otoh the old waverly who turned it in calls her to the mill stone who told some of the country house call a day in the pool mattel's the regret the creamy the chills to feel the most acute maternal the oil the ruben's her gentle. sarkozy from moscow the top story dominating the news explosion at the fukushima nuclear power plant in japan has called for years a possible radiation leak today reactors roof collapsed injuring four workers people within twenty kilometers the plant has been evacuated it follows japan's was never a quake which triggered a devastating tsunami yesterday the desperate search for survivors says japan's entire defense force mobilized after the huge wave swept through villages and submerged dozens of towns over seven hundred people are confirmed dead so far but

with thousands still unaccounted for tonight separatists. christopher simons a professor of international christian university in tokyo he shared his thoughts on what direction the situation in japan could take now. although the situation is quite dangerous it seems as though hopefully it will not be as serious as chernobyl this reactor is cooled entirely by water. i mean down is simply when the nuclear materials cannot be cooled and the temperature rises in the containment area and the reactor materials themselves to the point at which they destroy the reactor that surrounds them of course these temperatures have to reach about five hundred degrees celsius for the metal and for the uranium itself probably in the order of eight hundred to one thousand degrees celcius. the good news is that that

in the daiichi reactor. is entirely water so the material venting into the atmosphere will likely be just steam radioactive steam in the case of sharon noble the reactor was moderated by graphite and ground. holds the radiation and splits much further as dust and gas so. that was the significant problem with sharon over the neutron moderator and there in that react it was different and the radiation could spread much further have just to give us an idea for those of us who never seen a reactor when the roof of a reactor collapses what exactly does that mean does it mean that the whole facility is breach of the core of the reactor there has has been breaches in danger . and not not necessarily now you have to remember that at the daiichi site there are i believe six active reactors all of which have shut down did appears as

though reactor building number one is the site of the explosion now we see is the oldest of the six reactors at daiichi was built in one nine hundred seventy nine so it suggests that the people the structure on the site was also the weakest keep. being advised to stay in their homes and not drink water turn off their air conditioners so it sounds like the government is preparing people for significant nuclear power he just said that people were asked to and not drink of water then what what are their options there you mean topwater is that what we're seeing. dunce right that's right that suggests that the government. is taking precautions but it seems as though they're suggesting that as the radioactive steam which is venting from building number one cools imes fear of course it see it states and now

as that steam condenses into liquid water will enter the water supply carrying. radioactive iodine and cesium isotope so with it which could contaminate people in the vicinity of biological facts will depend on a number of factors for example if you are a larger person you have a larger body mass absorbing that same amount of radiation that suggests that the most vulnerable people will be children and the elderly people with a smaller body mass or a more weaker body. i believe that measure of one thousand my perceivers was quite close to the reactor so obviously the main concern is for emergency workers firefighters and terry in the area people further away are probably not at so great a risk of course the. radiation is carried by particles in the air.

but diminishes geometrically with distance so hopefully the levels ten kilometers away or twenty kilometers away are not nearly as high at the moment what else can the government do how have they been handling of this and what else can they do is it going to be a manpower is it going to be an issue of machinery what does it entail to contain it. something like this. yes when there is an excellent question it's difficult to answer knowing exactly what's happening on the ground the military and the firefighters who who are into the city working on this problem are certainly specially trained to deal with this kind of emergency. i can imagine they are attempting to move. the remaining reactor core using high pressure water if the roof of the building is off then about water will simply vaporize into radioactive steam the amount of water required to cruel the reactor core would be

significant unfortunately emergency workers in the vicinity will be receiving. quite dangerous levels of radiation. at this point the best thing that the public can do what the government can do for the public is to move people as far away as possible. we have the whole world watching what's going on in japan memories of chair noble come up and have been repeated now what is the effect for the rest of the world some have been mentioning it's an issue of the ram to carry radiation the seas being at contaminated what exactly is it impact the implication of such a disaster on the rest of the world. will hopefully the first of all hopefully this disaster will be compared to chernobyl relatively we can hope for a relatively small scale disaster and as i mentioned only one out of the six

reactors at daiichi seems to have exploded or not the reactor itself but the building around it yes of course depending on the prevailing winds out of the out and sea conditions that radiation will be carried elsewhere in the world. i don't want to speculate without having more facts but i would personally like to be cautiously optimistic that given the nature of this reactor given the fact that it is like water boiling water reactor cools only by water that this radioactive material will. either not be carried too far the effects of the damage will be will be contained and this will not be a situation comparable to charitable when radioactive gas clouds reached europe and north america and japan is the cost with me that say three tectonic plates it's

