14. The Bombs Dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki Had a Fraction of the Radioactive Material
that has already spewed from Fukushima, and there are many tons of it left to spew.
At least one spent fuel pond has exploded and scattered framents of plutonium fuel rods all over the site.
Much of the site is too hot for even kamikaze workers.
3 reactors are in various stages of meltdown, but workers can't do anything except continue dumping in water in the ones they can still get near.
If any one of them hits the groundwater, then it all gets ejected into the environment — reactor cores, spent fuel, everything.
It is likely that the force of the the explosion would rupture the reactors next to it, and so it goes.

I don't know how anybody can still think this is a good idea.
