And what do you see in this image? >> again, this is the top of the reactor here where the most damage has occurred. >> okay. there's what appears to be a hole in the side. this is the south-facing side of the reactor. >> i moved the whole thing. >> here we go. that's okay. actually -- >> i'll use my finger off. >> now you can draw. okay. >> there you go. >> you're welcome. >> that's the hole and that's on the same side as the steam was coming out in number three, so -- so it's a bit of conjecture. >> what do you mean by that, connect the dots. >> the dots may be that this is also spent fuel p...

P rotation and the water keeps flowing. then they do the next effort, which is hook up electricity and this is considered to be crucial. first trying to hook up generators. if they can get those working maybe they will try to get the main power lines back into the plant. all was destroyed as a result of the tsunami, get the main power on and then maybe you can get the main pump on, get the main pumps on and you can start to stabilize things but the problem is even if they get the electricity in, and that's a tough go, even if they do, they are not sure that the pumps survive the tsunami and th...

Can get that under control. the storey for reactors three and four in that nuclear waste and those spent fuel ponds, that's a heard challenge and one can see that going on and on and on. as long as they dump water in it, that buys them time. but sanjay, tomorrow, and god knows i hope this isn't the case, but you could be working your heart out, you're under all this stress, think you're making some progress. and if tomorrow there's a hydrogen explosion or spike in radiation or a friend of yours dies, i assume that can -- you're back right where you started. so i think every day is going to be ...

Nuclear reactor not to cause massive panic. >> right, but we don't know what that is. >> okay. let's look here and pull up react actor number three and specifically the focus of the japanese focus here and we saw smoke and some steam. what does this picture tell you right here? >> this was number three damage the by a hydrogen explosion on monday, i believe, and there is steam coming out on the side, on this side, and that's likely from the spent fuel pool. >> okay. >> and if anything, that's probably of a bit of a positive sign because if there's steam it means there's water and so there's so...

The workers to focus on the core problems and let the others just simply be managed, that would be welcome news and a victory. of course, we could wake up and there could be another hydrogen explosion, so on and so forth. so i'm not saying we're out of the woods. but each day that passes that we don't have a new dramatic development that is worse, buys time, allows the reactor units to get a little cooler and allows the team on the ground, which must be dog tired, to come up with a plan to deal with that nuclear waste and the spent fuel rods in reactors three and four. >> yeah, michael freelan...
