Then it's a complete disaster for them. that guy gets fired and disappeared. they replace him with a new guy who says, yeah, we think it will be relatively easy. >> and they have a containment system so in cases of blowout -- by the way, 57% chance they admit that if they continue -- 75% chance that there will be a blowout. so they tested their capping stack in 2012, it cam out looking like a crumpled can. they tested it again, refused to release the results. >> given complaints like that, was it a surprise that the obama administration said go ahead? they've been expressing concerns about cli...

After last year's bp disaster, environmental groups say offshore drilling worth the risk. >> they are asking us to take a leap of faith that over the past year we've caught up with decades of drilling technology. where we didn't invest in containment, in response, we didn't invest in cleanup. >> before it could get a permit to drill this new well shell had to satisfy the government that if an accident were to occur it wouldn't take three months to shut off the flow of oil and gas as it did after the bp disaster. >> the containment system has the capacity to handle 60,000 barrels of fluid per d...

The san andres fault is safe, i think that should raise questions right there. when we're told that production margins are not the priority, we should look at the nuclear power station just outside of toledo, ohio. both the nuclear regulatory commission and first energy nuclear basically allowed corrosion through boric acid leaking out of that reactor for years to eat through 6 3/4 inches of steal down to 3/16 of an inch of a terrible accident that would have blown the reactor out into the containment and challenged that containment system and, you though, they had rust, pictures of rust flowi...

One of the large pipes in the reactor primary system, and the release, subsequent release of steam and fission products and -- into the containment structure itself. it was -- it had not been considered that this event would cause dynamic loads, say heavy vibrations in the reactor suppression pool that could cause the containment system to fail. >> okay. we'll keep bringing you back to plain english. what you're worried about is this thing is going to lose coolant? like if your car engine loses its coolant you know the engine block will seize up and you're out of luck. the reactors will overhe...

A containment vessel inside a containment vessel. the spent fuel poles can be just as radioactive, can often have more fuel rods in them, but they're not necessarily kept in that russian doll style multiple containment system. they don't want to move the fuel rods far from the reactors that they come out of. they are, of course, super hot and radioactive. you don't want to trek them across the country. in the reactors in trouble in japan, where do they move the fuel rods do? they move them to here, just up top. they are essentially just protected by the one external containment wall. and that ...
