Cooper/CNN said it would take 100 drops direct hits to fill the pool to cover the rods - ? Not sure where he got that from.

Maybe Cooper’s theme song could be the one from REO Speedwagon (?), that starts, “heard it from a friend, that, heard it from a friend, that, heard it from a friend that....” CNN’s credibility is pretty much shot with me.
Anderson is about as one top of things as Shep is. But just looking at it, it seems these drops would be just that - mere drops in a bucket. Add in that minimal amounts of water will evaporate at a fast rate so more would have to be dropped to make up the difference.
It was said "100 errr 200 drops would be needed"
Each load carried by the helicopters 7.5 tons of water or 1,875 gallons of water.
He did not elaborate if that was for one or more reactors.
