the elements. among the old girls and. you want. to. call. the. hello this is the r t news channel from moscow the top stories tonight i meet a bit better says the foreign air strikes in libya are a direct result of the shameful behavior of colonel gadhafi of the crimes carried out against his people the russian president stressed civilian should not be put at risk while in falls into those like the. libyan leader stronghold was targeted in the continuing about russian strikes which of reportedly killed over sixty people now western officials claim they destroyed a command center used by the libyan army in the capital tripoli. and in other news

tonight emergency teams are going to back away to take your pants fukushima nuclear site the smoke is seen rising from the power of the reactor and it is have managed to restore electricity to three reactors there and it's hoped that that could enable them to restart the failed system. i'm staying out with our story next in japan as r.t. his from a nuclear engineer worked at the scene of the chernobyl disaster he gives us his thoughts on whether it's right to draw comparisons between the two watch of pounds best course of action might be now. civil rights of guinea 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 to clean to us what was it like to work in chernobyl and out of. it when. 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 or than six hundred fifty thousand rescuers took part in dealing with the consequences of the chernobyl nuclear power plant accident that gives you an idea about the scale of that effort in which practically all soviet ministries and agencies were involved. five years have passed since that accident we were commemorating that anniversary and were drawing conclusions the i.a.e.a. senior expert joins 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 and said if the if gainey no one in the world the at the americans the british the french the germans or the japanese could have done separately all together what 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 in sweden on august 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 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 were 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 to normal calls the 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 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 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 workers on the verge of engineering risks you had to have in jewish 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 specialized bathyscaphe 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. that's. what happened to

those who worked at the chernobyl power plant after the explosion do you know the stories of those people how many survived. 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 has its in 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. well you see it in the worst case scenario how bad the situation could be in japan. one of 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 just charges 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 ninety times the yield of the bomb that was dropped on hiroshima first i don't think the discharges are going to be as massive as actionable 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 but the most important thing that we have to bear in mind as of the current negative events in japan and taking place at the first generation nuclear power stations they were built in one hundred seventy one to forty years old by the way to chernobyl nuclear power plant was also built in the one nine hundred seventy s. . that's the current state of atomic energy i'd like to mention russia first a russian atomic energy industry has undergone significant changes and modernization since two novel additional changes have been introduced to projects and specifically to the metal as we call it for 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 eighty's everybody predicts failures and so panicked that the powerful reactors

of the type used to travel 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. after the chernobyl accident the world sort of stepped back from atomic energy people felt 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 true novel was this gap in intergenerational continuity today's generation in charge of the world's atomic energy can take over those traditions all the experience of those who actually created atomic energy at that time. but the ones that are thought more engineers the surface the japanese the same version of it are there. in order to preserve human lives there has to be an agency to supervise such dangerous industries it should sector regulations and requirements developed on experience knowledge and traditions for these industries

certainly this agency should be created within the u.n. 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 it is the wrong decision that he has a lot of other should not be related issues to attend to including villages towns and industries washed away by the waves of 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. i knew that i was. every shot 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 where the first symptoms of radiation exposure on people report of more or. 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 that unlike the other port that radiation level is twenty or thirty to normal amount in japan right now people are scared even in watches far east what is the critical figure to show to be worrying fever more are now both up to a figure that you need not fear is twenty million ruins an hour it's absolutely safe being the natural background mountain climbers getting 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

a lack of information breeds panic this must be allowed everyone should have truthful and accurate information i 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 and quiet. how does one act or the water. 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 a hold of a dosage meter and have it with you wherever you go to monitor the situation. that's what thank you very much for your.

pretty good. yeah i mean it's been a dream start i don't know how to describe it really keeps on getting better. i'm definitely feeling great on the court in today the best player in the world and you know i mean it was very close match and that's what i expected for the first set and a half he was the better player and i was just you know fortunate to make a break in a hole that second serve second set and from that moment from there i went moment on i felt like i'm going better no surprises in the women's tournaments where the top ranked carline wozniacki was too good for marion bartoli although she did need three sets to do the business again with a blistering start taking the first set by six games to one but fifteen c. for charlie was not to be denied so soon the french were in fighting boxing the second six knots was to be her highlights wozniacki living up to her number one

look like champions will be fully and russia taking a well deserved victory forty five thirty. the germans were more tired and we should that we possess granger it's however the team performed even better than i imagined i thought the margin wouldn't be that great of germany have progressed very quickly down here and it became hard to compete with the high ground definitely help this this time. next year the moscow savior will be lost condition before the games in london and that will make the tournament crucial in terms of qualifying for world sport's biggest tournament because they bought out of r t. and that wraps up the sports this hour i'll see you soon where weather's coming up in just a techno. great for the full story we've got it for us to the biggest issues get the human voice
