Fukushima No. 1

— Reactor No. 1 - Cooling failure, partial melting of core, vapor vented, hydrogen explosion, seawater pumped in.

— Reactor No. 2 - Cooling failure, seawater pumped in, fuel rods fully exposed temporarily, vapor vented, damage to containment system, potential meltdown feared.

— Reactor No. 3 - Cooling failure, partial melting of core feared, vapor vented, seawater pumped in, hydrogen explosion, high-level radiation measured nearby.

— Reactor No. 4 - Under maintenance when quake struck, fire caused possibly by hydrogen explosion at pool holding spent fuel rods, pool water level feared receding.

— Reactor No. 5 - Under maintenance when quake struck, temperature slightly rising at spent fuel pool.

— Reactor No. 6 - Under maintenance when quake struck, temperature slightly rising at spent fuel pool.

Fukushima No. 2

— Reactor No. 1 - Cooling failure, then cold shutdown.

— Reactor No. 2 - Cooling failure, then cold shutdown.

— Reactor No. 3 - Cold shutdown.

— Reactor No. 4 - Cooling failure, then cold shutdown.

Thanks, I was just yesterday thinking we needed a spreadsheet

[Mr. K]

why the heck is dangerous ‘spent fuel’ being stored above a working nuclear reactor in the first place?

Couldn’t find some place more dangerous to put it?
