Title: Nuke dangers nowhere near resolved: Kan’s crisis adviser

[...] But a former special adviser to Naoto Kan, who was prime minister when the crisis started, warned that the situation is far from resolved and said Fukushima has exposed a raft of serious nuclear problems that Japan will have to confront for years.“I would say (the crisis) just opened Pandora’s box,” Hiroshi Tasaka, who has a doctorate in nuclear engineering and is now a professor at Tama University, said in a recent interview with The Japan Times.
He was one of a select group who glimpsed the secret worst-case scenario document written up by the Japan Atomic Energy Commission on March 25 that was later reportedly quashed by the government. [...]
[T]he No. 4 unit [...] fuel rods were in the pool outside the reactor, and its coolant water fell dangerously low.
Adding to the danger is that the fuel pool is now directly exposed to the outside environment after a hydrogen explosion blew off the upper part of the reactor building on March 15, Tasaka noted. [...]

I agree with this statement: “I would say (the crisis) just opened Pandora’s box,”
We are all getting gifts from this Pandora’s box. This is not a gift that I want.

Awesome. Now if this is how Japanese people are seeing the situation I am pleased. If it wasn’t such a radioactively volatile environment I might change my mind about braving a trip to there. He proves people are alive in the mind there and fighting for the right things still.
It was disturbing when he talked about the plant with 3000 tons of fuel present though. Big props to this great artist and human being. Secrets and lies.

GE opened the can of worms and continues to promote these dangerous facilities for profit. What a species.
