via The Guardian / November 7, 2013 / A video animation by the operators of the Fukushima plant, the Tokyo Electric Company, shows how 1,534 damaged fuel rods will be removed from the site. A robotic crane will move the rods from a storage pool damaged by March 2011’s earthquake and stored more securely in an on-site facility.

Thanks for that expert analysis.

Wow, is that all there is to it? And so many fantastic, hard working and mostly likely very cheerful employees. Tepco is just one big happy family.

Removal of fuel from #4 storage pool is the easiest of the fuel removal tasks which must be performed to completely shut down Fukushima Daichi. The Japanese deserve credit for their progress. However, no one has successfully removed damaged or melted fuel rods, such as the ones in the other three reactors. International assistance and supervision should be required to prevent further, international radiation contamination from those more difficult tasks.

Here’s the short version of that:
Arnie Gundersen: I really hate Tepco, but I can’t actually find much to disagree with, so I’ll just do some nebulous scary talk, then contradict what I’ve said previously by claiming that unit 4 isn’t that important.
(and for those that don’t know, Fairewinds is really just Arnie Gundersen)
