A glimpse of what they think control might mean the building containing its nuclear reactors continues to emit radiation the whole way is take us into another building away from the reactor in a labyrinth of car doors once flooded by the tsunami we have to change our shoes several times as a precaution against radioactive dust we get to the control room of reactor three and four eight years ago this is where stuff desperately trying to prevent the meltdown of the reactor core. which you think right that people have nothing to try to focus in on what they can do for steve. fossett. two weeks ag...

Away from the reactor in a labyrinth of car doors once flooded by the tsunami we have to change our shoes several times as a precaution against radioactive dust we get to the control room of reactors three and four eight years ago this is where stuff desperately trying to prevent the meltdown of the reactor core. which i think that. two weeks ago a tepco robot for the first time reached the materials which were produced in the in a court during the meltdown. no one knows exactly where all of the estimated eight hundred eighty tons of this material. at chernobyl the material was incased in conc...

It has been completely cut off. >> when they say that that should be rebuilt and reconfigured so that it doesn't produce large amounts of weapons grade plutonium you're saying that you can't necessarily make it stop producing plutonium as long as it exists they just have to make it produce that less efficiently and take it away once its made. >> exactly. every reactor core produces some plutonium in the fuel rods. they would have been creating enough for two bombs a year. less than one kilogram not if you have for a nuclear bomb. >> in terms of the objections raised by the israelis, one of the...

Reactor is going to be reduced to a reactor that can't produce a significant amount of plutonium should be satisfactory to the israelis because it's clear that the current reactor core is going to be destroyed or removed from the country. and that's a pretty substantial modification. so that it seems to me should make the israelis happy. the way that fordau will be converted to a facility not including any enrichment at least for 15 years, that should make the israelis somewhat happy but overall, i expect that prime minister netanyahu will reject this agreement and will try his very best to wo...

Programs of previous nuclear disasters like this one at three mile island or confront students with entirely new situations. and while that builds confidence on a nuclear level, there are steps being taken to improve safety on the technical side too. the french nuclear constructor is now desighing reactors with double shells and a catch pacen under the reactor core to consolidate fuel rods, basically planning for the worst because a core meltdown is no longer thinkable. >> by doing it to the maximum, it will cool down and get out of the primary vessel. if that were to happen, then we have a nu...
