I read that earlier, no active cooling required as long as the ponds are full of water. The question I have is the accident was in 1986 but they restarted the other reactors and didn't shut them down till 2000. Are they talking about rods from 1986 or from 2000 being safe?The good news is that Chernobyl was so long ago, the short hot isotopes are gone or much reduced. The heat load is no longer big. A Fukushima isn’t in the cards.
They also said the plant has emergency generators and two days worth of diesel, if the generators are undamaged they can just bring in more diesel.
