Reactor Itself News Today

Of all of these different systems together, it becomes much more like it does in peacetime, you can easily imagine fire starting a war, which is what may happen at zaporizhzhia and you can imagine that fire knocking out certain situations, and fire crews could try to put out the fire, but when that happened a few months ago, we saw those firefighters were literally shot at, they couldnt get to the plant for a while. now, fortunately the fire a month or so ago was not in the actual reactor itself...

News that we found is the fire was about 1200 feet away from the reactor itself, saved an enormous disaster of immense proportions here. just 24 hours ago. pop on over to the north, sean, i know you had a question a moment to go to jen about what is happening with this convoy. it is still pretty much stuck where it is, has been for the past several days, but the forces here are outlined in this red area here. and sean, i know our viewers, some of them have seen these pictures online, i know you ...

Caught fire. the reactor itself, theres six reactors there, but no reactor thats on fire so we should say that so its not at that level of seriousness yet but obviously the threat is significant. and theres mixed reports you mentioned about whether or not the fighting has stopped. certainly the iaea, u.n.s nuclear watchdog said theyre gravely concerned that this is taking place and called on all parties to stop the fighting. its the first time, they say, that this kind of fighting has taken plac...

Russian troops were firing at the plant from all sides. by this point, the international atomic energy agency said that staff inside the plant were trying to mitigate any potential risks. there were plenty. a fire broke out at some point after that, and the mayor said firefighters were unable to actually get to the site because of the fighting there, and he was warning about the potential for a nuclear accident. it turns out the fire itself was actually in an auxiliary building, separate from th...

Rather large amount of radio activity in the fuel being stored there. the other reactors, of course, both the spent fuel in the pools, and the reactor itself. and the concern i have particularly there is less a direct attack on the reactor itself, the reactor core. i would just observe at least in the united states the containment vessel for the core, the airplane crash, but that should not be very comforting because the plant depends on so many other systems not hardened on back-up generators, ...

Authorities in control of it and allowed them to go home but they are controlling the town they were going home to. we are watching the plant, something worries because in the course of this war russian forces have targeted not one but two nuclear facilities. in the case of the one at a chernobyl coming within 1500 feet of the reactor itself, could have been a different story. these are sketchy reports we are getting from this nuclear plant, right next door, russian forces have regained it and t...

This so-called nuclear powered cruise missile, designed to invade the u.s. >> its extremely difficult to know how large the actual amount of radiation release was. we dont know very much about the reactor itself, so we dont know how big it was. and the readings are kind of all over the place. >> news of the russian monitoring station, falling silent, was confirmed by the comprehensive test ban treaty organization. the suspicion by armed control experts is that russia wants to hide the data that ...

That water turned out to be 10,000 times the level that would normally be at that part of the plant. there shouldnt be water at that part of the plant anyway. now what officials are saying is the only way it could be that contaminated is if there was some kind of leak from the reactor itself, either a crack in the core perhaps or perhaps leaking from the pipes that go in and out of the reactor. they dont know exactly how much is leaking. they dont know how long its been leaking or exactly what c...

Allegedly as a last resort. why is this possible solution considered a last option in this case? >> well, this -- were not talking about nuclear reactors here. were talking about the spent fuel storage pools. >> okay. >> i dont think theyre considering the racketers to be covered but the spent pools, storage pools, this may be a last-ditch effort if they cannot maintain cooling of the pit. so they could fill it up with concrete, sand, bus but they have to be careful. you want to make sure that i...

Comes out from japan is limited. i have, you know, probably as much up to date information as probably as anybody, and i find myself without the appropriate amount of information. however, we can discern why this is happening and what we know is there are two problems in here. two completely different problems. one is the reactor itself, and the other is the fuel pools. two completely different problems. the reactor is like a pressure boiler, its a pressure cooker happen its really a very high p...
