Abstract
The risk of an unstoppable pyrophoric fire starting in the spent-fuel pools on Fukushima Daiichi Reactors 3 and 4 continues to alarm many scientists and government officials around the world. Why is this paper needed? Mr. Kitazawa, the chairman of the Fukushima Accident Council stated: ?It takes a [long] while to remove all the spent fuel from the pool. There is no appropriate solution for that.? In other words, a whole World of ?experts? simply don't know what to do! This is because no experienced experts yet exist since no one has, ever before, needed to stabilize a fuel pond that was precariously perched on a crumbling building under such daunting conditions, fully expecting a major earthquake at any time! Clearly, we must now consider unorthodox solutions. This paper presents the first and only solution that is both thorough?AND (hopefully) will be done soon-enough: We cannot immediately bring the spent fuel rods safely down to the ground, therefore, we must immediately bring the ground up to directly support the Spent Fuel Pond itself.
