Art robinson. or as we like to think of him around here, our own art robinson. >> you have advocated that radioactive waste should be dissolved in water and "widely dispersed in the oceans." >> the statements that you have just made are untrue. >> wait. i was quoting you. >> what you've done is take tiny excerpts from a vast amount of writing i've done on this scientific subject. >> did you write this? i'm quoting from your newsletter. there's no ellipses here. "all we need to do with nuclear waste is dilute it to a low radiation level and sprinkle it over the ocean or even over america." >> i...

There and a water gauge. water is key, you want the fuel to be covered with water so that the fuel can be kept cool and also to shield its radiation. when these workers went into the reactor, they were expecting the level of water in there to be at about 33 feet. what they found was that it was at 2 feet. that's very, very bad. and that is both a symptom that something is very wrong, i guess it was hot enough to be evaporating the water out of there, or the water is leaking, it's a symptom of something going wrong there, and it is a cause of yet more going wrong there. with that small amount o...

You talk about not wanting to change your life upsidedown. i'm not giving up my cell phone. i have three of them. >> you can't. >> you're not either. even on the manufacturing insert that comes with it, it says you should hold your phone an inch away from your ear. who does that? >> everybody's going to hear my conversation. >> right. no one does it. everyone puts it against their head. even the cell phone instructions say you shouldn't do that. the further you move it away, it drops off radiation level exponentially. i hold it then i'll use my ear piece. i also, you know, check my e-mails at ...

necessarily pointed to something specific. what they found was, last year, they got some intelligence that al qaeda was targeting these oil and natural gas installations in the united states. what they're saying is, some of the information that they just got shows that al qaeda still has a continuing interest right now in going after some of those targets. >> where is this intel coming from? >> it's coming from that treasure trove of information that those s.e.a.l. teams hauled out of osama bin laden's compound. we don't know if it specifically came from osama bin laden's journal, bu...

Deal! my money. my choice. my meineke. in japan, the death toll from the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami has topped 14,000. more than 13,000 people are still missing more than a month after the disaster. at the crippled fukushima daiichi nuclear complex, we're finally getting a look at the conditions inside the reactor building. tokyo electric power, which owns the facility, sends robots armed with lights and cameras. the robots were capable of opening doors and the company says the temperature in the building is over 100 degrees but the radiation level there has dropped. buildings housi...
