there they are watching not in the headlines for you know gunfire and explosions of their kind of office palace as u.n. forces press on with a no fly zone over libya or the international it is concern of a person simply an intention since. the u.s. has rushed to join the military effort in that despite already one of the paid periods of ongoing conflict zones where it's looking to paint over who benefits from such standing. and resumes efforts to stabilize the garment reactors at the

fukushima nuclear power plant to work or suspended an unexplained smooth emissions . what next the possible consequences russia could face it before she went back to goes into meltdown i discussed in the nose interview sure but still current. hello again and welcome to squads like the interview show on r.t. . and today my guest in the studio is. ship the possibility our very reactor meltdown japanese nuclear power station is sending shivers around the world

but it's the neighboring countries which are especially worried in russia's far east scientists are keeping an eye on the radiation levels they say the situation has remained safe so far but should we fear any global consequences that are here's the head of the commission and monitoring and analysis all japan's nuclear accident aleksandr luck should. nuclear power plants bring chip pan a-g. but they also bring risks in japan a powerful tsunami caused by a massive earthquake hit a nuclear power plant and caused several reactors to shut down part of the radioactive fuel broke free and it's causing fears of contamination in japan and in neighboring countries europe and russia have ordered a stress test of all nuclear power stations many europeans are so scared they won't hold nuclear stations in the region shut but experts in russia say we have to work on reactor security rather than shut them down and draw back.

thank you very much for being with us today hello first of all your commission as we just mentioned is called the commission i'm wondering an analysis of the situation around this foreclosure apparently and what's what's the main main mission main made to main task of you are of this group you having just said the main task of this commission is to morning for a to analyze the situation with the nuclear accident and japan and to inform russian government so so so so this so you can help the russian government get adequate information let's go write your it's not about informing the people informing the press because you do you do need actually with the press so is this a also your mission or is just your free will. probably it's a part of it ok now are you providing the japanese with any help with any

advice with anything or you just wondering we offer japanese our health and often any help they needed the software we. received in is specifically still we are really to you know whatever will lead. we send our experts to japan to an ally situation where they made some people they had some talks and as far as i know they gave some advice. don't open the japanese are you happy with the state of openness with the information they provide. well i wouldn't discuss. openness sure of what it will be amount of information we receive but i wouldn't blame them i understand the situation in work i understand the amount of problems. ok so so you say you understand them because you're

a physicist yourself and you work in the atomic agency of russia and you you say you understand those that mean that. if an accident like that happens the government the local government the the specialists at the site of the accident trying not to inform the public fully in order not to cause paralytic is there a sense so we may expect that the situation may be worse that there then they are reporting is that right and one is say i understand the circumstances and not on the nuclear accident and suffered from those from some money and that's why their own problems those people killed. it's for the nuclear accident itself probably you are right again. not to cause panic you don't have to say everything you think so you actually very thought that

what you say is so you must understand how people will accept this information as people usually overreact why these twenty years atomic they may overreact when it's not gonna be able to target universe us to. look the japanese government is claiming that they have reached subs success about the overheating at the reactors five and six there's that mean that the major catastrophe has been avoided or we may face something worse and new blasts and new explosions something catastrophic or what was that was done i mean the damage what you are certainly certainly something serious and it is very unlikely that samson there happens to us number five or six and i can see a major catastrophic is all variance there will not be any nuclear

explosion what everybody was afraid of but i wouldn't say everything is going over the wrist still some risk and significant risk the situation country worse because of a possible nuclear drop out yeah because of the possible nuclear contamination is not right because with the possible nuclear fuel meltdown and as a consequence nuclear contamination it will it will depend on the work of these guys who are working night and day out the site what it will depend on girder the weather both when it comes to slush situation most. most what can be done highly depends on the guys. seven hundred and some got ok how long. did your estimation will it take to link with

the acts and completely did you get away with it. i will say in four to ten days according to my estimation the situation has been a struggle i said. but to liquidate a situation at all it will probably. take up to several years i hear of your boss mr kerry and the well who is the head of ross after he spoke with russian television earlier today and he said that the contamination today in japan is pretty low well except like twenty miles around the station it may be bigger but not to the catastrophic events bed that there is no risk practically or are all well touch wood for neighboring countries i used to confirm this information or made maybe there's been some new information coming i confirm this information there is no reason nothing risk countries doesn't mean

