Title: Protecting unit 3
Source: World Nuclear News
Date: 20 November 2012
World Nuclear News “is supported administratively and with technical advice by the World Nuclear Association”; The WNA is “supporting a fast-globalizing nuclear industry”
[...] Concrete dust in the [Unit 3] pool has made the water very murky and the debris inside inhibits the flow of water.
The cover will be constructed to encase the damaged reactor building, protecting it from the weather and preventing any release of radioactive particles during decommissioning work [...] it will not be fixed to the reactor building itself, but will be supported on the ground on one side, and against the turbine building on the other. [...]
Tepco aims to remove sufficient debris from unit 3′s used fuel pool to allow the removal of the fuel assemblies to start in fiscal 2014.
The fuel removed from unit 3 will be packaged for transport the short distance to the site’s communal fuel storage pool, although it will need to be inspected and flushed clean of dust and debris. [...]

Somehow I doubt that any of the remaining fuel will be in a state that allows them to commingle it with the fuel in the common spent fuel pool.

"preventing release of any radioactive debris" Yeah right what about the corium merrily steaming it's way into the lava rock into the Pacific Ocean, our bread basket. What about the corium? Have you found it using the muons? How are you going to stop it, wait five years? What about evacuation of Tokyo and the numerous hot spots and the list is never-ending. I have grown weary. I apologize.

Another usual lie.

A little truth wrapping a big lie.
I don't doubt the concrete dust is damaging the flow, but so what.
get all the fuel out and cope with it.

Industry mouthpiece says: "small problem, but nothing that we can't fix… just need a few trillion more dollars, some more disposable meat-robots to do the work (you may call them human beings, but for our purposes meat robots describes how we use them)… send your money, poor people who will sacrifice their genetic material for 8$ an hour, and don't watch what we do or say, and we'll do the rest…
No immediate danger… too cheap to meter… safer than bananas… no deaths from nuclear power ever… pigs can fly… here comes Santa Claus… did i miss any lies?

Nuke plants weren't ever safe on the best day of their lives.
A Carrington event would be the end for all of us….a disgusting, drawn out death, that would make Madmax look cheerful. It that what you want for your kids?
Check out the Carrington here. We are prime time for Carrington now

That cover will be built only to hide what they will do there. We will never know in what state the removed fuel will be.

If there is vision-impairing dust in the water how about hooking up SARRY to the pool and recycle the old water with fresh water? Is the water too radioactive hot for SARRY?

Ahhhh, sounds like total bullcrap!
