just joined us the very warm welcome this is life here in the russian capital top stories now the south is situation critical of japan's stricken nuclear power plant with cooling systems failing in all six reactors and threats of a new can in meltdown rising to the highest level since the explosions at the facility began companies officials confirm radioactive materials have leaked into the atmosphere and the radiation level currently exceeds the acceptable norm. the death toll from friday's devastating earthquake and tsunami climbs to over three

thousand with almost two thousand injured and over several thousand believed missing. and in russian regions close to japan residents of emergency service is on high alert despite officials claiming there's no current radioactive danger while moscow's tuesdays for a minute serenade and energy surprised on increasing the number of rescue workers in disaster struck and it's. back with another paper innocent fifteen minutes another meantime of the situation in japan develops the world's left wondering just how to prevent similar catastrophes in the future the former governor of pennsylvania richard no shares his thoughts on what important lessons can be learned from the japanese disaster and also past experiences. at this time when the world is watching with fear the developments of japan's fukushima nuclear power plant experts comparisons and examples in the. asked so

maybe help for see the future analysts tell us it's not yet sure novel but very comparable to another tragic accident which occurred in the united states in one nine hundred seventy nine i p three mile island power plant which is part of the state of pennsylvania and now i'm joined by take form work 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 this 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 really transpired it took

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 so i 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 your assessment how critical the situation in japan right now what's most scary is that we can't get ahold of the facts and i know that very well from my time as governor at the time the three mile accident was terribly frustrating you could not get a grip. on what precisely the facts were people were telling you more than they

knew 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 that than you were acting nine hundred seventy nine or the soviets were in one thousand nine hundred six when trying although 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 spent a lot of time studying three mile island and apply some of the lessons they learned

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 it in fairness to the japanese however i think the fact that this was such an extraordinary natural occurrence. earthquake itself a record sized earthquake followed by this giant tsunami that made this a little bit different than anything that went before 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 contingency 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

acid effectively destroyed that reactor to 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 everything they tried had failed and maybe this was just their way of saying look we can't save the street and that's too bad but it does indicate that the. defense in depth against these kinds of occurrences is absolutely necessary sackler that's 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 asked technologically advanced do you think people's fears are legitimate well you can believe that certainly in the united states i know and i suspect in other areas where plants have been built anywhere near

a fault line that they're rethinking their process they don't want to become another japan in 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 straits in germany for example to protest nuclear energy a similar actions took place and different in other countries they want to ban it i 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 looked and looked upon as a savior for humanity that we were going to have electricity it was too cheap to meter it was going to be the solution dollar energy problems that will vanish with three mile island gradually lately there's been a softening of the attitudes 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 a fact that nuclear power doesn't give off of the kind of carbon emissions that are suspected to cause global warming so that made a favorite in some aspects of the environmental community what do you think the wrapper questions will be on the nuclear policies that the governments have thank you whereas the 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 huge industry and you think we're getting the whole truth about what's going on in japan and i'm in no position to make that judgement i saw the experience i suspect that the japanese officials are trying in good faith to determine what the facts are as i said the worst thing to do is get out facts that are erroneous you've got to calibrate your response

depending upon the accuracy of 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 oh you also write about this fiction and fact yes aspect . in the coverage at five disaster like this before referring of course to the three mile island accident what do you think what the proportion is going to be hearing if i do i 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 fact has to be examined in terms of its source and the setting within which it arises it's not an easy thing to do with 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

it is a situation critical of japan's stricken nuclear power plant with cooling systems failing in all six reactors and threats of a nuclear meltdown rising to the highest level since the explosions of subsea began japanese officials confirmed radioactive materials have leaked into the atmosphere and radiation level probably exceeds the acceptable. the death toll from friday's devastating earthquake and tsunami climbs to over three thousand almost two thousand injured and over seven thousand people believe this. international region is close to japan residents and emergency services all high alert despite officials claiming there is no current radioactive danger meanwhile moscow's boosting its

humanitarian aid and energy supplies to japan are increasing the number of rescue workers in disaster struck. when i'll be back with more on that situation in japan in about fifteen minutes from now in the meantime let's cross now to kate and the sports desk. hello welcome to the sports and here the headlines. saying a lot of champions like past triumph formula some of us to use this hopes of reaching the playoffs in the finals. while his monsoon isotopic a fifth straight quarter final as they host last say. in salon or a buy in munich in the champions league. and local hero unheralded finds out as he called long lines at the dutch hurrican like the parties are in class in moscow. the start of the continental hockey league playoffs where double defending

back from league defeats to the reds and chelsea really to mail in for a cup or to final victory at home to also on saturday the manager sir alex ferguson is expensive you know that tough game this evening. with. the. germans and. sneezer how the after ancient fake ties and of how many times and the main difference imo i think would put in a very experienced travel marci team. and i think we well. lost a train at old trafford ahead of this evening's clash after the goal is to our home turf they need a win or score draw to go through the french side have not been in the last eight of this torment since becoming the first side to lift the chaldees we try nineteen ninety three and feel that machiavelli when it is fair to get started on the bench of a manager to get a shot says neil into the favorites. ok who you would expect it meant just you know

it didn't certainly go through she were annoyed that we haven't showed little opportunity if you like it football is not about statistics you know and on the other side this tuesday evening defending champions into milan need to overturn a one male deficit against crime unit after the genocide long things like it was some zero as the going to sleep it's a pretty strong her record in the champions league having won southern successive games it seems and i think positive change from the past like with forward who are on the ice in the final have is a message. but of course you have to believe in the victory. this game it's about one hundred eighty minutes we just play ninety minutes we lost one zero at home but we played well and we created some chances so. tomorrow is the other ninety minutes and we have to go for it we believe in it and we will see tomorrow on a well by inform are you and robin message a hat trick in their sixty a league win at home surrounded on saturday welcome sonic after the news coach