definitely prone to earthquakes then you have a nuclear power plant my first question is can it has been decided designed to withstand such quakes and the second question is is the risk is that such a great risk to how the nuclear power plant in the first place in a country like japan. yes the question of whether or not japan should have nuclear power is of course the upper most in many people's minds tonight of course yes these these reactors have been built for any eventuality not only earthquake but some kind of. external damage from. some sort of accident. externally impact from a car or airplane and these reactors are built to last now as i mentioned these daiichi reactors are quite old now they're approximately forty years old the oldest one was built in one thousand seventy nine and i believe the number six reactor was

completed in the early one nine hundred eighty s. the technology of the earthquake prevention and earthquake proofing technology such as it is has moved on since then and as you as you've seen the effects there's a very powerful earthquake on tokyo have been. wait a minute we are very fortunate that japan has incredibly strict building codes and unlike the situation in kobe it seems as though these codes have been followed and the buildings in tokyo and other parts of japan have resisted the quake the nuclear reactors have been built to even stricter standards so these these fukushima daiichi reactors were built to contain to withstand rather the impact of a significant tectonic event a problem in this case does not seem to me to structure the reactor itself rather

the fact that the for some reason the electricity supply provided by the backup generators and backup diesel generators failed and now these generators would be onsite they would be very close to the reactor and i don't know what would cause them to fail other than the transmission lines to the reactor of or the earthquake damaging to diesel generators and sells improvements can always be made and new generations of light water reactors are certainly safe. i would say i'm off two minds about whether japan should have nuclear power in terms of current global environmentalists situation it's a better alternative than fossil fuels but of course given today there are significant dangers in a country such as thank you very much for a for your time christopher assignments from international christian university in

league say scan him key for the first hurdle this was to secure surprising for the omen had been one of the comes in the house over the last few years the black believes may have been unlucky from the standpoint of cisco is just amazing the amount of injuries and physical difficulties that they've had this year i don't know how you. how you can combat that how you can fight against that you know they lose the main players that they have that they've missed throughout the whole year particularly i'm talking about victor crap and social care of you know who are two of my guys from from the national team you know this is difficult to replace those guys and the other hand you've got to recognize the cesco was in the final fours and something that's never been done and will forever will be done and you've got to maybe give them a break. however there have been a few plus points and russian leagues one of the twenty's to just beat in yes' and looks like say it's kind of eight you go millions maybe finally challenged the

season is all seen a reduction in the number of foreign players point a trade in the country which is certainly good news for russia's head coach going thing about the league this year in russia is that there's less foreigners and there was less emphasis on the foreigners or more russian players are getting minutes and time to show themselves in an improving for me as the russian national coach that's a good player. but what are some old problems still remain point god being the key one jail holding the skilled russia spreading position with distinction for a number of years the pittsburgh mates it is not faith for and can be relied on for much longer i'm glad believes it's up to the country's coaches to try and find a solution to these problems point our position is the most problematic decision in russia and has been for many years. and this is something that needs to be not only discussed what needs to be addressed from the teaching and educational standpoint first at the lowest levels and then as we. work up into the higher levels in order to improve blocks of good natured thoughts told until i'm going to show off

a family trying to provide a solution at point government however van no one needs to be in the same class as someone like holden little in the life dimitris de'monte to so ricky rubio clinton's top song as an opposition i'm glad billy's a country still has some weeks ago so it can produce plays a piece kalimba got some interesting theories on this by the way why there are not natural point guards in russian what some of them are. educational and some of them are. cultural some of them are geographical when just to give you some world example you know ball handling and freedom of play usually is developed on the playgrounds and how many people are playing outside in the playgrounds in minus twenty five degrees so you know that's a geographical reason it's very difficult to find kids who are just out there playing with a ball and playing free and developing the kind of imagination and openness for the

game that you find when working in warm weather countries where guys just out in the streets play it all the time you know it seems like a little thing but it's a big maybe one of the reasons we don't see a lot of natural point guards and it's been a lean year for russian dossie bowl and that will continue to have to make do with a few resources he has a disposal power it's unlikely the american israeli will find a cure for his problem position ahead of the upcoming european championships and if you when you're meeting is ongoing search will continue which of them both you don't see. all right in the n.b.a. boston's big three were done size in philadelphia the sixers beat the eastern conference leaving celtics out on reality paul pierce and kevin garnett combining for just thirty minutes in a close eighty nine to eighty six ruled last though he said to the fans a purely only story to reject to be shot in the first quarter also seem to lose the spring in their step down the stretch run build this early off along its
