Vermont Yankee and Pilgrim Nuclear in Plymouth, both run by Entergy, are of the same design and age as Fukushima.
Heads
up! The corporate-run media is silent; CLG is not.
Tepco to conduct
plutonium-infused fuel removal test at reactor 4 04 Nov 2013 The utility had
intended to start removing the fuel rods from the unit's packed cooling pool as
early as Friday. The test was requested by the Japan Nuclear Energy Safety
Organization. The government-affiliated agency called for an initial test that
would include transporting a protective fuel cask from the No. 4 storage pool to
another pool in a different building about 100 meters away, to provide more
stable conditions for cooling spent fuel, the sources said. More than 1,300
spent fuel assemblies and more than 200 fresh ones, including some containing
plutonium-infused mixed-oxide fuel, remain in the pool.
