PLEASE. Can anyone confirm or deny if spent fuel pools at reactor 4 went up?

It is a political situation. Many many high level plush jobs depend on reactors. The navy even jokes that submarines are designed to carry the damn reactor around the ocean. And sad to say ....at least as concerns the 688 class running the S6W reactor.......that seems to be true as they are not as good as far older boats.

I am not afraid of reactors......but I am very afraid of the idiots running them. I could tell you horror stories all night. A chain is only as good as its weakest link.....and in the case of reactors...it is the people running them and making the decisions which are the weakest links. Why we have not had much worst fiasco's than "Three Mile Island" I will never know. I suspect the real reason is the incidents are covered up by our secrecy laws. Twice in my career I have threatened the head of the local Radcon Office to go to NRRO and blow the whistle on what were very unsafe conditions. In both cases I was told if I did......I would no longer be working there. In both cases the threats paid off ....and the conditions I complained about, were corrected. Up to that point.....nobody cared.....even though people were being exposed far above the legal limits established by our country (which by the way.....are 100 times higher than Soviet Union legal limits.....or so I have read). You seem to be approaching this issue from a very theoretical angle utilizing published manuscripts. I am telling you it is a highly political one....and while I will not say they are lying.....I will say I am damn glad to be retired.....and I want to be as far away from any damn reactor as possible.....either land based or on a ship. I lived the life....and walked the walk I did not just read about it. And if I have to go back to using beeswax candles for light.....I will still believe it is for the better.
