That have piping and electric wiring and that kind of thing. these are the tunnels we are speak about. these are filled with water. they have been dumping water in to cool out the reactor core and then you have the radioactive water already in there. some of that water, you know, if they can't transport is out of there, they have a hard time doing that. some of that assumingly has been drifting and pooling in these tunnels. like all substructure type of tunnels they need some sort of draining in the event water gets in there and some of those drainch tube you would assume gets out into the oce...

Plant. >> this is one of the most deadliest substances known to human kind. a speck will give you cancer, several specks can kill you. there is no safe level of plutonium. so finding it anywhere is dangerous. it's been very small amounts so far. but it's an indication -- say the japanese government officials that the containment areas around the reactor core has been breached. either in the reactor vessel itself, or in some of the piping going into the reactor. it's a sign that the radioactivity that's been generated inside the reactor is now coming out to the outside atmosphere, the ground ar...

Day after news that the containment structure surrounding one reactor is damaged. workers found small amounts of plutonium that have leaked out from the reactor core. >> translator: if you look at the types of plutonium, the composition is different from the fallout. because of this, we believe this plutonium is likely to come from the reactor, which is troubled today. if we are going to detect higher level of plutonium we need to take higher measures. our intention is to continue with the monitoring. >> you're watching "world one" live from london. we head to new delhi and talk and meet the...

The nuclear crisis in japan, of course is far from over. let's check what's new this morning at the fukushima plant. water found in a tunnel at the number two reactor is reported to be at least 100,000 times normal levels for coolants inside a nuclear reactor. earlier, tokyo electric had said the level was 10 million times normal before the company corrected the number. there is concern about how to get rid of that radioactive water. officials say an apparatus to pump it all out is almost full as are several nearby storage tanks. and the temperature inside the number one reactor, that could si...

Save these people from having to do. >> what could that do to you? >> plutonium is a bad one because if you inhale or ingest it, it's a very powerful emitter of alpha radiation, very strong up close, right next to fitissu. if it gets on your clothes, it can't even penetrate your shirt or a piece of paper. but if it gets in your lung or in your stomach, it's extremely bad news. >> that was issue number one, the news today with the plutonium in the soil. the next issue here is you have the radioactive water, this highly, highly contaminated water now in some of these tunnels which i didn't even ...
