irreversible way. you have to plug it up with concrete and it's often mixed with a compound of boron. it soaks up newt rons. this is what they did at chernobyl with helicopters. >> are you pairing this to chernobyl? >> well, i am, yeah. everybody remember that at chernobyl there's an area, if you ink of an oval, about 100 miles long and 50 miles wide that you can't live in because this contamination got all over the place, this radioactive material. so as soon as you get leaks like this, and guys come out of there withat apparently radiation sickness, something has cracked open and something i is creleaking. everybody knows this, and i understand how much we all need energy, but this stuff is fantastilly dangerous. >> i asked bill whether that

michio kaku joined us last hour to talk about how to handle this nuclear situation, and one of the things he has said repeatedly is you can drop a whole bunch of material on top of the nuclear plant and create a tomb, best way to describe it, right, jon? jon: helicopter drop. yeah, you do it with, you know, sandbags and maybe some boron and concrete. jenna: and just make it all suffocate in not so many words. that's probably not the words he would use, but basically bury it so it's no longer a threat. he told us this took place in chernobyl over a time period of about ten days and that the entire entombment process took about seven months. what he told us, though, is that certain vehicles whether it's helicopters or different trucks used to do this are in a graveyard in the ukraine, and what we're showing you are the pictures of that. we were able to find some. and what you're looking at are all these vehicles used to do this process. they're still radioactive, we understand it, that's what he

huge mound over this thing of sand, concrete, boron, why boron? >> it absorbs. you saw the hookt -- it's like a squirt gun. i'm saying call out the japanese air force. >> you know, anything that can throw dirt and this concrete -- basically creating a tomb around it? >> that's right. it's called enum tometombment. the last and final ace in the hole. it would take a few days to assemble it. we have to have the option. some people say it's too extreme. i'm saying it's an option. we have to exercise the option now. >> why would it be too extreme? i know you want to argue their side. why would it be too extreme? >> because they don't want to acknowledge how bad the situation is. the leadership there is disconnected from realty. they're not physicists. they're not engineers. they think it's just going to go away. they live in a fantasy, parallel univer universe. >> it sounds simple and obvious, i'm astonished nobody's thought of it. this is why you're the brilliant

that recriticality occurs is if you lose all the boron and have the bare fuel sitting in water. it's pretty unlikely, but that answers -- that's at least one scenario. >> one of the reasons why we're hearing reports of why they are bringing in tons and tons and tons of boron. >> we'll do boron another day. you've been amazing, thank you so much for explaining this all to us, i think we're all fascinated in wishing them the best. now, let's go back to libya. let's listen to this. >> we need to call this what it is and we're going to war against libya. >> a no-fly zone changes the entire game in libya. foreign militaries, they are watching and waiting to see what moammar gadhafi could possibly do next but if the regime breaks the cease-fire, does one country strike? >> we're going to break down that possibility? also developing right now east of libya, have you a state of emergency declared in yemen. blood is spilling, tens of thousands filling the streets in protesting their government. we're back in 70 seconds with

an elevation. >> okay. now to the fourth and final question here. re criticality, something i've read up. explain as best as you can. what does that mean? >> sure, recriticality is the resumption or startup of the fission chain reaction process, and there's concern that ear in the reactor and spent fuel pools, even though the reaction should be shut down, it can become recritical again and that means the fission process occurs, release of neutron and energy. in the spent fuel pools that's prevented by the racks that the fuel fits into. it's full of boron which absorbs the neutrons and prevents that from occurring. >> boron is the good stuff. >> and the water should be borated, that also helps. >> okay. >> in it runs dry, that's not going to be a recriticality because you need water for criticality, so it's really unlikely that could occur. the only way we can postulate

the other is the imagery today, flying over the site. they really have been sort of blind as to exactly what's been happening inside all these reactors. remember it. it's not just one reactor. we're talking about six nuclear reactors here. all of them had various problems and various stages. they flew over wit a helicopter and began to look down. they could see, yes, it was as serious as perhaps had been feared, partial koerp exposure, problems with water levels and you certainly have significant areas of damage and possible exposure of the cores to the atmosphere. that's why they raised it today, ali. >> martin, the understanding is by using the sea water to keep these reactors cool, it's going to damage these reactors beyond repair. do we have some sense of what the long-term plan is for those reactors, is there some thought they'll rebuild them? is that plant done? >> reporter: they're done. they're toast, essentially. the fact that once you introduce sea water and introducsome of the other things like boron they've been using, that means they're pretty much over with

help stop the meltdown? >>guest: it is necessary. when they spray the water into the spent fuel pump it has boron and whatever they do, there is risk in some cases this could be a chain reaction starting again and you have a nuclear reaction going on, a nuclear reaction that happened in the spent fuel pond and the radioactivity would go into the air with no containment and the containment in the reactors could be breached so you want to avoid that. so boron is important. the countries stepped in to provide this. south korea agreed on monday it would provide boron to japan which was running low. greg greg so if the rods resolidify they could reignite because you have fission resuming if the rods melt and

that leaves these fuel rods damaged and enormously vulnerable to releasing a lot of radiation. that's why putting dirt in there or sand with boron and lead to shield it from radiation is a possible option. it's not clear whether they are going to do that yet. it would eliminate that part of the problem. if the circulation worked it would get rid of the other part of the problem. it's an ongoing battle here that just shows no signs of letting up and gets worse every day. good thing is so far it releases radiation have been just at the site in the quantities that are dangerous. those hot spots showing up all over japan and the plume with tiny amounts of radiation spreading around the world that. doesn't pose any health threat. the big problem is getting that plant under control, and there is no sign of this happening any time soon. >> i know how experienced you are in these things, but take good care, bob. it's good to see you. thanks so much for your continuing reporting.
