which until they get them closer to the mill stone who took some of the three holes for the day in the pool to ease goldman turns the rim brings the cream it used to be the most acute in terms of the oil spill in the rubens original. about two thirty pm most crowded time these are the top stories here on our t.v. the u.s. led coalition against colonel to counter these forces is growing as libya is hit with more airstrikes and cruise missiles probably says against the intervention are also getting louder ahead of the arab league says the bombardment is targeting civilians instead of protecting them. and washington maintains its intervention will be limited even though it's behind most of the payload drops on libya it's raising fears that america's humanitarian problem this will have legal

consequences for civilians as it did in iraq and afghanistan. and japanese imports get the global cold shoulder after the fukushima radiation leak meanwhile the number of dead from the tsunami disaster rises to more than eight thousand workers are still struggling to prevent a nuclear meltdown out of the stricken facility which officials say may never produce energy and. now we stay with japan as our team here is from a nuclear engineer who worked on tackling the true noble disaster he gives us his thoughts on whether it's right to draw comparisons between the two and want to pass gas course of action might be. 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 needs going to us what was it like to work in chernobyl not of. it when. there was a great deal of work to be done but we only have 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 in the un report more than six hundred fifty thousand rescuers to part in dealing with the consequences of the chernobyl nuclear power plant accident but gives you an idea about the scale of that effort in which practically all soviet ministries and agencies were involved. plate he has had her 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 a containment over the damaged nuclear reactor he said it's
7:33 am
a guinea and no one in the world be at the americans the british the french the germans or the japanese could have done separately all together or you the soviet people managed to do in such a short period of time. personal compare the two eras or their political circumstances in sweden on august the twenty sixth people came to work they also had 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. the swedes raised worldwide fervor and so that's obviously union was forced to admit that an accident had happened it would have recognized the fact anyway but only later were building them in the air 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 to nobble caused
7:34 am
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 could covering it was a must. it was decided that after a sarcophagus was built people would be able to come close to it and the radiation measurements on its surface shouldn't exceed one hundred going on our current 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 intuition and an immense amount of courage the situation began to change and that enabled helicopters to fly at low altitudes for better observation we developed a specialized bertha's cave tanks inside which people were lowered every day we gained new knowledge every day we introduced certain modifications and as
7:35 am
a result it came possible to do it within a brief period. of. what happened to those the work to be trainable powerplant after the explosion do you know the stories of those 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 which a novel 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
7:36 am
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 see 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. more of a 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
7:37 am
accident exceeded ninety times the yield of a bomb that was dropped on hiroshima first i don't think the discharges 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 and 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 for the most important thing that we have to bear in mind is that the current negative events in japan are taking place at the first generation nuclear power stations they were built in one hundred seventy one they're forty years old by the way the two novel nuclear power plant was also built in the one nine hundred seventy s. . as for 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 to nobble additional changes have been introduced to projects and specifically to the metal as we call it the safety standards of today's nuclear
7:38 am
power stations a world apart from the safety levels of stations built in the one thousand seventy's or eighty's everybody predicts failures and so panicked that the powerful reactors of the type used to channel are still in operation and are not safe enough and 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 thousand negative 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 enter generational continuity today's generation in charge of the world's atomic energy didn't take over those traditions all the experience of those who actually created atomic energy at that time. bubbles that engineer discovered is the japanese do the same. in order to preserve human lives there has to be an
7:39 am
agency to supervise such dangerous industries it should set regulations and requirements developed on experience and knowledge and traditions for these industries certainly his agency should be created within the u.n. today they say that the i.a.e.a. determines the policy but unfortunately b. i.a.e.a. has no such rights even though it certainly possesses a 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 this is the wrong decision he has a lot of other should not be 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 slight 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
7:40 am
authorization to act. i knew that i was. very sure level was so high that people couldn't spend more than a minute near that your novel reactor and had to wait for hours afterwards to continue their work what i did first symptoms of faded asian exposure and people record of moral reviews 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 post-war 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 alcohol before it all happened just the same way he developed port that radiation level is strange or thirty to normal amount in japan right now people are scared even in washes far east what is the critical figure to show to be worried fever. the figure that you need not fear is twenty million returns an hour it's absolutely
7:41 am
safe being the natural background mountain climbers gain more exposure for example people flying on board aircraft get between twenty and one hundred times more exposure than that your airborne for just three or four hours and that's all and lack 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 blown into the atmosphere they'll be nothing to fear everything will be normal inquired. how does one act aboard want to tyrannize you. were 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 specialized protective clothing that should be changed from time to time get ahold of the dosage meter and have it with you wherever you go to monitor the situation. that's the word for

after the fukushima radiation leak meanwhile the number of dead from the tsunami disaster rises to more than eight thousand workers are still struggling to prevent nuclear meltdown arkell stricken facility which official say may never produce energy again. many more details on all those stories coming up at three pm moscow time next it's the sports bull's head with the bat. thanks lisa this is the sports news live from our gee thanks for joining us and here is what's coming up hershel wind up long bits the size of game seven to set up a western conference finals series with like you might see of. russian football being moved to the premier league summit for a day at least often optional play to no win over root though it's terry gross me.
