their statement is far as they can tell things are relatively okay. that is cool comfort when you're dealing with a person and a president like vladimir putin who it feels like to the world he's walking into the world, holding a grenade, holding the pen and threatening basically to pull it. so it really begs the question you're talking to benjamin about, what will it take? or is this something that would threaten especially the eu in terms of proximity, to become even more involved, even more aggressive. there is nothing good about any of this is scary all the way around. dagen: wright, sean, six of the nine reactors that make up these are currently in operation. i think back to japan and what caused the core meltdown and that nuclear disaster was the flooding that cut off the generators. and you needed the generators to the power was cut off you needed the generators to keep operating
may think the reactor is of greatest | may think the reactor is of greatest concern, but there's a lot of radioactivity in there, and if the power or the water supply would destructed for more than a minute, a core meltdown could occur. but it's actually probably the non—hardened infrastructure, the power and water supply, infrastructure, the power and water supply, and this large swimming pool that contains the fuel that needs constant active cooling. those contains much of the activity on site and are very vulnerable to disruptions of the cooling, and that could happen via a direct military attack, but it could also have been through the power and the water supply being cut off. so, these facilities are really extremely vulnerable. they're not designed to be operated in combat design. professor tilman ruff, thank you so much forjoining us on newsday. thank you. in other news, injapan,
that hearing yesterday was laying the ground work for trump firing mueller. why did 20 or 15 republican congressmen give coordinated statements. they were reading the statements. that was not random comments. they got together. they had guidance to attack the mueller investigation. >> they should understand. they do not understand. i think the president's own lawyers even understand don't mess with bob mueller. >> the republicans on the hill could defend him. >> republicans on the hill don't understand this is the meltdown. this is the core meltdown. they just can't go there. by the way, breaking news, walt disney company is buying most of the 21st century box, a $52.4 billion deal. i don't think it's fox news. i don't think it's the tv networks but the entertainment side of it. pretty significant. including "the simpsons".
and now, to michael, the foam director of homeland security for the state of new york, and right now managing partner of blue water international a global security firm. this was a time not that long ago where everybody was afraid of nuclear power and japan came long and in the united states we have needs. where are we? >>guest: as you know, 30 years we have not had any new licenses and obviously it was a defining moment, that, yes, the unthinkable can happen, and the plant in why.right now is a new design and a passive system so what went wrong in japan they are saying cannot go wrong here because you did not rely on a generator kicking in but the natural forces will shut it down. it is all about the core meltdown. that is why you have containment domes. you look at the history of nuclear power it has been relatively safe compared to other types of energy.
programs of previous nuclear disasters like this one at three mile island or confront students with entirely new situations. and while that builds confidence on a nuclear level, there are steps being taken to improve safety on the technical side too. the french nuclear constructor is now desighing reactors with double shells and a catch pacen under the reactor core to consolidate fuel rods, basically planning for the worst because a core meltdown is no longer thinkable. >> by doing it to the maximum, it will cool down and get out of the primary vessel. if that were to happen, then we have a number of systems which are waiting for it some how. >> reporter: the power plant designer says the safety features included the new nuclear plant add about 25% to
it was a nightmare scenario when it happened. it is still a nightmare scenario today. a nuclear plant getting into trouble because of an equipment accident inside the nuclear plant. the radioactive fuel rods began heating up at a dangerous rate. there was a partial nuclear reactor core meltdown, which caused the immediate shutdown of that nuclear power plant. was that three mile island? no, it was on the shores of lake erie. it went through a partial core meltdown. how about this one, a u.s. nuclear power plant in pennsylvania, just outside harrisburg. forced to shut down after one of its reactors suffered two different malfunctions in the span of nine days, forcing a leak of radiation into the air. was that three mile island? no. that was peach bottom nuclear station. how about on the eastern seaboard suffering a catastrophic failure of its emergency shutdown system. the system in place to prevent a

megyn: it's interesting. if you look at her map, this is sort of the hotpots in terms of earthquakes in this country. look at this. you can see she is right. over on the west coast, not quite as bad in terms of our exposure. if you look in the middle it's a different story. thankfully that's land locked. that's not an area of the country at risk for tsunami. and that according to the experts alicia was citing is where things start to get dangerous. thanks again. it's 32 years to the day since the commercial nuclear power plant disaster in u.s. history. today folks gathering to remember the 3-mile island disaster offered their prayers for those in japan. equipment failure and operator errors combined to cause a partial core meltdown near harrisburg, pennsylvania.
