TIPS OF THE WEEK Your car’s radiator and cooling system need to be clean to work efficiently and effectively. With normal wear and tear, your car’s radiator builds up deposits that can disrupt the cooling system. A radiator flush is a quick and inexpensive way to keep your system in shape. You should have your car’s coolant system and radiator inspected at least every 12 months. It’s a good idea to inspect the system every 12,000 miles,/ 19312.128 kilometres, especially if you travel a great deal. Antifreeze (coolant) helps to protect your engine from overheating or freezing. However,...

>> reporter: that could be a game changer. the problem began with a power failure, it shut down the cooling system. they had auxiliary power and that didn't work either. it was a failure and then another failure. and then they've ended up with this problem that has been compounded by all those other issues that we just discussed a moment ago. so yeah, being able to get power there, being able to get the coolant system working again and trying to stabilize these reactors would be a huge step forward. and you know, they are throwing everything at it. but as i say, every time they think they may ...

It didn't happen in the reactor, it happened in the outer wall. the reactor remains in place. pretty much the same as the explosion as the other day. as a result of that sploeg, yet another reactor was affected and its coolant system was shut off. what they're trying to do is put salt water into these reactors to try to cool them down. you talk about the radiation there and they have admitted that some radiation has escaped into the atmosphere in recent days. but officials here also say that has been coming down. at the same time, the uss ronald reagan carrier group have had to divert their co...
