“…So here you have a spent fuel pool with not the contents of what one nuclear plant has but spent fuel from over the years. So, it’s not a thousand more radioactivity than the Hiroshima bomb, it could be tens of thousand more radioactivity than the Hiroshima bomb. The scenario is; the water is out, the zirconium gets hotter and hotter, they explode, there is no containment just a corrugated steel roof, it all blows out and you would have a dark cloud moving with the winds which are incidentally blowing from the west to the east. Some of it would fall out over the pacific and some of it would hit where you are…” Karl Grossman
