Facilities, so even after the blasts they kept up the effort to cool those facilities down to prevent further damage to the fuel rods, any further meltdown. with the type of damage that you are worried about that you're saying this lack of pressure might indicate, does that mean they will not be able to continue to cool this down? that they will not be able to essentially keep working on it to make it more safe? >> that's a good point, because if the containment is breached the way it has been suggested, not only can radioactivity escape through the pathway, but the sea water, the water being ...

Facilities and that was reflecting damage to the fuel rods, there had not been any full meltdown of those facilities, so even after the blasts they kept up the effort to cool those facilities down to prevent further damage to the fuel rods, any further meltdown. with the type of damage that you are worried about that you're saying this lack of pressure might indicate, does that mean they will not be able to continue to cool this down? that they will not be able to essentially keep working on it to make it more safe? >> that's a good point, because if the containment is breached the way it has ...

Radioactivity is dramatically increasing in the plant. is the only option to open it up, let the radioactivity escape into the air in order to avoid a complete melt down of that plant or explosion within that plant? >> well, the point of venting the gas that's accumulating is to prevent a catastrophic rupture of the containment. if you vent the gas through filters, then there's a possibility of eliminating radioactive to the environment. if you accumulate to a high pressure, you can get a rupture, and if there were a melt, there would be a release to the environment. whether or not the fuel me...
