I heard that earlier. The way it was explained is that the rods are kept apart and they realized that the force of the water dropping on top of them might push them together to where they are touching and that could create explosions.NEWS ADVISORY: Seawater injection into No.4 reactor via helicopter too risky: Edano (11:39)

ok - since most of us have been watching CNN - they talked about the spent fuel rods being stored high up in the building. They are kept in like a big swimming pool.
So, question. All four of those buildings look the same - so I'm assuming that all four buildings had spent fuel rod pools high up in the corners.
What happened to the two reactor buildings that blew? We have pictures of the one - with just the "framing" left on the top and the other one is just a mangled mess. What happened to those spen fuel rod pools? Did they have spent fuel rods in them? If so, where did they go?
