why he thinks that nuclear energy is still one of the safest sources of power and getting safe. jerry it's great to have you with us today thank you so how much is the new production technology improved since its first reactor well the history of the nuclear age goes back more than a half century and enormous changes have taken place in that period of time i think the remarkable thing about the history of nuclear energy is how safe it has been almost from the very beginning. when we go back and see the first reactors experimentally being built in the one nine hundred fifty s. we're looking at a very very new technology and now we've had some bumps along the way that is force

for sure we had three mile island in america we had churned all ball in ukraine we just had fukushima but the i think the remarkable thing about this technology which is producing so much of the world's electricity is how essential east safe it has begin been it does not emit any emissions into the into the global atmosphere and it has only on very very rare occasion harmed anyone and meanwhile we've had thousands hundreds of thousands even millions of fatalities from the extraction of fossil fuels from the surface of the earth and from the health consequences of carbon emissions so if you look at the history of nuclear technology you not only see a very safe technology but you also see a relatively superior technology because it is essentially emissions free tallis always wondering who pays for storing the waste and how can engineer be profitable when you have to pay for storing away for thousands of years you know that the

question of waste is i think the most fundamentally misunderstood aspect of nuclear energy most people say well nuclear energy might be ok seems to be pretty safe but you don't know what to do with the waste let me say something that may shock you. the greatest comparative asset of nuclear power is its waste now why is this. in other major energy forms whether it be cold or natural gas or oil what you find is that the atmosphere the global public atmosphere is being used as an enormous planetary waste dump all of those carbon particulate all of that carbon monoxide all of that carbon dioxide is going in there right now we are emitting carbon dioxide at the rate of thirty billion tons a year which is eight hundred tons per second into the planetary atmosphere as an atmospheric way stop nuclear energy is producing

a considerable proportion of the world's electricity one six while producing an amount of radioactive waste that sequent to the size of the fuel which becomes highly radioactive and then must be safely stored but the wonder of nuclear technology is that it can be managed it can be contained there is a relatively small amount of it and it can be very very safely stored in the immediate term when it comes out of the reactor and it can eventually be put in long term storage containers placed back into the earth in the geological repositories that are carefully selected and without any ultimate harm either to people or the environment now you sound like and grassroots environmentalists what's your job right now how would you characterize it i think when bill make the credibility of the nuclear power industry well there are a lot of people think it's the greens versus nuclear and in fact in many green organizations anti-nuclear ism is one of the fundamental principles i'm in the

nuclear power business precisely because i believe in the in my or environmental virtues of nuclear power i got into this business when president clinton assigned me to be the his ambassador to the united nations or going to. nations that deal with nuclear energy and i was particularly concerned and focused on the question of nuclear proliferation and containing that and i did that work for president clinton for eight years but in the process i got a real education about the positive side of nuclear the the electricity generation that nuclear could bring to the world without environmental consequences and it was on that basis that i decided to dedicate dedicate the remainder of my career to promoting this clean energy technology part time with natural gas why why nuclear energy is headed to natural gas well natural gas produces a lot of waste it produces carbon dioxide emissions on a very very large scale these emissions come out of the burning of the natural gas

and they come out in even more potent form they come out of the transmission of natural gas through long pipelines where the unburned gas leaks in small quantity but in the form of methane that is twenty times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide so the combination of burning natural gas and the leakage of unburned natural gas that comes through the transmission lines makes this a very very serious liability for in terms of global greenhouse gas concentrations and you know that that europe sat powerhouse continent germany a solvent sustainable economy disagrees with you they want thinks out of their country and ali that last five to austrian foreign minister recently in their extremely proud of hat to be nuclear free. and you said that it's actually to gain votes we said it was undemocratic how so i was saying it was a sad it was an it's a sad result of democratic politics responding instantly and irrationally

to some event halfway around the world to change the basic energy policy of europe's largest industrial economy it was certainly done according to democratic procedures but these democratic procedures produced as doug democracy sometimes does a high. irrational result i'm an american i know that irrationality can come out of a political system i've seen it many times in my life an american democracy democracy does not produce great results and sometimes it produces silly results and we've just seen one and in germany what about for christina what happened there and least you keep telling me that it's all sane i don't keep telling you that it's all safe there was an accident at fukushima look what happened i mean how can how can that nuclear power be the future when it's still so incredibly dangerous for life well it's interesting that you would say that because we've just seen twenty four thousand japanese citizens killed by an earthquake and a tsunami. we've seen the media have a frenzy in covering the accident at fukushima which has not made it had not been

