Bah, no need to worry! People eat more radiation in a banana!/s
Sick of the Freepers in total denial (yes, even you SatinDoll). I am sorry, but it’s one thing to over sensationalize the dangers, and yet another to be in total and complete denial.
Spent fuel rods are stored underwater for 10 to 20 years before being sent for reprocessing or dry cask storage. Spent fuel rods generate intense heat and dangerous radiation that must be contained. The maximum temperature of the spent fuel bundles decreases significantly between 2 and 4 years, and less from 4 to 6 years. The fuel pool water is continuously cooled (pumps) to remove the heat produced by the spent fuel assemblies.
Spent fuel pools at Fukushima are not equipped with backup water-circulation systems or backup generators for the water-circulation system. Spent fuel pools lack the concrete cocoons of operating reactors but are housed in more conventional buildings that are conceivably more susceptible to damage.
