  6. No more Fukushimas

    The earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan one year ago today precipitated the most serious nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.

Spent fuel pools, unlike nuclear reactors, are enclosed in no primary containment building. The one atop Reactor 4, which also has the "hottest fuel," sits directly exposed to the elements after an explosion blew the roof off the building March 15.
