Tepco says getting spent fuel rods out of the pool at Reactor 4 would take at least 4 years to finish.  They say they need to clear the pool, build a new one around the broken old one to be able to hold new crane, and so on.  They haven’t even started any of them yet.  It’s taking for long time when there is possibility of another big earthquake could happen soon.
Prof. Arnie Gundersen says: it’s soluble within 3 years using dry cast storage pulled by air.  He thinks the money issue gets in the way, but also says that if the nuclear regulatory commission says “Do it.”, then it will happen.”

Japanese nuclear reactor specialist, assistant professor of Kyoto University research reactor Institute, Mr. Hiroaki Koide has been warning the danger of the reactor 4 since the disaster occurred.  He commented at the NYC Press Conference May 4th 2012: The amount of Cesium137 released from Fukushima disaster is 170 times more than Hiroshima bomb.  Over 5000 times more than Hiroshima bomb in the spent fuel pool at reactor 4.
