I've just read a claim that the power company fairly recently re-stacked the storage pools so they could cram more fuel rods in there. It appears that the entire core of reactor 4 was put in the pool 3 months ago.


I don't know what that means, or if the claim is reliable or not. The claim is based on this presentation (pdf). I've skimmed through it, but haven't the background to draw any conclusions from it.


Caveat: The above conclusions are from an environmental organization that is firmly opposed to nuclear power, but generally regarded as reliable and fact based.
