Regardless of what agendas they are trying to protect or hide, how much it will cost, the effect on Japan or the world's economy, or what political chains this will yank.  The nuclear industry needs to come clean. If this leads to every reactor in the world being shut down, so be it. If the world governments truly care about their people and this planet, this is what needs to be done.  Renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku stated in an interview a few weeks after the initial accident that "TEPCO is literally hanging on by their fingernails." They still are, and always have been. The Japanese have proven time and time again they are not capable of handling this disaster. Now we are entrusting them to execute the most dangerous fuel removal in history.  We are extremely lucky that this apocalyptic scenario hasn't happened yet, considering the state of Reactor 0. But for many, it is already too late. The initial explosions and spent fuel pool fires may have already sealed the fate of millions of people. Time will tell. Anyone who tells you otherwise is not being honest, because there is just no way to know.
