No, it had been in the core for about 15 months. And I have handled unirradiated fuel with my hands. No problem.
If you are paying attention, at one point in video #3 @ 7:20, an area in the pool is boiling. Besides in some shots steam rising from the reactor location in the background and debris strewn everywhere.
The #4 reactor was not in use at the time of the great quake and had its lid off for a shroud replacement and supposedly all reactor core assemblies are in with the other spent fuels rods. About 1331 fuel assemblies in the #4 SFP. The pool was only designed for half that amount of weight.

There is no video in the link I asked about. It's a .PDF file. Or are you one of those jerks who posts random comments to anyone unlucky enough to ask you a question??
If there is a point you're trying to make, say so, specifically. I'm not going to indulge in consulting either a Ouija board or Magic 8-ball trying to figure it out.
If you can’t keep up with your own posts then don’t post.
Basic BWR reactors are a failure on many fronts. Costs. Nuclear wastes. Environmental and human risks.
But you are set to continue down the path of fission destruction with next generation reactors either for power or heat generation. Never mind the experiments in 1st generation and 2nd generation and 3rd generation and so on, designs are all failures mainly due to costs of nuclear waste storage but you are all ready for the compact version of fission and ignoring the results of large output fission reactors.
Some people never learn.
Either you have a small reactor and refuel it yearly or use more powerful fuels to extend the refueling time but what you end up with is dealing in plutonium spread out all over the world.
Britain already has more plutonium than it knows what to do with along with other nuclear countries. Must be creating a new market to unload the stuff in someone’s backyard while ignoring the consequences.
Japan says the 3 blown nuclear units at Fukushima are in cold shutdown but have no idea where the (3) cores are and they are certainly not contained. The experiment continues...
I keep up with my posts just fine....it's yours that make no sense. You post a PDF file from www.platt.com which covers probably a dozen different topics. I ask you which one of that multitude of subjects you're trying to address, and you refer to a video totally unrelated to the PDF. Random nuttiness. Unfortunately, I've dealt with your type before..... rational thought and conversation isn't possible. Soooo......goodbye.
You can’t see because you can’t focus.
