A 400-kilogram machine part fell into a nuclear fuel pool at Japan’s crippled Fukushima plant Friday, the operator said. Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO), said it had not detected any significant changes in radiation readings or in the level of pool water at the No. 3 reactor.
Check with Archimedes about that last bit. I'm pretty sure the water level changed just a bit.

Relatively speaking then, this is just a glitch.

This sounds like it was a tool being used to remove or move spent fuel rods in the pool (if that is the “pool” being referred to here). Not a problem, except for those extra 400kg of dead weight that could comprise the structure of the damaged pool. Sounds like something to keep an eye on. If the crane over the pool is damaged they will need to spend a lot more money and time to build a new one. I have a hard time thinking a chain or coupling or hook made the thing break and fall. The entire crane assembly may be damaged, and this means that the work to remove the spent fuel is delayed and compromised. What we don’t want to hear about, is if the pool collapses. That would be major suckage.
