The beleaguered Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) that operates the stricken Fukushima Daiichi plant will attempt to take out spent fuel rods in Reactor No 4 - an extremely dangerous process that could unleash high levels of radiation if something goes wrong. Any error in the removing of these is going to be disastrous. We are all in a sense crossing our fingers, nuclear scientist Imad Khadduri told Al Jazeera. The task at hand has been described as unprecedented. Weighing some 400 tons, the radioactivity of the rods is equivalent to 14,000 times of what was released in the Hiroshima bombing in 1945.
