the years have been built to very exacting specifications and you don t, however, predict an earthquake that occurs once every 500 years to occur as soon as this one did. so, that the even a very well constructed reactor could easily have difficulty given the magnitude of the quake. eric: and potentially talking about another hydrogen explosion, and one of the container buildings of the second reactor. what do you predict could happen next? and how do we stop it? obviously there s a lot we still don t know but i would emphasize so far underline so far the containment structures of the first and so far the second reactor appear to be working and it may well be in one or both of the reactors there has been a partial melt down of the reactor core but the containment vessels appear to be holding. and, after all that what is the containment vessels are there for, in the event of a catastrophic failure to prevent

and understand nuclear power is one option, but we shouldn t take that option off the table by running nuclear power plants in unsafe way, because obviously catastrophe like this could eliminate the possibility of that option. so we believe that nuclear plants really have to make an extra effort to be as safe and secure as possible, and unfortunately that doesn t seem to be the attitude of the nuclear industry, even in the united states or abroad. let me ask you one last question about that attitude and seriousness about safety. if there is a meltdown, god forbid, at either of these affected plants, we will be counting on the containment units around the reactors themselves to confine the damage, just so we understand it. can you explain for a lay audience what containment unit is like, if one has ever been tested in a real life disaster before and if we should assume they might be compromised by the earthquake and tsunami themselves? well, the containment structures are generally

serious new threats. in fact, now they say all of that water, millions and millions of gallons being pumped into the reactors, could lead to a molten radioactive mess. bursting into the outside world. the new york times got its hands on a report from the nuclear regulatory commission. it warns that the containment structures now filling with radioactive water are under so much stress, that they could crack in another aftershock. and, they are the last line of defense. engineers are also warning that the release of hydrogen and oxygen from the water could lead to new explosions. they re also warning about spent fuel pools. we ve been talking about this for some weeks now. experts say previous explosions have torn away their roofs, leaving them exposed to the air. also to libya now, where a former u.s. congressman is making a personal appeal for moammar gadhafi to step down. curt weldon is in tripoli this morning where he s said to be meeting with gadhafi. weldon tells the new york
