Page 4 - Radiation Level News Today

Art robinson. or as we like to think of him around here, our own art robinson. >> you have advocated that radioactive waste should be dissolved in water and "widely dispersed in the oceans." >> the statements that you have just made are untrue. >> wait. i was quoting you. >> what youve done is take tiny excerpts from a vast amount of writing ive done on this scientific subject. >> did you write this? im quoting from your newsletter. theres no ellipses here. "all we need to do with nuclear waste ...

There and a water gauge. water is key, you want the fuel to be covered with water so that the fuel can be kept cool and also to shield its radiation. when these workers went into the reactor, they were expecting the level of water in there to be at about 33 feet. what they found was that it was at 2 feet. thats very, very bad. and that is both a symptom that something is very wrong, i guess it was hot enough to be evaporating the water out of there, or the water is leaking, its a symptom of some...

You talk about not wanting to change your life upsidedown. im not giving up my cell phone. i have three of them. >> you cant. >> youre not either. even on the manufacturing insert that comes with it, it says you should hold your phone an inch away from your ear. who does that? >> everybodys going to hear my conversation. >> right. no one does it. everyone puts it against their head. even the cell phone instructions say you shouldnt do that. the further you move it away, it drops off radiation le...

necessarily pointed to something specific. what they found was, last year, they got some intelligence that al qaeda was targeting these oil and natural gas installations in the united states. what theyre saying is, some of the information that they just got shows that al qaeda still has a continuing interest right now in going after some of those targets. >> where is this intel coming from? >> its coming from that treasure trove of information that those s.e.a.l. teams hauled out of os...

Building is over 100 degrees but the radiation level there has dropped. buildings housing reactors one and three were seriously damaged by explosions, radiation levels in those buildings are still very high. right now we want to give you a look inside the so-called hot zone where residents have been evacuated. stan, how exactly were you able to get in and how close were you able to get to the plant? >> reporter: yeah, soledad. im surprised we were able to get inside this zone. from where im stan...

Company, tepco, which prapts the plant, or whats left of it said there were no serious incidents as a result of todays aftershock, so they say. radioactivity from that plant has poisoned the surrounding land, air and ocean. millions of people have been exposed, million morse could be, as radioactivity has been picked up in food and drinking water and detected in faraway places, like california. this had week, workers plugged a crack in the plant that had been gushing contaminated water into the ...

Reporting that the warnings are part of a confidential assessment report prepared by the u.s. regulatory commission. tokyo power company officials this morning are reporting good news as these before and after pictures show, water is no longer gushing into the pacific from the number two reactor building. contaminated fish have a lot of people worried around the world. zain verjee is live in london. what are the global papers saying about that? >> reporter: carol, i was just flipping through t...

That we have not been reporting fully that was pointed out by the minister of agriculture as well as people from our neighboring countries. as we have been reporting, the release of the radioactive water was to deal with the highly radioactive water in the turbine building of reactor number two and other buildings. >> lets take a look at what the newspapers are saying about japans radioactive worries. take a look at the china daily. it says radioactive water to pose little danger to china. quoti...

Plant continue to say the radiation being released does not pose health risks. >> looking at radiation level, they think this has impact on human health. >> there are no evacuation drills and this is necessary. he says that the electric power company never told us about any risky or dangerous situation. >> no safe level of radiation for any amount you get means increased cancer down the road. >> japans prime minister spoke about the unfolding disaster. >> 65 years after the end of world war ii, ...
