markets finally. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with a much stronger or a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report. if you just joined us a very warm welcome this is not a computer live from the russian capital with the twenty four hours a day top stories now it is situational critical at japan's stricken nuclear power plant the cooling systems failing in all six reactors and threats of a nuclear meltdown rising to the highest level since the explosions of the for some time again japanese officials confirmed radioactive materials have leaked into the atmosphere and the radiation level currently exceeds the acceptable norm. of the death toll from friday's devastating earthquake and tsunami climbs to over three thousand with almost two thousand injured and over several thousand people

believed missing. in russia regions close to japan residents and emergency services are on high alert despite officials claiming there is no current radioactive danger meanwhile moscow's boosting its humanitarian aid and energy supplies to japan one increasing the number of rescue workers in disaster struck areas. well as the situation in japan develops the world's left wondering just to prevent similar catastrophes in the future the former governor of pennsylvania richard former now shares his thoughts on what important lessons can be learned from the japanese disaster and past experiences that's in our interview next on altie. i piss time when the world is watching with fear the developments of japan's fukushima nuclear power plant experts see comparisons and examples in the past and maybe help for see the future analysts tell us it's not yet sure novel but very
1:32 pm
comparable to another tragic accident which occurred in the united states in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine the three mile island power plant which is part of the state of pennsylvania and now i'm joined by take work who was the governor of pennsylvania at the time sir thank you so much for joining us thank you guy and well first of all what do you think about the comparison well there's an. eerie similarity between what's happening in japan today and what happened in pennsylvania in one nine hundred seventy nine. there are obviously differences because we didn't have to deal with a record earthquake or aftershocks or following tsunami but the technical challenges are pretty much the same so what happened to those three mile island was a partial core of meltdown in one of the reactors how bad were the consequences back then at the time i we had no sense of what had really transpired that it took
1:33 pm
a long time to complete the cleanup process and determine precisely how much damage had been done but about a third of the radioactive core had melted down prior to the. the reactor being brought under control and that was serious how costly was that well the cleanup cost was something that. really was neglected for a while we had to go and cobble together a group of contributors but it ran to about a billion and a half dollars for that one reactor and that was nine hundred seventy nine dollars it would be a lot more today the news coming from the fukushima power plant is pretty scary we heard about several explosions at the plant and your assessment how critical is the situation in japan right now what's most scary is that we can't get a hold of the facts. and i know that very well from my time as governor at the time the three mile. was terribly frustrating you could not get a grip on what precisely the facts were people were telling you more than they knew
1:34 pm
or less than they knew self-appointed experts kept showing up and the company that ran the plant was a very poor source of information they misrepresented certain facts to us so we had to do was operate really as investigators and constantly go back to people for their version of the facts and then put that together with the with everyone else's service free mile island accident happened over thirty years ago when are we supposed to think that the japanese now are better at dealing with a crisis like bad things you were back in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine or the soviets where in one thousand nine hundred six when true novel happened one would certainly hope so i think one of the challenges when you have a major catastrophe like this is to learn the lessons that it teaches i think that around the world people involved in the nuclear energy energy industry spend a lot of time studying three mile island and apply some of the lessons they learned
1:35 pm
to subsequent projects but we're all human we make mistakes we forget we don't learn the lessons of the past and sometimes we pay a whale of a price for in fairness to the japanese however i think the fact that this was such an extraordinary natural occurrence the earthquake itself the record size earthquake followed by this giant tsunami that made this a little bit of difference and then it went on for start talking about japan's handling of the situation the japanese experts decided to flood the reactors with an improvised flow from marine muck as i understand it right and many saw it as a desperate move coming from a nation that is considered to be one of the most technologically advanced and people are asking whether campaigns can pin. planning for disaster a was is really as good as. everyone thought it was i think that's a fair question to ask the flooding of the reactor with seawater and boric
1:36 pm
acid effectively destroyed the reactor and show that they were giving up on using more conventional means to cool it down again in fairness they lost all the electric power in the area the generators were. defunct but everything they tried had failed and maybe this was just their way of saying look we can't say this and that's too bad but it does indicate that. defense in depth against these kinds of occurrences is absolutely nest egg sack that is what i wanted to ask you about i mean people are now looking at japan and thinking of japan it's struggling what happens if a disaster like that hits another country with a power plant but not as technologically advanced do you think people's fears are legitimate why you can believe that certainly in the united states i know and i suspect in other areas where plants have been built anywhere near
1:37 pm
a fault line that they're rethinking their process now they don't want to become another japan and that sense and whether there's a solution or not we won't know until we've sifted through all the evidence that comes from this accident we heard about forty thousand people you know who took to the streets again germany for example to protest nuclear energy similar actions took place and different in other countries they want to ban it you think that's the way to go well there have been strong feelings about nuclear power from the very beginning after the three mile island accident there were lots of protests oddly enough up to that time nuclear powered look to been looked upon as a savior for the humanity that we were going to have electricity it was too cheap to meter it was going to be the solution to all our energy problems that all vanished with three mile island. gradually lately there's been a softening of the attitude toward toward nuclear energy for two reasons one is the rising cost of alternative sources of energy and second is a little more subtle and that's the fact that nuclear power doesn't give off of
1:38 pm
a kind of carbon emissions that are suspected to cause global warming so that made it a favorite in some aspects of the environmental community what do you think the wrapper questions will be on the nuclear policy that the government said thank you western european union and china and india they're all going to stop and take a deep breath and look at the consequences of this when they're fully available. i don't think they're going to abandon their present commitment to nuclear power but i think that it represents a step backward in terms of their desire to build more nuclear plants sir considering how much is at stake basically. industry do you think we're getting the whole truth about what's going on in egypt and i'm in no position to make the judgment i thought or experience i suspect that the japanese officials are trying in good faith to determine what the facts are as i said the worst thing you do is get out facts that are erroneous you've got to calibrate your response the pentagon
1:39 pm
the accuracy the facts that you have and there i suspect if my experience is any guide they're working around the clock to try to make sure they have accurate information to convey to the public and to provide a basis for their response well you're also right about this fiction and fact aspect. in the cover a chance. for it referring of course to the three mile island accident what do you think the but the proportion is going to be hearing if i do go to the head of the class and could really provide japanese friends with some real guidance it's a process that has to be tested every factor has to be examined in terms of source and setting within which it arises it's not an easy thing. to do it's the single biggest challenge of emergency management is getting accurate facts so that you can make the right decisions you can be the best decision maker in the world but if you don't have the right facts you're in trouble thank you so much sir thank you guy.