countries will not see or will not measure. might be some changes to a radioactive situation but no risk i can confront it and there is still no risk for japan so far with dollars here in risk for japan except this twenty kilometer series of events that there is will not not panic but great worry and great concern among russians living in the forest i know that i know that people are starving buying tickets trying to take their kids out is it true do you know anything about . this i knew about the situation and know what people feel there and i know the real situation with radioactivity there is not only reason there is no changes. radio active waste from a power plant in our system maybe it's damage the environment.

it has already damaged and wireman the question is to what degree to what extent you will have to wait until the situation is over until you start a life and have to calculate what amount of writing on the clothes went or and then the judge very clear very carefully you know. my wife mrs green when she was watching television the day she heard that there's somebody saying thank god most of the wind went towards the ocean and most of the radioactive cloud went towards the ocean you know what was the sea so what she said immediately we should stop eating sushi. because because the fish well drank radioactive water and the fish comes from japan and so so sushi may be dangerous and you can feel them and the like can you not the what. is passed. doesn't matter what the amount of radioactive really goes to the ocean is

a minimum of such amount of liquid don't be afraid so even even if there will be caught in japanese waters will not be dangerous for humans to try to eat him exactly how you. are you satisfied with the way the russian government is reacting to because. for as i understand some governments around the world have changed their atomic policy said speed to say well let's let's stop the projects let club let's cut the number of a power stations the russians are being so to say leveled and that. is is the russian atomic agency recital is it happy with that we actually. it was russian. we field or government trust. us.

actually this is just an accident. must be analyzed including my tape taken after wards but still there is not and there is no another suppresion source of energy for the future there is why we must prove the safety of her own plans and why the new design nuclear power plants what was ten such a situation the nuclear power plant. in india are going to be on turkey on and. off for to build in bulgaria they have kind of hope on what was termed well suffer from the japanese slump ok we will talk about project server side in less than a minute after a short break just a reminder that my guest today is alexander deputy director of the russian state atomic energy corporation. and they had the right side of commission and monitoring

and analysis of japan's new threats and spotlight will be back stay with us. first cream remove old cold a clear cut on the. second the explosives are used to blast and go deeper than the kill. hurt the remains are removed by machinery. finally someone actually is deposited in vallecito.

regulations the safety requirements and atomic station i know they have all these be very high i know that i know that in russia at modern stations the safety requirements are even higher than in japan a very high tech nation so in russia they are higher but are you planning to to analyze the maybe to review them and to make them even higher i'm sure that i'm sure that that that people from the government are saying you should i are going to do that. first of all have to say this because health will probably do this first of all they have to analyze what is going on. what changed if before the accident they could answer some questions is improbable it can't happen now we don't have a right answer like that. we have to ask ourselves what happens if we can we

have to imagine. very improbable situations and to give to ourselves first of all the answers present safe sustain us we have to improve when i read about what happened in fukushima i suddenly realize that these these say to require means they should they should take into account every possible situation starting from a terrorist act to an earthquake and the earthquake is even. even more serious than an act of terror because it's it's it's more powerful but a tsunami is it true that it was the water which damaged and which ruined the fukushima station not the earthquake absolutely. so so but but but but there are places where tsunamis cannot happen never it is

a true the truth is there are some places where sonali never happened it never get real and nobody can tell even so sort of is it possible to defend a station to get the tsunami or know that yes it is possible even the coast of somalia for your children should build it in first places. both but after a while just happened we have to take into account probability even if as i said it never happened before as for those japanese aware and this plant was designed for tsunami but not so high the highest tsunami it was designed is as far as i know six point five meters it was like ten years and now it is just a million and fourteen fourteen members so. what let's take a look at the evolution of attitudes towards nuclear energy and the report go back spotlights a little to me that. the churn or gold is just over twenty years of strong public

