Into the sky on to the facility. sounds happen hazard but it is keeping radio as activity levels at a steady level. keeping heat at a steady level but there has got to be something done. there has been an electrical line hooked up first to the! tearor of the complex and then into the maze of buildings that compose the entire area. one and then a second reactor will be hooked up with electricity. the big question is whether the coolant pumps which have been rattled by first the tsunami of course, and then by hydrogen blasts and fires whether they can actually work. the answer is maybe, maybe no...

Situation? >> let's remember the chernobyl accident in 1986 required 600,000 conscripted workers to go in for the cleanup operation. this is a tremendous undertaking, and what we are looking at at fukushima daiichi is bigger. unprecedented. it is really going to be touch and go, and i don't know that -- when you have the fires of hell in front of you, what do you do? martha: good question, sir. and that seems to be what they are dealing with. in japan. four reactors, all in potential meltdown in the next 24 hours according to the scientists who have been talking about this, paul gunter, thank ...

Serious and trivial, unimportant health consequence. >> reporter: to give you an idea of what can happen, this is an image of the nuclear cloud, after chernobyl. the fallout stretched across europe and most of russia and, experts say japan is very different, for two reasons, unlike chernobyl the release at fukushima was not high in the atmosphere, a big difference and, number 2, the amount of radiation released is much less. >> by the time it gets here, though, whatever radioactivity was emitted into the air will be dispersed and diluted over the six days and over 5,000 miles it took to get he...

Of supply and the cold is severely affecting them. it has been very cold the last few days with snow here and there are people without adequate food, heating and water. rick: thanks very much, gavin. martha, over to you. martha: they have been trying to get the electricity flowing to get water back to those reactors. the chernobyl solution may be a last ditch effort to prevent a full scale meltdown that's possible in all four of these reactors. back in 1986 in the chernobyl situation the workers buried that reactor in tons of sand. they threw together a concrete mixture. it ended up crack and ...
