A month ago, the Japanese TV show “Morning Bird” discussed the current state of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, and specifically Unit 4, which is in terrible condition. During an interview with Dr. Hiroaki Koide, Research Associate at the Research Reactor Institute of Kyoto University, who explains the immense difficulty in moving the radioactive fuel rods – a process that will not even start until 2013 – the presenter asks what would happen if even a moderate earthquake struck near the plant before the fuel rods can be moved. Koide replies:

That will be the end.
