSE to doing enough. But they/we MUST contain what is left of it. That starts with SFP4, and the common fuel pool (as far as we can ascertain from TEPCO announcements, and posts and info from people on the ground and essential blogs such as this. Firstly THE TRUTH of what is how bad. Priorities, resources, experts, supports under SFP4, lots of backup pumps, and cooling system hardware and and..

The Japanese goverment is either too cheap or a bunch of cowards to address the ongoing problems at the plant, or perhaps a combination of both. Why wont they march in their entire military to try and contain this disaster?? You gotta give the ussr credit for marching in over a 100,000 troops to build a sarcaphagous after the chernobyl disaster. In japan we get a handful of people at the plant with a shotty cooling sytem rigged to some of the reactors, is it so hard for them to build some sort of new containment building??? We all need to raise awarness on this issue, i challenge someone to make a KONY like viral video to get everyone fired up about fukushima.

I am highly skeptical of all TEPCO news as it has been irrefutably proven that they consistently lie. After not talking about SPF4 for a year now they are talking disaster.
I think there is a good possibility that the SP fuel is already gone. The NRC thought it was gone in 3/11 so why is TEPCO a year later talking about it like it is intact?
Whatever is in SP 4 is likely no where near what was in in before the triple meltdown. I am skeptical of the sudden MSM attention to SP4. I m not trying to minimize the ongoing risk emitting from Fuku but methinks something else is going on not evident to the eye.

Well said Ruth – the NRC chairman accepted the loss of the SP4 walls and thereby water / contents on 15-03-11 – how is it possible that this situation is any different now?

It is possible that we will make it beyond this crisis, and they will recover and relocate these spent fuel rods without major additional disaster. What however is far greater in magnitude is the existence of spent fuel pools filling up all around the world, although my specific concern are those in the United States. While the world has not been called in to act decisively in Japan (a major mistake by both the Japanese government and the world community) far worse is our failure to act at home. For a couple of generations already, we have failed to address the problem of nuclear waste, still we find it "desirable" to approve new construction and license renewal and extensions beyond their original life expectancy. We make a mistake if our focus in only of the canary in the coal mine, Japan's nuclear crisis is but a warning of what could happen without active and careful governmental oversight. Indeed, this is a world problem, and an a international oversight group, not subject to corporations, politics, or local economy should set and enforce standards.

It's a death sentence to work their, so anything Tepco spends time on has to be worth the value of a humans life! I mean your not going to find a crew willing to work for four months, 12 hours a day, to build another pool. One hour their and your going to die!
I agree that we have to assume that the SPF4 is going to go up either because of the rickety structure or because they cannot maintenance it, and thus they have to figure out a way to capture and contain the future SPF4 releases. If not, then Japan will surly be done, again another 400+ tons will be released, which is approx. what has been lost so far. How can a shared fuel pond be protected, moved, or cared for after another 400+ tons with zero containment is 50 meters away? Impossible! Almost 7000 more rods…maniacs!

I've asked this before, and I'll ask again. WTF is Tepco and the gov't doing besides twiddling their thumbs? Apparently just cleaning up the outside for PR reasons.

I hate it when they say "fuel rods" when they really mean "fuel assemblies." Per the pdf below from the Blue Ribbon Commission, there are 1,535 fuel assemblies in the #4 SFP. That's more than 145,000 fuel rods. Nearly 600,000 fuel rods in the 6,375 fuel assemblies in the common spent fuel pool.

Sometimes I think the speakers just don't know the difference, then I remember who we're dealing with – nukes, nuke protector/defenders, and nuke-pushing government flunkies. Very few of whom would not know the difference between fuel rods and fuel rod assemblies. So yeah, it's mostly deliberate minimization. 1500 pencil-thin rods is a lot different from 1500 metal boxes containing 96 pencil-thin rods apiece. Many, most or maybe even all of which have suffered significant damage from overheated and/or melted fuel in those pencil-thin rods, plus damage from huge roof and equipment beams and big chunks of concrete crashing down upon them from above.
For the necessary task of removing those assemblies from the #4 pool before it falls, condition matters. Many will break and spill contents when brought out of the water, and this will cause big atmospheric releases over time (which they may not have). If they simply let it collapse and burn they'll have to evacuate the entire reservation and leave the 5 other units plus common pool to burn. Much bigger releases way beyond what we've seen so far.
Either way (the inescapable reality) they should be expanding evacuations, not be encouraging return. And the rest of the world needs to get prepared.

No, we won't forget or forgive those whose responsibility it was to enlighten the public in a timely way.
Since we in the United States and Canada are bearing the brunt of the radiation from Fukushima, it is impossible to understand why our governments didn't act in our behalf. Someone needs to explain to me why we have a "defense" department that fails to defend us. If the President had spent as much time solving this problem as he has in creating a police state the world would be much better off. What gall our leaders have to stand for reelection. Vote them ALL OUT!
Personally, I am convinced that the worst has already happened with the common SFP#4 at Fukushima. I believe TEPCO is hoping to hide that fact until reactor #2 explodes in order to persuade the public that the other shoe (which has already fallen) is about to fall. That would be the TEPCO way. At the very least they should be taking emergency action to deal with all the spent fuel pools in the U.S. Instead, they are giving the nuclear industry five years to address a few of the safety problems. What madness!
Those who have treated the safety of the American public so cavalierly will eventually watch their own children die because of their inaction. Tragically, many of us will have to do the same.
Ultimately, the fawning corporate media (FCM) will have to address the reality of many people dying in this country from radiation. There is no escape for the Japanese…

The spent fuel pool at number 4 seems to have already burned according to various articles on this site. It seems to me to be equivalent to the fallout of many thousands of nuclear bombs. Can anyone here do the math of how many nuclear warheads are equivalent to the amount of fuel in 1500 fuel rods?
And if there is an explosion that gets to the main fuel storage with 11 thousand spent fuel rods just 50 feet away, what is the equivalent number of bomb fallout that would be released in that fire?
It's hard to fathom that an event which mutates the ecosystem of the whole planet may have already happened.
