you know two thoughts here on main headlines this hour the u.s. led coalition against one of the dolphins forces is growing as the various hit the air strikes and cruise missiles forces against the intervention and so getting around the head of the arab league says the been targeting civilians instead of protecting them from. washington maintains its intervention will be limited even though it's behind most of the pain that. it's raising fears of america's military and promise with the full consequences for civilians as it did in iraq and

afghanistan. japanese imports get the global cold shoulder off the fukushima radiation the well the number of dead from the tsunami disaster last more than eight thousand systems took rooms prevent including about outspoken facility which officials say made who produce energy again. well i'm staying with japan as all t. his from a nuclear engineer worked on talking about chernobyl disaster he gives us his thoughts on whether it's right to draw comparisons between the two and what japan's the best course of action now being. civil rights. thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us after that your novel catastrophic you were in charge of containing nuclear emissions from the exploded reactor to understand what situation the japanese workers are finding themselves in right now he explained to us what was it like to work in chernobyl

inaudible that award. there was a great deal of work to be done but we only had seconds or minutes to do the job if we wanted to avoid a long term impact on human health can you imagine what the conditions were like according to statistics from the un report more than six hundred fifty thousand rescuers took part in dealing with the consequences of the chernobyl nuclear power plant accident back if you an idea about the scale of that effort in which practically all soviet ministries and agencies were involved. five years had passed since that accident we were commemorating that anniversary and were drawing conclusions the i.a.e.a. senior expert john jacqueline of france came to visit us when he learned about what we had done and when he learned that i had been one of those who supervised the construction of the containment over the damaged nuclear reactor he said it's to get any no one in the world be it the americans the british the french the germans or the japanese could have done separately all together or do you the soviet people

manage to do in such a short period of time. let's not compare the two eras or their political circumstances and sweden on august the twenty sixth people came to work they also have a nuclear power plant over there and as they entered the premises radiation counters showed they were polluted an alarm was sounded and an investigation began the plant itself the only possible source of trouble was ok even so they looked at the windows diagram and it pointed to kiev the swedes raised worldwide fervor and so the soviet union was forced to admit that an accident had happened it would have recognized the fact anyway but only later we're building them in india in iran and in china turkey is preparing to place an order to the collapse of the u.s.s.r. did affect the industry can or will cause a major outflow we estimated the situation and saw that the reactor core fragments were scattered over a wide area add to that atmospheric movement so we realized that there was every

reason to cover what could be the source of further radioactive discharges a shelter had to be built it was another matter what kind of shelter but covering it was a must. it was decided that after sarcophagus was built people would be able to come close to it and the radiation measurements on its surface shouldn't exceed one hundred can an hour that was unattainable i regret to say but the walls did show something near it where we failed was the roof the work was on the verge of engineering risks you had to have ensure ition and an immense amount of courage as situation began to change and that enabled helicopters to fly at low altitudes for better observe ation we developed specialized better scaife tanks inside which people were lowered every day we gained new knowledge every day we introduced certain modifications and as a result it became possible to do it within a brief period. of growth for. what happened to

those the work of the chernobyl power plant after the explosion do you know there's always a little people how many survived you wouldn't. today i don't have the statistics about how many of us are already dead i think it's quite a lot disability accounts for sixty or seventy thousand of the six hundred fifty thousand rescuers in fact that's an awful tragedy affected my whole family being a professional i understood that there was no want to do that job except for the professionals it's clear second my wife dealt with nuclear energy she also visited the chernobyl nuclear power plant regrettably today she has cancer after several serious operations she's now though it's hard for me to say a person with very limited physical ability but she's not the only one there are many people like her. it's a very serious matter i think we can draw comparisons between the chernobyl accident and the current events in japan and we should understand that there's

