But tokyo electric is so incompetent. it's like homer simpson operating a nuclear power plant. it's bad. all things they have covered up and under played the severity of the accident and they dead agrees with american engineers that tried to be clear. >> dogs wandering from the street from the dead zone here. are they trying to cool the rods with heosdz? >> firemen with hoses. this is not a textbook. they are making it up as they go along. firemen are dousing the reactor keeping it cool six to nine months from now they hope to have automatic pumps to circulate the water so we can relieve these...

The foam, the brushes, there was music going. the idea here, though, is all about safety. >> what we're doing right now is just like they decontaminating the ship. >> reporter: this aircraft carrier and some of its helicopters passed through the nuclear plume, the daiichi plant. as a result of that, there was a relative amount of exposure. they clean it, scrub it down, use brushes, use foam. clear every possible surface then check it with special machines such as geiger counters, while keeping the crews in protective suits. >> so mark is gives us an example of how delicate all of this is. on t...

Has and you're wondering why are they all sitting around? we'll show you. look what's going on back over here, water, lots and lots of water just being sprayed all over the deck right now in what is likely the biggest cleanup effort you're ever likely to see at sea. as the crews went to work with the foam and the brushes, there was music but the idea here is safety. >> they contaminated the ship. >> these aircraft carrier and some helicopters travelled through the radioactive plume. there was some expose to the crew and the aircraft and possibly the ship. so this is all designed to clean it, s...

Remarkable effort? you may remember back on the 13th, this aircraft carrier and some of its helicopters passed through the radioactive plume from that damaged nuclear plant. as a result of that, there was some limited exposure to the crew and some of the aircraft. and possibly the ship. so this is all designed to clean it, scrub it down, use brushes, use foam, clear every possible surface, then check it with special machines such as geiger counters while keeping the crew in protective suits. it's extreme measures, but it's always designed to keep the crew safe and to keep the ship operational....
