Watching CBS evening new with Scott Pelley
just now reporting on Fukushima. They said they've removed 15% of the fuel rods in unit 4 but that the radiation is so great in the other three units that the technology doesn't even exist right now to remove the fuel rods there. Said it likely would take upwards of 40 years to get this catastrophe under control, over a billion dollars too.
This is insane
How in the hell can anyone want to see more nuclear power plants be built?
