For our safety and theirs, we must help Japan to promptly and properly dispose of the nuclear fuel rods in the Fukushima complex, especially in the seriously damaged reactor building No. 4.
Why is this important?
The Number 4 building of the Fukushima nuclear reactor complex is severely damaged and likely to collapse with the next minor earthquake. High up in the builiding sit a large number of used fuel rods submerged in a pool of water. If the building collapses, these rods wlll become exposed to air and their zirconium cladding will burn, spreading radioactive materials including Cesium all over Japan and all over the world.
