Not that it is the only one but dumping the spent fuel pool due to containment building failure is one of the things Arnie Gunderson has been worried about. This is terrible... I think that only people with some understanding of the technical issues realize how bad.

I'm not saying that one has to be a technical expert to know it is bad; just that it does require some technical understanding to realize the scope of this is all but unfathomable.
