If a thousand nuclear fuel rods rest precariously in a unmelted tank, and nobody cares about it -- are they really dangerous?
Fukushima nuclear plant set for risky operation

Engineers are preparing to extract the first of more than 1,000 nuclear fuel rods from one of the wrecked reactor buildings.
This is seen as an essential but risky step on the long road towards stabilising the site.

Who knew being so lucky in maintenance planning, would end up being

Nobody could've of ever predicted ...
But it's not really a problem -- until it's a Problem -- now is it?
