There’s more cesium in that [Unit 4] fuel pool than in all 800 nuclear bombs exploded above ground…

But of course it would happen all at once.

It would certainly destroy Japan as a functioning country…

Move south of the equator if that ever happened, I think that’s probably the lesson there.

It won't go dry and they will eventually cover it up with concrete. Japan doesn't have a suicide wish.

The problem is that the situation is very precarious. The spent fuel pool in Reactor Containment #4 is, as is standard with that design, above ground and is now held up by what is left of the structure and the small amount of shoring up they've been able to do. The pool in #4 poses a special problem in that it is not just the spent fuel from that one reactor. I forget without looking it up but there is over a hundred tons of rods in there, and the spent rods have higher levels of Plutonium than new rods. The radiation levels are so high that even with shielding they cannot get all that close as the suits are not enough. If that pool falls then Katy bar the door. Another heavy earthquake and it comes down. If it comes down Japan as a nation is done and the levels of radiation dispersed outward will be deadly for a lot of the Northern Hemisphere. Not necessarily immediately but over time as radiation exposure is cumulative.
