And also there is some information that there was a maintenance going on at this reactor that involved the transfer of the fuel core to the reactor at the time when the earthquake happened that led to not as much water going into the -- into the basin and possibly a crack or compromise to the pool wall. >> right. and u.s. officials have now brought in planes, sanjay, in order to try to monitor radiation from the air to try to get independent readings so they're not so relying on japanese officials. there's a lot of concern in the united states about radiation reaching the west coast, people bu...
They'll be able to restore some off site power and be able to provide the necessary cooling for the most troubled reactors. the reactor -- the concern that i have that is the highest is the spent fuel pools in units three and four. and i think that the reason why the nuclear regulatory commission or the chairman of the nuclear regulatory commission has reason to believe that pool is leaking is -- there are a couple of reasons. one is i think that he probably was relying on thermal imaging from u.s. government satellites. and also there is some information that there was a maintenance going on ...
Which is a battery-powered mechanism that also failed. that means inside because there's not water pumping in one, two, three different ways into this fuel core, you have heat. and that heat is a serious problem as this begins to melt. as you begin to damage this core. engineers went to battery pumps. those worked for a while, they went dead. you saw the diesel pumps, they worked for a while and went dead. it's not exactly clear what happened. of but in the last-ditch effort, they're starting to pump sea water into this core, into this reactor. if these rods become exposed, the temperature ins...
>> what about the steam that comes from the reactors. how problemmatic is it -- >> some of the steam has already been released. one n one of the reactors, earlier the japanese released some of the pressure that included some radio active steam but not in any concentration to hurt anybody. what's important now is to contain the fuel core to keep it cool. i think they are cooling down now. and prevent it from melting down. once the core melts down, everybody is in trouble. >> in the past, has everything
