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 ...

One of the guests described it as sort of a russian doll type system. 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 esse...

And the other thing is that in fact it is more than a crack in the roof of this facility. they are big holes in the walls, have been blown by that hydrogen explosion. >> does that mean with a crack to the roof but also big damage to the walls, does that mean any radiation being emitted from the damaged spent fuel rods is already just being emitted openly to the air? >> pretty much. some of it might play out on the wall to cool, and some of it might be plating out on the walls, but there are big holes that a large fraction of it could escape from. >> can the spent fuel rods at number 4 be made ...

Radiation. at what level we'll find out. a u.s. helicopter picked up radiation in the atmosphere which has many people worried. they go on to say with these reactors unit number three destroys the outer building after two explosions the containment wall held. >> keep in mind the worst nuclear catastrophic was chernobyl . they didn't have containment buildings. they were doing a test in chernobyl and a power surge and explosion and we use water. they use graphite on fire and going everywhere and that is what caused the atomic fall out. >> tokyo power plant said we have rolling blackouts. but th...

Thing that they are showing. that is outer containment wall that is supposed to be the last line of defense. in new york so you know i have that mick minus problem going again. if that has, in fact, exploded, that would be a worse case scenario as you heard of the commentator saying there. sigh runs are going off in what is the center of tokyo. those sirens are indication of early warning sign of a trembler here. it's our belief that these sirens are part of the early warning system for an earthquake happening here. they have been going off for the better part of the last minute and a half. we...
