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...

That recriticality occurs is if you lose all the boron and have the bare fuel sitting in water. it's pretty unlikely, but that answers -- that's at least one scenario. >> one of the reasons why we're hearing reports of why they are bringing in tons and tons and tons of boron. >> we'll do boron another day. you've been amazing, thank you so much for explaining this all to us, i think we're all fascinated in wishing them the best. now, let's go back to libya. let's listen to this. >> we need to call this what it is and we're going to war against libya. >> a no-fly zone changes the entire game in...

An elevation. >> okay. now to the fourth and final question here. re criticality, something i've read up. explain as best as you can. what does that mean? >> sure, recriticality is the resumption or startup of the fission chain reaction process, and there's concern that ear in the reactor and spent fuel pools, even though the reaction should be shut down, it can become recritical again and that means the fission process occurs, release of neutron and energy. in the spent fuel pools that's prevented by the racks that the fuel fits into. it's full of boron which absorbs the neutrons and prevents...
