Future action plans
This has three phases leading up to the end of the decommissioning:
Phase 1 - in 2 years, begin the process of fuel removal from the spent fuel pools.
Phase 2 - in 10 years, begin removing fuel debris (solidified fuel and melted cladding).
Phase 3 - in 30-40 years, complete fuel debris removal and the processing and disposal of radioactive waste.
As of the end of February 2012, the full extent of the damage to the RPVs, cores and PCVs was still under investigation.
Up to 40! years to decommission the spent fuel pools??!! Sorry, not acceptable.
EDIT: If it looks like I'm obsessed; I Am. I don't live in Japan but I have the most heartfelt empathies for the people. You are not alone.edit on 18-4-2012 by UFO1414 because: (no reason given)
Medication that can protect humans against nuclear radiation has been developed by Jewish-American scientists in cooperation with a researcher and investors from Israel. The full story behind the dramatic discovery will be published in Yedioth Ahronoth's weekend edition.
The ground-breaking medication, developed by Professor Andrei Gudkov – Chief Scientific Officer at Cleveland BioLabs - may have far-reaching implications on the balance of power in the world, as states capable of providing their citizens with protection against radiation will enjoy a significant strategic advantage vis-à-vis their rivals.

Now the following article is a few years old. It showed up and then it seems like not that much was said afterwards. Which gives me the impression, the real research has been hijacked by the PTB for what obviously would be nefarious purposes.

So the delays in cleaning up the Fukishima mess may be deliberate. Someone else mentioned that it could be a slow-kill method of thinning the population over say 10 to 20 years. Think of all those cancers that are going to show up as the radiation density increases. If the PTB have a cure and protection against radiation sickness, seems to me radiating the world for the PTB might be a good thing.
Anyway, the original link to the 2009 article is HERE.

When the oil well in the gulf bursts, it seemed like every country made an offer or help or support. Even Katrina garnered WAY more international support and attention.
I ask again, why is this not the lead on every newscast?

That's not why.
MSM generally loves fear so much, it creates it.
The reason it's not presented in MSM is because it's too damned real for public consumption. The fear alone would wreck civilization before the earthquake.
Why aren't all countries giving everything they have at this one I can't answer that one.
Maybe the depopulation thing really is true, and the elite are already set up with the crazy tech necessary to colonize another planet.
Who the hell really knows?

I do not think this situation is a me vs. u scenario. Vis-a-vis slow kill method thinning the population. The problem is, the answer is 50 years away (at best). I see an increase of the cancers aforemntioned, but you will never know the cause.

I'm not proud to say this but damn - I'm really starting to resent Japan. Why is that one of the most technologically advanced nations and the most innovative and creative people can't pull together and fix this crap?
And why is it okay with the rest of the world?
Honestly, it makes me want to scream.

The high activity ratio of 241Pu/239+240Pu (> 100) from the Fukushima DNPP accident highlights the need for long-term 241Pu dose assessment, and the ingrowth of 241Am. The results are important for the estimation of reactor damage and have significant implication in the strategy of decontamination.
...
For the non-volatile radionuclides, Pu isotopes attracted great public attention in the Fukushima DNPP accident because Pu isotopes present a large risk for internal radiation exposure via ingestions of contaminated agricultural crops, in particular for 241Pu (a beta-emitter, T1/2 = 14.4 years), with its decay, the ingrowth of 241Am (alpha and gamma-emitter, T1/2 = 432.7 years) will present a new radiation risk.
emphasis mine
Due to its short half-life of 14.4 years, the activity of 241Pu in Japanese soils is quite low (ca. 1.2 for 241Pu/239+240Pu activity ratio, 241Pu decay corrected to March 15, 2011). Therefore, the finding of high 241Pu activities in these samples suggested an additional Pu input. The 240Pu/239Pu and 241Pu/239Pu atom ratios found in these samples ranged from 0.303 to 0.330 and from 0.103 to 0.135, respectively. They were significantly higher than those of global fallout (0.180±0.007, 1σfor 240Pu/239Pu atom ratio, and 0.00194±0.00014, 1σ for 241Pu/239Pu atom ratio)12 and the atmospheric fallout deposition in Japan from 1963 to1979 (0.1922±0.0044, 1σ for 240Pu/239Pu atom ratio, and 0.00287±0.00056, 1σ for 241Pu/239Pu atom ratio)13, indicating new Pu input from the Fukushima DNPP accident.

For soil samples collected in Mito, Chiba, and Kamagaya Cities, although 137Cs activities were significantly higher than the activity level before the accident (Table 1), for example, the Kamagaya soil sample 2 (0–2 cm) collected on the grounds of a Japanese shrine, near the drain pipes from a building roof, had a 137Cs activity of 11429±88 mBq/g, the 239+240Pu activities and 240Pu/239Pu atom ratios were the typical values of the global fallout and no 241Pu could be detected. We concluded this Pu was consistent with global fallout origin. If any, the Fukushima source contribution to the total Pu activity was negligible.
