4. If it's a spent fuel fire- and I hope it's not- I don't think anything worse could happen. |

6. You know, it's things like this that show there is no God. |

Just think of all the kids who will have shorter lives and die of cancer now.

7. I read an article which said that fire in the spent fuel is most dangerous |
|
Because of the fact that the radiation isn't released as steam, but as particulates- which is what happened at Chernobyl. - the nuclear materials burned-
The the spent fuel rods must be kept in water, if they aren't they will burn. If # 4 is burning- and it's the fuel rods which are burning... this is really, really bad.
I'll see if I can find the article and link it.
