Arnie Gundersen on RT discussing the latest at Fukushima

Russia Today, April 13, 2011:

Transcript summary of interview with Arnold Gundersen, nuclear engineer

* Worst case is unit 4 fuel pool
* Enormous amount of plutonium and depleted uranium
* If that catches fire it could devastate a large area
* Still a danger, they don’t have power to the fuel pool cooling systems
* Unit 4 is the worst because it has the freshest fuel, the most physically hot
* In addition unit 4 has a crack in the side, so even if they had water it would run out the crack
* That is the toughest problem on site right now

about how this is just panic, and that plutonium is good on Salads, and Iodine 131 is great with your chocolate milk.

Clearly, this is serious.