a great difference between the two disasters and luckily according to the information which i have although it's rare that even for an expert it's hard to assess what's happening there. in the worst case scenario how bad the situation could be in japan. one of her the more for the only thing i can say is that no active zones or active fuel discharges into the atmosphere have taken place thank god that's why the scale of the disaster in japan is different yes it's true that the radiological situation around the station is periodic li getting worse and radiation levels are increasing dependent on events there i mean minor explosions that discharge radioactive gases but the most important thing is that there are no discharges of nuclear fuel which contain the entire periodic table of chemical elements that is why the events that are unfolding in japan will be less global than the chernobyl nuclear power plant accident exceeded one thousand times they deal with a bomb that was dropped on hiroshima first i don't think that if charges are going

to be as massive as at chernobyl second the atomic energy industry will suffer certain losses because of the reactors hit by explosions they're going to be lost five six or even seven nuclear reactors out of fifty five operating in japan form a significant share but there are unlikely to cause fundamental change but the most important thing that we have to bear in mind is that the current negative events in japan at taking place at the first generation nuclear power stations they were built in one hundred seventy one they are forty years old by the way the two novel nuclear power plant was also built in the one nine hundred seventy s. . that's why the current state of atomic energy i'd like to mention russia first the russian atomic energy industry has undergone significant changes and modernization since general additional changes have been introduced to projects and specifically to the metal as we call it the safety standards of today's nuclear power stations a world apart from the safety levels of stations built in the one nine hundred seventy s. or eight it everybody predicts fears and so panicked that the powerful reactors of

the type used to actionable are still in operation and are not safe enough but the safety standards of these reactors has also been upgraded therefore they pose absolutely no threat today. after the chernobyl accident the world sort of stepped back from atomic energy people felt they could have about it they were reluctant to work on it moreover young people didn't want to learn it and develop it further i guess the hardest consequence of chernobyl was this gap in intergenerational continuity today's generation in charge of the world's atomic energy didn't take over the traditions all the experience of those who actually created atomic energy at that time. but. even you would think africa is the japanese the same. over there. in order to preserve human lives there has to be an agency to supervise such dangerous industries it should set regulations and requirements

developed on experience and knowledge and traditions for these industries certainly this agency should be created within the un today they say that the i.a.e.a. determines the policy but unfortunately the i.a.e.a. has no such rights even though it certainly possesses large intellectual potential in this area but it's just a recommending agency it can't prohibit someone from doing something today. today the prime minister of japan is taking over the direction of operations of those stations as is the wrong decision he has a lot of other tsunami related issues to attend to including villages towns and industries washed away by the waves thousands of victims and so on this is his main headache despite that he's torn between the two but he's no specialist in this area what i mean is that we must have a highly organized and most importantly international agency which is given the authorization to act. it was. a

very shy level was so high that people couldn't spend more than a minute near the chernobyl reactor and had to wait for hours afterwards to continue their work one of the first symptoms of beijing exposure of people record of more. of the road some people have far more physical resilience than others it's highly individual let me give you an example there was a postwar accident at a nuclear facility in yugoslavia three scientists were exposed to radiation two of them died but one survived an investigation established that he had drunk some algol before it all happened says it's unlikely divided court that radiation level is joint or thirty to normal amount in japan right now people are scared even in russia's far east what is the critical figure to show to be worried if there were more than a breath of the figure that you need not fear is twenty million guns an hour it's absolutely safe being the natural background mountain climb is again more exposure for example people flying on board aircraft there between twenty and

a hundred times more exposure than that before airborne for just three or four hours and that's all a lot of information breeds panic this mustn't be allowed everyone should have truthful and accurate information we mustn't be afraid of information if in japan there are no discharges outside of the buildings if you will or fragments of the reactor core are not alone into the atmosphere they'll be nothing to fear everything will be normal in quiet or. how does one act of war if you're an engine. firstly don't come into the open if you can avoid it shut all the windows and doors and switch off your air conditioning if you have any secondly put on your individual protective gear the respirators that specialized protective clothing that should be changed from time to time get a hold of a dosage meter and have it with you wherever you go to monitor the situation. that's the word for thank you very much for your time.
