Short-lived isotopes like iodine are no longer there, so what is there is sees yum, stron see up, plutonium and other long lived isotopes. whats happening close to that reactor is probably really powerful gama rays, like an x-ray. when the fuel rods burn or become volatile like dr. von hippel said, when that happens, now particles are released. the particles are affecting people off site in the rain and falling on their clothing and things. my guess is the biggest problem is direct gamma rays, x...

Short-live d isotopes like iodine are no longer there, so what is there is cesium and strontiun and plutonium and other long-lived isotopes. whats happening close to that reactor is probably really powerful gamma rays, thats like an x-ray, but when the fuel rods burn or become volatile like dr. von hippel said, when that happens, now particles are released. so the particles are affecting the people off site in the rain and falling on their clothing and things like that. my guess is the biggest p...

About 30 minutes they could no longer see anymore flames. obviously theres a cooling issue there. what are the risks and what needs to be done urgently? >> the urgent thing is you have to keep water going into that nuclear fuel pool. its not being cooled. they are just pumping salt water in and its boiling off. almost like a pot on the stove. it will keep boiling off. you have to make up for whats boiling off. if the water drops and fuel becomes exposed, it causes a very high gamma ray exposure ...

Its released and then radioactive and then its gone. so in eight seconds its not going to make it to america. so the longer life isotopes may get into the wind and the jet stream which comes from the west. if you ever fly from new york to l.a., it always takes longer going from l.a. to new york. the wind is always coming from the west. so, yes, the wind could get here. seven to ten days after a major radiation exposure or leak. we havent seen anything like the word majorette. lets hope it doesnt...

Scientists and bystanders ran for safety as a giant space balloon got free and dragged along the desert, overturning cars. the balloon was a research project, but scientists -- to study gamma rays in space. researchers say the freak gust of wind may have caused the accident. no one was hurt in that, but look at that video. crazy. and a jaw-dropping scene in tulsa, oklahoma. yes, thats a car sticking out of a parking garage. whoopcys. it happened yesterday. police say the drivers foot got stuck...
