What is the REAL total amount of nuclear fuel at PLANT No. 1?

I heard last night that at PLANT #1 in building No.4 there are enough spent rods in the pool for EIGHT reactors.

So, how many spent rods are stored in buildings 1,2,3,5,6 ?

My guess is that we're looking enough rods for 20+ REACTORS.

This is going to be a HUGE catastrophe,
most of the details we don't even know about yet and probably never will!

100,000 tons total. Sounds like a lot, eh?

ETA: mind-boggling

I believe I heard him say that at one reactor at Plant # 1 there was 170 tons of spent fuel and at another reactor there was 120 tons. I just thought that any way you look at it there is a lot of spent fuel in these water tanks.

Today 5:30 PM Concerns Raised Over Plutonium In Fuel Rods

NPR reports that some experts are worried about the plutonium in some of Japan's nuclear reactor fuel rods:

Some outside experts are particularly concerned about high levels of plutonium in one of the damaged Japanese reactors. About 6 percent of the fuel rods in reactor No. 3 at the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant are made from so-called "mixed-oxide" (MOX) fuel, which contains plutonium as well as uranium.

According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, MOX fuel presents particular risks in an accident.

For one thing, it melts at a slightly lower temperature.

In addition, plutonium is a particularly long-lived and toxic material. The half-life of plutonium-239 is 24,000 years, so if it escaped in smoke from a burning reactor and contaminated soil downwind, it would remain hazardous for tens of thousands of years.
