By Jim Barnett, CNN Senior Producer April 7, 2011 -- Updated 2332 GMT (0732 HKT)Washington (CNN) -- Nuclear experts at the Union of Concerned Scientists said again Thursday there are many challenges ahead and few options left to Japanese workers trying to ease the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi plant.
"The fact they have to handle two spent fuel pools and three reactor cores with kid gloves, (they) don't have any margin for error," said David Lochbaum, a nuclear engineer and director of the group's Nuclear Safety Project.
"It's hard to say whether things will get better or things will get worse because they have so many challenges to face on so many places that it's going to be difficult to be 100% right all five times. So it is a bad situation over there."
