But moving it around that's got a whole series of problems and issues in and of itself. but this does give russia significant control of any narrative about radioactivity. it's released or spread in ukraine and it definitely is part of the siege plan that they have got where they cut off the power in the water to these cities. >> okay, all right. brant sadler with the heritage foundation, great to have you here. back to trace, jonathan. thank you . as the number of ukrainian refugees climbs to more than two million, biden's climate czar john kerry says the climate crisis will be so much worse....

Operational. so the decay heat, the radioactivity that's generating some still frozen and the heat that's actually so small now that these rods, about 18 of them can sit inside what's called a wet pool or wet storage and that's enough to dissipate the heat from this latent radioactivity. now there's about another 12 these rods that are in what's called dry storage and that radioactivity is to a degree that it doesn't need to be held in in a liquid kind of shielding or heat dissipation. that being said, the water level still needs to be maintained and there still is the need to recycle the wate...

Bleeding, which is still going to create more waste. >> and so help us understand. i want to ask you a seafood safety question in a minute. looking at another images and the level of destruction. if one was where we started on the earthquake and tsunami day and ten is relative containment to the point everybody can take a breath and go from the emergency containment challenge to the long-term challenge, where are we? >> i guess we're -- one was bad, ten was good? >> yes. >> i'd say we're between a three and a four. the worst is behind us because the reactor cores are down now to where they're ...

>> well, there's two things. they have power back and that's the first step and that will help. obviously they'll have setbacks as motors catch fire and fuses blow and things like that, but getting power back is good. the other thing is that the nuclear chain reaction, after the nuclear chain reaction ends, about 5% of the heat remains but two weeks out, that's about down to about 3%, so they have a little bit less decay heat that they have to fight which makes the effort a little easier. >> arnie gun dgundersen, we hop progress. an explosion in israel leaves one woman dead and 50 wounded. i...

Of the buildings and the spent fuel pools. and it's important distinction between the two. they are housed in the same building but they are two separate entities and they bring their own issues with them. >> is there any way to tell when this crisis might be over? >> well, things are looking better with the reactors. it appears that the sea water injection is working in terms of cooling those reactors so they are stabilizing. the decay heat produced drops each day from the day before so in that regard it's less of a problem from the previous day. the attention is the spent fuel pools which ha...
