Helicopter photos confirm reactor No. 4 spent fuel pool has boiled dry (LA Times)
=======================================

As the article states, units 1, 2, and 3 had hydrogen explosions. Because
reactor 4 was shutdown at the time of the quake, there was no hydrogen generation
from a hot reactor, hence no hydrogen explosion in unit 4.

Therefore, unit 4 is the only one that still has a roof over the fuel
pool. Since there is still a roof on the building, a helicopter pilot can't
see the fuel pool..

Here's a picture that shows what a high flying helicopter pilot would see:

The walls and roof area around the spent fuel pool are intact. The holes in the
sides due to the blasts from the other plants are lower down on the building.

Once again, science and intellect win out over agenda-biased knee-jerk responses.

Try again... better luck next time.
