I'm not seeing where the hoax is.
Maybe someone could show me.
During a recent interview, Mitsuhei Murata, the former Japanese Ambassador to both Switzerland and Senegal, explained that the ground beneath the plant's Unit 4 is gradually sinking, and that the entire structure is very likely on the verge of complete collapse. To learn more: click here...

The infrastructure to safely remove this material was destroyed as it was at the other three reactors. Spent reactor fuel cannot be simply lifted into the air by a crane as if it were routine cargo. In order to prevent severe radiation exposures, fires and possible explosions, it must be transferred at all times in water and heavily shielded structures into dry casks. As this has never been done before, the removal of the spent fuel from the pools at the damaged Fukushima-Daiichi reactors will require a major and time-consuming re-construction effort and will be charting in unknown waters.

I just read the Japan Focus report and the following excerpt caught my eye. I have machined parts for handling fuel rods for the EBR-2 reactor in Idaho and know that you don't simply snatch and grab a fuel rod. It takes special equipment and procedures to transfer them from one place to another.

Judging by this information they could not be actually transferring rods yet. They have to replace the special infrastructure needed to do so safely.
It seems that every time I come across new and credible information it just gets worse.

The Japanese are big on titles and honorifics so it is entirely possible that Kohei is one or the other and that his real name is what is listed in the video description. Is there anyone here that knows enough Japanese to translate?edit on 21-10-2012 by happykat39 because: typo