responsible for a single radiation fatality we have twenty four thousand citizens having died from the earthquake in the tsunami we've had a mishap a serious mishap at the fukushima power plant that has yet to produce a single fatality and yet people are using the word the phrase nuclear disaster nuclear tragedy as if something terribly harmful has occurred i'm in the at the beginning of the of the line when it comes to being unhappy about what happened at fukushima i think it was a tragedy in terms of the world's understanding of the essential safety of nuclear power i also think however that it might also be educational in the long term because people have begun to focus on and as they begin to begin to focus even more clearly on the ultimate consequences of fukushima they will learn that there was relatively little damage done by this event and this was a worst case nuclear event after for christina you said we need to go back and look

at whether those posts shut down cooling systems can survive the worst case events we can imagine what do you mean by go back the japanese made a mistake. the fundamental mistake they made was deciding that the worst. tsunami they might encounter would come at it at a certain height and that would be the worst case to nami that they would encounter and if they defended against that there there are backup cooling systems would be say that was a mistake because they misjudged and the result was that they did not have waterproof backup cooling systems and because they did not have waterproof backup cooling systems those were flooded and rendered an operative now why is this important how did this happen you have to think of nuclear energy as the equivalent of a racehorse that finishes running a race and then needs a cool down period the reactors at fukushima when the earthquake began shutdown they became essentially helpless on purpose but they still needed some exteriors

some external resupply electricity supply to power cooling systems that would get them down from five percent of their overall heat level they had been at one hundred percent they were already down to five they needed some extra cooling to get down to normal atmospheric and ambient temperatures all nuclear power plants require that outside assistance after they have shut down and the japanese mistake resulted in those outside non-nuclear systems not being available so the great irony of what happened at fukushima is that it was the failure of non-nuclear support systems to be available after the shutdown that resulted in this meltdown but you really believe everything that the nuclear operators tell you i don't have to believe but we operate a system of tremendous transparency we have i.a.e.a. standards that are enforced by national nuclear regulatory about bodies all around

the world which are independent bodies completely separate from the operators we have a worldwide network of nuclear operators who visit each other's power plants and write reports and. analysis and criticism of the shutter so that they are all working to come up to the same standard of best practice there is a great deal of conversation inspection and analysis application of standards judgement about whether people are adhering to standards that is going on on a daily basis throughout all of the four hundred thirty five power plants in the world the problem at fukushima was that they made a mistake in reactor design not in reactor operations but in reactor design and what happened to happen now is that every nuclear regulatory authority in the world needs to go back and ask the question are all of the reactors under my supervision protected against worst case natural catastrophes like floods like tsunamis like

earthquakes like plane crashes and that those questions are being asked right now i think they will result in some changes i don't think the changes are going to be terribly expensive i don't think they're going to take a long time to implement and i think that the the good of this is that the world will have drawn a lesson from fukushima and nuclear safety will be even stronger in the aftermath thank you very much for this interview him.

i was just thinking about my future before the foreign companies came i dreamed of owning a can cutting factory so much but we have less garbage now. some visitors who come here make fun of me. picking up garbage boy i'm not bad like people saying. i'm a good person. it's just the people don't see me. but i feel it was time

hello welcome to the sports news and i crunched wimbledon and other top stories. the field narrows world number one caroline wozniacki and both the williams sisters go out where she rapped about the stretch of the quarter finals thrilling day at wimbledon. was sealed prove all you need to do you know finally signs a deal to get past the russian national ice hockey team the soccer team when showing kicks. lying russia's. aims to become the first flights to cross the gulf and. the first to tennis and the shocks have been coming second fast in the fourth round of wimbledon as well number one caroline wozniacki and both williams sisters all went crashing out it's a pretty dang sail through an opening set against my back but when it gets to walkabout bought the world number twenty four turned the tables after that tough act to three second make last night's move wait even longer than a grand slam the younger williams sisters surrendered did look like she was on her way back in the second so that's what form of fun is marion bartoli won it on

