Jessica Desvarieux of The Real News Network interviewed Fairewinds' Arnie Gundersen about TEPCO beginning the process of fuel rod removal from Fukushima 4. Here's an excerpt:

So, first off, the racks rattled side to side. There was another reactor in Japan at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa on the other coast that experienced an earthquake a couple of years ago, and the racks became distorted. It's like a pack of cigarettes. And if it's a fresh pack, you can pull the cigarettes and it out. But if it's a crushed pack, the cigarettes get stuck. So the first problem is that these things have been beat up by the earthquake, and at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa they jammed some of the fuel.

Arnie Gunderson: Agencies overseeing cleanup like the IAEA are biased towards defending and promoting nuclear power
