Greater than we want it to be in order to operate -- [ talking over each other ] we have a containment structure that is not likely to release the radiation. if it did, most of the radioactive particles have a short half life. chernobyl was a number 7. it had no containment bidding. it totally exploded. there was a -- cloud of radiation they said was going to kill tens of thousands of people and deform children. 10 years after the accident the u.n. produced a 1200 page report pointing out there ...

In order to operate -- [ talking over each other ] we have a containment structure that is not likely to release the radiation. if it did, most of the radioactive particles have a short half life. chernobyl was a number 7. it had no containment bidding. it totally exploded. there was a -- cloud of radiation they said was going to kill tens of thousands of people and deform children. 10 years after the accident the u.n. produced a 1200 page report pointing out there was no long term impact on hea...

Now, outside the reactor and steam released, there is radioactive materials, but less harmful. the government has stressed, though, the radiation levels have been steadily coming down in recent days. but when you have ongoing crisis like this, when you have more steam being released into the atmosphere, then those radiation levels will have to be tested again and possibly we could see a spike in them. >> stan grant, thank you so much. american troops off of japans shore have been exposed to ra...

Jenna: right now new fears over the health safety of u.s. troops and also the japanese people, anyone in what is happening in japan right now. the u.s. s. ronald reagan may have passed through a radioactive cloud while doing relief work off the coast. 17 helicopter crew members treated for radiation exposure during one mission. what health issues are facing our troops as well as the japanese. dr. cromwell is joining us now. we are talking about radiation affects or poisoning. what would that fee...

Radioactive gases was released. that followed another explosion at another plant on saturday. this of course is a real concern for the people that were with here and talking to but a concern for americans too. 17 u.s. marines who were in choppers running relief missions from the uss ronald reagan aircraft carrier, didnt pass right over the reactor but near enough through a radioactive cloud they were in fact contaminated to some degree. they had to be washed down. they are not ill but it is caus...

Says the radiation levels there are still within legal limits. the damage is massive, the latest estimates putting the death toll at 10,000. there are still 15,000 japanese citizens that are missing. the latest explosion is prompting the government to ask residents near the affected areas to stay inside. rescue crews are working tirelessly to get food and water to millions who have been going without any vital resources for days. and were still not getting reports on current radiation levels. ...

Through a radioactive cloud and was coated with particulate radiation. explain to us what those type of effects can possibly be for the people that were exposed. >> i think its a perfect example -- its not your fault at all, of course -- the hysteria of the radiation. the navy explained that the "uss ronald reagan" and a helicopter were exposed to enough radiation in a dhai we all get exposed to in a month. far less radiation you get from a chest x-ray, about one-thousandth of that. even less ra...

The plant, it is reportedly now losing coolant. bringing fresh concerns over its stability. meantime, "the new york times" is reporting that the u.s. pentagon is reporting that the "uss ronald reagan" traveled through a radioactive cloud and crew on deck are believed to have received a months worth of radiation in an hour. meanwhile, experts are weighing in on the potential impact at home if a disaster as devastating as the one that hit japan were to hit quake-prone areas here. for that we go ...

Is going to be getting all day long. temperatures in this region are flirting with the freezing mark now, but warming up throughout date and getting into the low 40s, now late monday and into tuesday, we think there is going to be some rain coming in with the storm system so that kind of makes it feel a little bit colder and kind of holds the weather conditions in place. in fact quo, see a little bit of snow possibly mixing in on tuesday morning but no real accumulations are going to be expected...

Explosive . that resulted in the explosion. >> harris: the hinden burg. that is a good example of what that substance can do. 12 mile evacuation zone. what does that tell you? >> we are concerned that that is in fact undersized if this reactor blows up. we are concerned about the affect of once it that containment is lost and the structure that surrounds all of that nuclear fuel as it melts down. it would spread tremendous amounts of radio activity and it will be born on the weather and however ...
