Happy 25th Anniversary of Chernobyl today! Hard to say why that reactor spent fuel pool is a greater problem,......as they ain't tellin' much...but I could speculate that the cladding of zirconium has reacted and been lost; that the salt in the salt water [so long used for cooling] could have corroded metal and/or deposited out - leaving it difficult for the water to circulate; and many other things are possible. That whole plant is a literal time-bomb!....for an EVEN larger disaster than the large disaster now. NB - that level of radiation given in the article, alone, is alarming!!!
