First two. it may have resulted in a breach of the internal containment vessel for the first time, may have. we do not have confirmation on that, it may have. again, an explosion is not the same as a meltdown. an explosion at a nuclear reactor is not the same as a nuclear explosion. what happens happened is that the inability to keep enough water circulating over the giant fuel rods, enough water to keep them cool, that has resulted in damaged nuclear fuel rods and that caused three explosions s...

Out someplace, perhaps through a breach, a crack, a valve left open, but if the containment were intact, the pressure inside would be maintaining constant and not decaying as it is or reports show that pressure is dropping. >> in terms of that word containment, it is a word we use commonly not as jargon, it is meant to be several types of structure. containment could be the outside building that surrounds the reactor as a whole. that was what we saw the explosion do so much damage to in the firs...

Release of radioactivity, and that is not helpful for children or other living things. tonight, just a couple hours ago, we got word a third explosion had been heard on site at the fukushima plant. they have three reactors there they have been worried about at daiichi. two had explosions saturday and early today. now it appears the third reactor they were worried about suffered an explosion as well. the first two reactor explosions authorities say didnt result in unconstrained large radioactive ...

Volunteers. it seems as though -- >> i think we just lost lee. if we can get lee back from northern japan, we will absolutely do that. robert bezel is joining us now from tokyo, who has just done a report on nightly news tonight about this third blast at the fukushima reactor in northern japan. bob, what can you tell us about what you learned tonight. >> reporter: rachel, it is ominous news. the company that owns the power plant said that one of the reactors, reactor number 2, where there was ex...

>> martha: on a morning like this, there is a lot of serious news out there. we have the latest on japan. reports are that the fuel rods at one of the nuclear reactors has now become completely exposed. but sea water is being pumped back in again to try to cover those fuel rods up and that will ease fears to some extent about a meltdown. there is also a second explosion at another reactor at a fukushima plant. 11 people were hurt there. youve got the market market of this. the nikkei plunged and...

While the other guys flake is more processed. mmm. great grains. the whole whole grain cereal. >> we have quick headlines. a conservative group is taking a shot closing down the controversial mosque. lawyers for american center for law and justice will argue that the city should have begin landmark status for the building planned to house the mosque. >> a sink hole swallowed two car in downtown milwaukee. the street buckled after a massive water plain break. one driver had just stepped away afte...

Would become -- super, super, hot and somehow get out through the bottom of the containment structure and then into the atmosphere. that would be really, really bad. >> martha: affect ground water and the earth below that where it could cook basically for earth. >> brian: thats why people said it was a hail mary pass on saturday. some experts said, i never heard of this because of the explosion, they put in a -- they flooded in sea water into the area. that destroys the reactors, they did it to ...

Mandatory. but they changed it if you have your lawfully owned guns that. is a violent crime and there is three years mandatory. >> you filed a lawsuit. well find out what happens next. >> thanks. and what do you think about that. e-mail us fox and friends.com. >> meanwhile another explosion overnight in the japanese nuclear plant and now more nuclear material has been exposed. look at that right there. and so much for being fair. one national magazine calling governor scott walker of wiscon...

Because of fission of the nuclear material but because of the natural radiation which distributes about 6 percent of the normal heat generated. so they need to cool them until that radioactive is diminished. if they dont, the rods will melt and then the whole process of containing the reaction gets harder and harder. what we wont see is a nuclear explosion. because these rods are only enriched to about 4 percent. the minimum for a very inefficient nuclear bomb is 20 percent and most is in the 85...

Than the bmw 7-series or mercedes s-class... making the decision to own a jaguar just arational as it is emotional. >> we have another fox news alert. new information on the situation in japan. the fuel are rods in the fukushima nuclear plant are fully exposed raising fears was a possible melt down. there is also an explosion in a different reactor earlier. 7 workers and four soldiers were hurt. united states shifted the 7th fleet away from the coast of the japan worrying about contamination. mi...
