David
Webb, Chief Executive Officer of Origin Investments AB (Sweden):
I think we should keep in mind that TEPCO declared plants 1, 2 and 3
to be in cold shut-down. And of course we now know that was not the
case. Other people were pointing out that the cores had melted down
through the facility. We now know that is the case. [...]
[...] the
most dangerous thing is the cooling pool of Unit 4. Now it is
terribly dangerous because the entire hot core of reactor 4 had been
removed and put in this cooling pool shortly before the tsunami.
[...]
The entire
area is weakened and there is a great risk of an aftershock. Now this
pool contains something on the order of 400 kg of hot plutonium. So,
the thing that people should be aware of is that TEPCO is going to
begin attempting to remove these rods [...]
The media
coverage of the situation has been almost non-existent. The public
must become engaged and the governments must become engaged because
this is a global threat. [...]
This
is perhaps the greatest threat humanity has ever faced. [...] the
measures that the Japanese government is discussing at this point are
not sufficient, I believe. Other governments must become engaged in
this.
