The operator of Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear plant is preparing to remove 400 tons of highly irradiated spent fuel from a damaged reactor building, a dangerous operation that has never been attempted before on this scale.
Containing radiation equivalent to 14,000 times the amount released in the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima 68 years ago, more than 1,300 used fuel rod assemblies packed tightly together need to be removed from a building that is vulnerable to collapse, should another large earthquake hit the area.

A couple of pounds of plutonium distributed evenly across the planet is enough to end all life.
More than just a little was blown into the atmosphere when Fukushima Daiichi Unit 3 exploded.
Three molten reactor cores have burned through their containment vessels and are irretrieviably burrowing into the earth.
Over three hundred tons of strontium and tritium-laced witches' brew disguised as water is finding its way into the ocean daily.
Congress is on vacation and
the President is working
on his golf game.
Don't eat the fish.
Don't breathe the air.
Stay out of the rain.

Call anguish--anguish,
and despair--despair;
write both down
in strong characters
with a resolute pen:
you will the better
pay your debt
to Doom.
--Charlotte Brontë
