“The used fuel pools at the Fukushima Daiichi reactors are located at the top of the reactor buildings for ease of handling during refueling operations.”

am I understanding correctly that spent fuel rods were stored in the tops of these containment buildings? Are these the same buildings whose roofs have been blown off by explosions? Have the containment rods blown out along with the roofs?

If so, what a cluster!
