Emphasis Added
Most discussion of the No. 4 spent fuel pool has focused on an earthquake causing the pool to collapse. This video is different because it reveals:
- A crack, rather than the collapse of the pool itself, can be the end of Tokyo
- The quake that could put a crack in the pool and be the end of Tokyo does not have to be a large one
- The sense of shock when people in Japan are made aware of this information for the first time
