 terrible answer to have to give, but the worst case scenario could play out in death to billions of people. A true apocalypse. Since we have been discussing Reactor 4, I'll stick to that problem in particular, but also understand that a weather event, power outage, earthquake, tsunami, cooling system failure, or explosion and fire in any way, shape, or form, at any location on the Fukushima site, could cascade into an event of that magnitude as well.

At any time, following any of these possible events, or even all by itself, nuclear fuel in reactor 4's pool could become critical, mostly because it will heat up the pool to a point where water will burn off and the zirconium cladding will catch fire when it is exposed to air. This already happened at least once in this pool that we are aware of. It almost happened again recently after a rodent took out an electrical line and cooling was stopped for days.

Once the integrity of the pool is compromised that will likely lead to more criticalities, which then can spread to other fuel. The heat from this reaction would weaken the structure further, which could then collapse and the contents of the pool end up in a pile of rubble on the ground. This would release an enormous amount of radioactivity, which Arnie Gundersen has referred to as a “Gamma Shine Event” without precedence, and Dr. Christopher Busby has deemed an “Open-air super reactor spectacular.”

This would preclude anyone from not only being at Reactor 4, but at Reactors 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, the associated pools for each, and the common spent fuel pool. Humans could no longer monitor and continue cooling operations at any of the reactors and pools, thus putting the entire site at risk for a massive radioactive release.

Mathematically, it is almost impossible to quantify in terms of resulting contamination, and a separate math problem would need to be performed for every nuclear element contained within the fuel, and whether or not that fuel exploded, burned, fissioned, melted, or was doused with water to try to cool it off and poured into the ocean afterward.

Some researchers have even ventured to say that other nuke plants on the east coast of Honshu may need to be evacuated if levels get too high, which will lead to subsequent failures/fires and explosions at these plants as well. Just how profound the effect will be on down-winders in North America,
terrible answer to have to give, but the bad subject scenario could play out in death to billions of multitude. A true apocalypse. Since we have been hash out Reactor 4, I'll adhere to that problem in especial, but also understand that a weather consequence, power outage, earthquake, tsunami, cooling system failure, or plosion and fire in any way, condition, or form, at any location on the Fukushima web site, could cascade into an event of that magnitude as well. 

 At any fourth dimension, following any of these possible event, or even all by itself, nuclear fuel in reactor 4's pond could become critical, mostly because it will heat up the pool to a point where water will cauterize off and the zirconium cladding will catch fire when it is exposed to air. This already happen at least once in this consortium that we are aware of. It almost happened again recently after a rodent took out an electrical line and cooling was stopped for day. 

 Once the integrity of the pool is compromised that will probably head to more criticalities, which then can spread to other fuel. The heating system from this reaction would weaken the structure further, which could then crack up and the contents of the pool end up in a pile of rubble on the ground. This would release an enormous measure of radioactivity, which Arnie Gundersen has referred to as a “ Gamma Shine Event ” without precedence, and Dr. Christopher Busby has deemed an “ clear - air ace nuclear reactor spectacular. ” 

 This would prevent anyone from not only being at Reactor 4, but at Reactors 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, the associated pools for each, and the common spent fuel pool. Humans could no longer monitor and stay cooling operations at any of the reactors and pools, therefore putting the entire site at risk for a massive radioactive release. 

 Mathematically, it is about impossible to quantify in terms of resulting contamination, and a separate mathematics problem would need to be perform for every nuclear element contained within the fuel, and whether or not that fuel explode, burned, fissioned, melted, or was doused with water to try to cool it off and poured into the ocean afterward. 

 Some researchers have even ventured to say that other nuke plant on the east coast of Honshu may need to be evacuate if levels get too high, which will lead to subsequent failures / fire and explosions at these plants as well. Just how profound the effect will be on down - winder in North America,
