our than 2 years have gone by negotiations in order to enter it. been long difficult. now that we are friendly here, it looks like children see the movie like those who used to come here to my the safety fukushima. i eat cheese nuclear power plant and if with

. ready ready ah ah ah. ready they say you either embrace japan or you reject it. you either adapt giving up your culture or you remain a stranger, a poor guy gene, or i'm a journalist. i've lived in japan for more than 30 years. i love and hate this

country. i know it and i ignore it. i accept it and i oppose it as if it were my own country. i can happily sleep on the tommy, but i cannot give up some of my old and healthy habits, such as my coffee above all, i never get used to earthquakes. i live on the 6th floor of an old building and every time there is one, even a small one. it makes me panic with . if i would have been at room at 2 46 pm on the 11th of march, 2011,

i would pay a lot of gentle here. i don't remember what you thought would be better because i know mine with i've been, i've been when i came up with, well, what about this i contin off that amount of a sheet of benefit out of them a kinda i think you think a 10 that said that i did not, i made it right here. okay. got you because you on the back

and i realized that we have survived the largest earthquake ever recorded in japan . 90 degree on the richter scale at the epicenter east of the country and felt it as a magnitude or $74.00 in tokyo. he then assume a 400 miles to the coast of to hope in some places it exceeds 30 meters and reaches up to 67 kilometers, whole region. beautiful with its wooden plastic lumen houses gets invaded quickly, swallowed by water. ah,

reactors have shut down so they're no longer generating. it's hard to believe the 1st death tolls report so few, it's hard to believe. so you say that nuclear power plants are safe here, your situation is pushing my nuclear power plant on the 19 facilities existing in the country. located 300 kilometers north, east of tokyo. 6 it's owned by tapco, one of the 10 electricity companies. it's kind with it's 6 nuclear power. reactor is the power plant is one of the most important nuclear facilities in the world and considered one of the safest nuclear stations. in spite of its 40 years during the endless minutes earthquake, the power reactors in operation, 12356, automatically stop, and the operators activate the security procedures. the

earthquake helps the client hard. the high voltage mat school and the cross station is isolated from the national electric supply. emergency diesel generator turned on automatically providing electricity to the cooling systems which have the task of reducing heat inside the power reactors once they have stopped working. barely an hour after the earthquake, a wave of 14 meters devastates the nuclear power plant. crossing over the damn bill to the protection of a nuclear plant against waves of 6 meters maximum height. in a few minutes, the water fills all of the technical rooms. damaging the emergency generators located in the underground basement to work is ground.

without any tricity or monitoring indicators are abused. nobody knows what is happening inside the reactors. and the magnitude of the emergency is not clear that co stop managers and broad to promote japanese nuclear technology and the news broadcast my television is to contradictory to be true. i have to do something i called the manager. but the phone and the internet aren't working anymore to reactivate electricity in the control panels. the plants director muscle yoshi death or does the work is to extract the batteries from their cars and sans others to buy batteries and the nearest supermarket. the workers succeed in restoring the electrical power of the panels in the control room. but the internal pressure indicated that the reactors reveal the situation in all its gravity. if they don't act immediately, 3 reactors may explode. in order to decrease pressure, you need to release the radioactive gas that has accumulated inside the react is

bought in order to do so. tapco must ask the prime minister for permission. no can . who is also an engineer, gives the green light. the circuits do not have enough power to open the vows. manual opening seems to be the only option, but the related procedures are not set out in the instruction manual. ah, 5 kito. not enough of me here. i'm not a kid or no, let me know if i need a rental car is the 1st time that the japanese government has the k, the nuclear emergency. we will remember the accident. the nuclear facility at folk i knew it is iraqi prefecture. in 1999 point 2 was, were killed and about a 100 people were consolidated. of course i remember it came with the new cynthia accident 3 days later.

