The Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant’s No. 3 reactor
Feb 28, 2021
Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. said Sunday it has removed all 566 nuclear fuel assemblies from the spent fuel pool of the No. 3 reactor at its Fukushima No. 1 plant.
It is the first time that fuel removal has been completed for any of the three reactors that suffered meltdowns in the March 2011 accident at the plant in Fukushima Prefecture.
The fuel removal operation at the No. 3 reactor began in April 2019.
On Sunday, the company using remote control devices moved the last six assemblies to a common storage facility within the plant premises. A large covering was placed over the upper part of the No. 3 reactor building to prevent radioactive substances from being scattered.
Tepco planned to start the fuel removal from the No. 3 reactor building as early as late 2014, but delayed the schedule repeatedly as it faced difficulty getting rid of debris left by the explosion in the building.
The operation also took more time than expected due to machinery malfunction issues.
The removal of 1,533 fuel assemblies from the No. 4 reactor building was completed in December 2014.
Tepco aims to finish pulling all fuel assemblies out of other reactor buildings by the end of 2031, including the No. 1 building, where a lot of debris is scattered about, and the No. 2 building, where radiation levels are particularly high.https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2021/02/28/national/tepco-fukushima-no-1-radiation-3-11-tsunami-earthquakes-fukushima/
Fukushima 311 Watchdogs 
Pyrophoric nuclear waste has been accumulating around most sites and in America for 75 to 10 or 20 years , not 5 or 10 years. All nuclear waste is pyrophoric. Underground Explosion Sparks Fire at Nevada Radioactive Waste Facility tu.be/tK9S-QXiIXk Trump wanted to dilute all the extremely explosive , carcinogenic nuclear waste at hanford that contains pultonium , co60 , cs137 . He wanted to.dilute it with sand and Kitty litter, cement and bury it or sell it as land fill . The waste will start blowing up, like it has in Beatty Nevada and other places. How can humans be so irreponsible and murderous. Especially, those paid to do a job properly. If trump had stayed in power, for another 6 months, the.country would have been up in flames. There probably would have been a nuke used on Iran. Trump has no leadership skills or potential. An irrational pivot of hate, death, and destruction that rejoices in blood-tears, mayhem and murder. Biden is headed that way. This is what the USA calls politics and democracy . This is where the USA is going.a7
