Cause it's ... stupid? or would you prefer ignorant?
I mean, seriously... you try to bring reason to this issue over and over and over again, and people choose not to listen just cause...
This site is a trip.

So you lied right here. We have the tech
The plant, Gundersen said, "is leaking into the Pacific Ocean extensively" and that thyroid cancers, deformed fish and radioactive animals were being discovered.[20] Gundersen suggested that the contamination could be contained by building a two metre thick Zeolite wall around the reactors, which would absorb the cesium.[9]
In early October 2013, Gundersen stated that due to newly discovered leaks and impending tropical storms, the potential existed for a release of radiation 15,000 times that of Hiroshima.[8]
no one knows where the 3 melted cores are but its definitely in contact with the ocean

I dont think any of what your saying makes sense
'' their solution is doomed to fail, yet we have the tech ''
so... do we have the tech to beat this or we don't? if we have the tech why are we ''doomed to failure''
why has no one stepped forward with the tech? whats Russia/Ukraine doing building a new sarcophagis is we have the tech?
even your Gunderson scientist says the fairy tail of cleaning this mess up in 30yrs is purely political and nothing to do with science.
Get that? : There's no scientific way for us to clean this mess up in 30yrs.. this is what I'm saying - we don't have the tech to clean up!
Also, Gunderson makes some pretty specific statements about Fukushima which make me think this isn't just something minor

He also explains

I never said there is enough radiation to kill everyone, i simply responded to your flippant remark t:
Cause it's ... stupid? or would you prefer ignorant?
as being totally ignorant/arrogant you take your pick. Even your scientist says
''plutonium, strontium and cesium will bleed into the ocean for decades''
you know how bad that is right?
ps - no need to be a jerk either. if you cant debate a topic like a mature adult maybe you should go to GLP or something. I was after a good chat about it, not a girly hairsplitting fight, Bro!

I question his figures there. The calculations I came up with a few years back don't seem to match that estimate.
Arnold "Arnie" Gundersen (born 4 January 1949 in Elizabeth, New Jersey[1]) is a former nuclear industry executive, and engineer with more than 44 years of nuclear industry experience who became a whistleblower in 1990. Gundersen has written dozens of expert reports for nongovernment organizations and the state of Vermont.[2] His curriculum vitae [3] shows Gundersen is a licensed Critical Facility Reactor Operator from 1971-1972.[4]
