NRC Mea Culpa on Fukushima While Globe Ignores Nebraska Nuke

Which is itself a tremendous lie.

"NRC concedes Japan fuel pool not dry" by Associated Press / June 16, 2011

WASHINGTON — Early fears that all the water was gone from a spent fuel pool at the stricken nuclear complex in Japan were unfounded, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission said yesterday.

Newly obtained video shows that the spent fuel pool at Unit 4 at the Fukushima Daiichi complex probably did not go dry as NRC chairman Gregory Jaczko had insisted in March, the NRC said.

Of course, it is not like they have never lied or obfuscated before.

Japanese officials had denied Jaczko’s assertion, which was based on information from NRC staff and other specialists who went to Japan after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

Bill Borchardt, the NRC’s executive director for operations, said US officials welcomed the video evidence as “good news’’ and one indication that the meltdown at the Unit 4 of the Fukushima plant “may not have been as serious as was believed.’’
