Good, but there are more important things. >> bret: he could have vetoed. >> michael: he had a song and dance about how he wasnt sure if he was going to, which i wasnt completely understanding. >> charles: its amazing when we all talk about how divided america is. one of the things that everyone in washington in particular agrees upon is that china is a real threat and china is a real problem, whether its dealing with hong kong or dealing with trade issues. to see that sort of unity directed tow...

That structure had completely surrounded the other containment structure, like containment within containment. the inner is primary containment, four to five feet thick concrete with inner steel liner two inches thick of steel to ride integrity against release of radioactivity. >> it is that primary containment vessel you are worried may have been compromised by the recent blast? >> initial reports hopefully turn out not to be true. initial reports are part of the containment called the pressure...

>> simple, good quality medical care. >> good quality health care. >> to the extent people may be suffering from those things, it will be a small and defined population that offers them hope, even people in the worst case scenarios. >> unless you get a super high lethal dose, most of these people will survive, even though they have high radiation exposures. >> to be clear if this is freaking you out at home, you should know u.s. officials say they dont expect any of the radiation leaks so far wi...

You can really bring back an awful lot of people that would otherwise die with just fairly simple procedures. >> simple, good quality medical care. >> good caught healthcare. >> to the extent people may be suffering from those things, it will be a small and defined population that offers them hope, even people in the worst case scenarios. >> unless you get a super high lethal dose, most of these people will survive, even though they have high radiation exposures. >> to be clear if this is freaki...

To ride integrity against release of radioactivity. >> it is that primary containment vessel you are worried may have been compromised by the recent blast? >> initial reports hopefully turn out not to be true. initial reports are part of the containment called the pressure suppression pool or the toris, the round metal donut looking thing has been compromised. we dont know whether it was by the third blast the facility experienced or some other mechanism. pressure is reported to be dropping from...

At three mile island it was also human error that ended up being a significant part of the cause there. that does not seem to be the case in japan. as you point out, these are well built facilities that are as well run as anywhere else in the world. i worry that our comfort with nuclear power is based not on a lack of organization or a lack of being -- a a lack of our ability to believe we could be bad at our jobs but lack of imagination about how bad things are that the earth could throw at us....

Case scenarios. >> unless you get a super high lethal dose, most of these people will survive, even though they have high radiation exposures. >> to be clear if this is freaking you out at home, you should know u.s. officials say they dont expect any of the radiation leaks so far will affect any part of the united states and whats been released so far is blowing out to sea and is becoming dilute. thats the best news as we watch this unfold. david, thanks for coming in and helping. >> my pleasure...

Happened at chernobyl is complicated, but for me reading about it as i understand it it seems like a poorly designed experiment and three-mile island was a significant part of the cause. these are well built and well run as much as anywhere else in the world. i worry that our comfort with nuclear power is based not on a lack of organization or lack of our ability to believe that we can be out of our jobs, but a lack of imagination of how bad things are that the earth can throw at us. are we basi...

Previous disasters, what happened at chernobyl is complicated but for me as a lay audience reading about it as far as i understand it, it seems like a poorly designed experiment that went bad. at three mile island it was also human error that ended up being a significant part of the cause there. that does not seem to be the case in japan. as you point out, these are well built facilities that are as well run as anywhere else in the world. i worry that our comfort with nuclear power is based not ...