a tie break how much balbinus lost in atlanta the longer back however former champion maria sharapova is safely through the world number six did run into some tough opposition early in her match against china's pinch why was the two thousand and four when i grow in strength to wrap it up six four six to get through drucker set so far as she returns to the quarterfinals for the first time in five years. i feel like my manners definitely improved this year but i think that's because it played a lot of matches. i think a lot of it is also reaction and. getting ready for the next day you had a ball instead of thinking it's over being prepared to hit another one another one and. you know just always better to until it doesn't come for me because i'm. however she'll be the only female player to fly the russian flight from now on patrick now that could throw the thousand easy victims in number four sees the

assistant coach while also saying he has already chosen the goalkeeping trainer and so far has the lines to reveal a name here that do not steps up to the national roll often even at boston three russian titles in seven years he's the country's most successful club coach with a total of four top flight to his my also managed russia for eleven months six years ago and has received a warm welcome back i'm sure but you know if. you want to go out of the temple seraphic you want to have a child for a month you've got a lot of experience so i think it's a good for our team. while in the other form of ice hockey russia's brand new sledge hockey team has been given a major beast ahead of them made an paralympic appearance install change three years time after the country's paralympic committee netted a couple of big sponsorship deals ahead of the games russia held their first ever national championships in sledge hockey just two years ago and have never entered the power in the tournament such hockey was introduced to the games program in the

one in nine hundred ninety four the united states norway canada and sweden all the big four in the sport this nation russia want to have their say in sochi and chief organizer in the china shango know what it mobile operator megaphone and insurance company for the backing. needed just to come by news leader you can see for yourself that two big companies to market leaders have become partners of the paralympic movement they've taken on the responsibility of helping the games committee and this post federations to prepare our future champions when you see a hugely beneficial change in attitudes. and finally constitutionally that she is aiming to make history by becoming the first person to kite eighty kilometers across the gulf of finland where she found four feet caught up with a russian and also looks at why kite surfing is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. over the last decade kite surfing has become more and more popular

it's dynamic great to watch all the riders can reach speeds of up to seventy kilometers an hour if the weather conditions are favorable the sport is relatively new in russia however the country has one of the best kind service in the business people to ski the age on the chi so if you could actually surf ways like in the regular surf and you can actually go on a long distance away from the reserve so it's like one word which takes all different sports together but we or it's not worth the worry survey research that's why if you try one you really like those that really everyone can find something different. for surfing and windsurfing a very dependent on the wind yvonne's just kind surfing is not so reminds me a woman's this means of the sport can be practiced wherever visit stretch of water be it on the ocean or just on the lake of the sport may seem expensive all the equipment can be bought the just under five thousand dollars want to pick up a sport according to paid it's actually easier than it looks if you tried first you

need if you didn't make it is for you for it you need only like one to be weak and you're going to be able to go up we back and forth and right even if you jump a bit so it's actually easier to learn than the surface surface to work so i mean most of the people they see from me and they say oh that's way too complicated for us but if you try it first you're going to see that the hardest thing is to control the kite first but as soon as you can get those logs and it's not really hard but also like bicycle sports isn't pages blood he's tried just about everything from motocross to snowboarding however it was quite surfing which eventually fell in love with. if he spends most of his time outside of the country training mainly in spain in the militias but it might only be twenty four years old but already has very short career pages achieved fantastic success and becoming one of the best kind service in the world however over the next few days is going to be facing one of his toughest challenges ahead as he looks to try and surf across the gulf of

finland all the way from thailand over here across the gulf of finland to helsinki which is a distance of eighty kilometers he aims to complete the challenge in around three to four hours which is quick given that it takes two hours for a passenger ferry to cover the same distance one of his greatest tests will be to try and read the wind and the currents how the page is a ready looking ahead to new challenges with his next aim trying kite serve dam a neighbor in his native st petersburg richard pombo fleet r.t. tallinn estonia. and that's all sports news for this person will be back again into asked on. wealthy british scientists i told some. of the. markets why not.
