I think the primary danger from Fukushima 1 lies in the fact it uses
MOX fuel (mixed oxide fuel, the oxides being of uranium and
plutonium). Also, there is a vast amount of stored fuel outside all

The latest news reports and the IAEA reports make me think the reactors
are now under control and cooled down. The danger of a melt-down
melt-through or recombination explosion rupturing the reactor vessel
seems to be receding.
This morning, NHK broadcast a 15-minute look back at developments
Except that a second fire has broken out in F4 and they fear spent
fuel fires in F5 and F6.

I was puzzled what was going on with F4. Now I understand. The spent
fuel ponds not only protect spent fuel; but, they temporarily store
active fuel rods while they are doing reactor maintenance inspections.
The cores of 4, 5 and 6 have their fuel stored in the SPENT FUEL
PONDS!
Quadruple plus
So why is it bad to have spent fuel around active fuel rods?

Sorta has something to do with neutron density. The water not only
acts as a coolant but also as a neutron moderator.
