Today, Japan’s NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai/Japan Broadcasting Corporation) reporting that Tokyo Electric Power Company has discovered that at least 80 spent fuel rods, in the GE designed Reactor 1 spent fuel pool, are damaged. TEPCo also says they were damaged prior to the 11 March 2011 quake and tsunami, however, they don’t know how they became damaged.
Last week TEPCo revealed that the spent fuel rods for the GE designed Reactor 4, at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility, were already damaged prior to the 11 March 2011 quake and tsunami!
But wait there’s more! The first Reactor 4 fuel rods were damaged during transfer back in 1982! Then in 2010, more Reactor 4 fuel rods were damaged, also while being transferred!
For some reason main streamer Japanese media didn’t run with story when it came out last week. It was a local Fukushima newspaper that broke the story, then it was picked up by Reuters.
Reactor 4 was already powered down when the 11 March 2011 quake and tsunami hit.
Reactor 4 spent fuel pool has about 400 metric tons of fuel rods. The rods are held in racks, containing 50 to 70 fuel rods each. Don’t think because they are “spent” fuel rods they aren’t dangerous, each rack has the potential explosive power of 10 Hiroshima atomic bombs!
Stupid main streamer U.S. media continues to blame tsunami for “man made” disaster!