opposition to nuclear and the last ten years now ever have seen a shift in attitudes with makes nuclear power plants attractive despite the potential risks is there a lot of environmental friendly nice. woman issues we could turn to nuclear energy because it causes less carbon dioxide emissions another factor in favor of nuclear power plants was the high gas prices over the last decade as the world watches the situation at the fukushima plant and to new feelings and gaining momentum demonstrations trading across europe protesters in sr if a country as organized as japan was not ready for the accident the safety of nuclear energy cannot be guaranteed at all nations which are currently using nuclear energy. are initiating investigations into the safety of existing power plants or she's no exception is going to turn power plants not region at the moment

all of the will be checked for potential risks however the nations which seem immune to panic turkey for example which is also prone like japan hasn't given up on its whence to build its first nuclear power plant the plans have recently been discussed in law school of the russian president and the true prime minister meanwhile implementing this and other similar projects might prove problematic is government claims to be opposed by the public which is once again losing trust in nuclear energy as a result what would happen if the fukushima plant. there's no action well turkey was mentioned about. a project the winner of saturn has been negotiating is a project of coal garia well how will the new clear the nuclear the the arid time

nuclear public sentiment that is rising around the world we usually make that affect the new projects or rosado and especially those which haven't been negotiated yet like the garrett project. they have to prove plant we're going to build is say what we have to prove the same in the past turkey is a safe make country we can call it as a safe mix a sneakily after the act of country but the turkish government has decided to go on with the project and is continuing to cooperate with. them. is there anything special. i mean concerning the safety. of the plant you have to the interview were is it a standard set of safety regulations every pole plant i mentioned before is designed for the for the opinion of the location of this plan says active or

less serious work it is designed for more stronger or less strong or flick of steel it is designed to withstand an earthquake which can help and they say what is interesting. the russians are very proud about the safety and measures they take at nuclear power plants maybe it's because of tree novel because we did learn a lesson after the true novel an accident so can you say that today russia has the the most advanced safety safety measures in the world and then usually a policy stations even better than japan and france and the countries. i can see russia has one of the best designs in the world do you do people like yourself do specialist share these things i mean all or are there any secrets that other

countries technological secrets that you keep you know there is no secret sequence we're open we're demonstrating. so all nuclear new nuclear know how especially concerning safety it's like you need internet and some able for everybody here they are but still no ho. ho so there is no doubt that you i mean you may not share it but you may sell it is a true. sense that anybody who cares about it may may may either get the nobel for free or why some of it in france and it's not on the market ok. this isn't japan's nuclear accident. show that. total safety talk insect is a myth. you know it's too early to say. sure of the risk always some probability. before the threat was said the probability of an excellent like this is ten minus six and we believe this

probability is variable but after this accident we will probably have to reevaluate the estimation of this probability. there is nothing absolutely certain just to questions what we believe is saying did you ever have a feeling that running a nuclear power station is like is like flying an airplane because airplanes are considered to be the safest transport in the world you should know that but every day thousands of people die in the current students but once a player there is a plane crash harry says oh we've got it out a tragic accident it isn't are you in the same situation with nuclear i mean thousands of technological accidents happen every year but whenever there

is a minor incident on a nuclear power plant one there are reasons we should start that will we should abolish all nuclear stations that will lead to tear gas is it true can we compare these three things. the really big difference between an operational nuclear plant peroration the full first you have to do in the reason emergency cold month to shut it down really you can't stop prepare a plan. for a great difference. and still the nuclear power plant is on earth. when you're on the earth you can do everything you need doesn't matter how expensive a cheese that's required to have him he's. still a but still they say that nuclear energy today is one of the safest and certainly the cleanest energy in the world do you feel that despite the incidents the share of nuclear powered nuclear generated electricity in the world will be rising. years

. early to judge let's wait for a while let's wait one months after one month we'll compare the consequences of this accident with the consequences of accidents look like first grade how the industrial excellence synonymy whatever fire runs out and then well the fear is behind us will cry to give the sauber and i was ok thank you thank you very much for being with us in just a reminder that my guest in the studio today was alexander the pluck she in the deputy director of the russian state atomic energy corporation proscar the head they had of the us out of commission on the monitoring and analysis of japan's nuclear plants and that's it for now for the spotlight will be back and so then they are party and take. notes.

we'll. remind you the latest in science and technology from the realm of russia. we've got the future of coverage.
