In reply to the discussion: Fukushima - Unit 4 spent fuel removal >99% complete [View all]FBaggins
(26,748 posts)They're the ones providing essentially all of the real data. the competing narrative (Gundersen, Wasserman, Caldicott, Busby, etc, etc, etc) literally make thing up out of whole cloth.
It's hard to be less believable than a corporation trying to protect its profits, but these guys make it look easy.
Like saying > 99% in the subject line when the linked page says "More than 75%"
Sorry. That's not "fudging"... that's poor reading comprehension on your part. The subject line clearly refers to the amount of spent fuel removed... the graphic's percentage (which hasn't been updated in some time) refers to all assemblies in the pool - but the 180 unused fuel assemblies were also mentioned in the next line of the post. That would take another month or so, but is of less relevance since they aren't particularly radioactive.
or downplaying any risks
Only "downplaying" so-called "risks" that Wasserman/Gundersen entirely invented. That's really not the same thing as downplaying actual risks.
Also, what does it mean, "2 leaking fuel assemblies and 1 deformed fuel assembly" that still need to be transported?
Just what it has meant since they first reported it. One assembly was damaged a couple decades ago and has been in the pool all along. It won't fit in the standard transfer device without modification. There are also two assemblies that were reported as "leaking" minute amounts of gas through pinholes (two in unit 4 and a few dozen in other units). This is an even older incident.