and the death tolls and future only 10 days with fear in tokyo, there have been neither significant damages nor any victims. people panicking, they start getting ready to spend the night. public places offices at friends, houses are in the open air. this is already up to the say it up what my status was . if you have, i did get that the soda with what did it but what i put the number that is so the vehicle is that gonna cost you the answer to that data? i don't know what to do. i can stay in tokyo where i would probably receive more news. no. it's better to try to get to you walkie by car to come close to the damage nuclear power plant. nothing in the roads are blocked and

the nuclear power plant reaction and vice versa. perhaps a lot of people are trying to reach the north to obtain news of their relatives. even the railway work is interrupted, a country displayed and i have to go back to tokyo and try to catch a plane to akita. the only way to get the full kitchen is from the opposite side. ah

ah ah ah, they are seldom phenomena or things that black and white in nature. but the western approach to anything internal, personal, interpersonal,

or interstate relationship is one of the black and white realities. there are many, many shades of both different colors and the chinese philosophy approach to the issue is, you know, if we are different, we can work together. ah, alarmed by tape close, long silence can wants to understand community the gravity of the situation. he arrives the nuclear disaster sight. he takes charge, sending a team of workers to manually open the valve. having evacuated the population within a radius of 3 kilometers. the controlled release of radioactive vapor seems to be the acceptable solution. people start to believe that the worst phase of the emergency is now over

in order to understand what's happening. i needed to go back to my school day. i revisit some physics and the lessons on how nuclear power plant works. fukushima day, cheese reactor type, general electric model of 1978. when an operation is like an enormous pressure saucepan, the nucleus contains bars of fuel made of uranium efficient of uranium nuclear produces radioactive adams, which continued to generate residual heat for days after the reactors arrest the heat in the react. his core is generated by nuclear fission. boiling water produces steam, which goes directly to the turbines and rotates them to produce electricity. the condensed steam then goes back into the reactor. the extraction and replacement of the fuel is usually performed by means of an overhead crane acting between the

reactor pool and the adjacent one. during this operation, the 2 pools are completely flooded. the transfer of fuel rods is performed under water through a common gate that works like a valve. keeping the fuel isolated from the environment and refrigerated at every stage is therefore a matter of fundamental security. and this is obtained through different containment barriers. designed a bit like a metro yoshika. the 1st barrier is the capsule of iron, the core of the reactor. the 2nd barrier is the shell of reinforced concrete. the walls of the building of the last barrier between the reactor and the atmosphere. ah, at 3 46 pm on the 12th of march camera's document, a huge explosion that shatters the top of react to building number one and

seriously injures full workers. among the operators at fukushima de chey and the watching world panic, escalades. fortunately, the 1st recognizance shows only the top of the building has exploded, not the reactor, which seems to be still intact. buckroe hot line, the brother also there was a load off your saw he passed there or you mother? i drive without stopping until dawn. when i find myself in casing know the soon army is spared only a few reinforced concrete buildings. the rest has been wiped out, wrung out and regurgitated without any order or restraint. but at about a quarter to ensure the air that are $30000.00 a percent. the jordan echoes sila. she thought so 90 krista.

ah, chris m o r k. as in oma m a t i wanna feed up at cs got better than that. i looked him. it was, it was an already master. inquisitive america though it is. that agenda is selfish and that i've been out in the summer, so by the se, order inhabiting seek to solve their problems. rather than questioning the nuclear emergency, fukushima is still far away in every sec, ah, the pressure in the react is increases again. they must be cooled and stabilized in order to avoid the worst possible outcome due to the lack of fresh water, the use of sea water seems to be the only solution what it means, the irreversible damage of all reactors muscle yoshida, director of the nuclear power plant was the one to make the difficult decision in direct violation of tip code orders, which were in favor of saving the expensive reactors from the corrosive effects of

salt. i didn't reach fukushima. now i came back here to a key tom and i'm afraid for the 1st time ah, isn't right to stay. i have a family in italy, 5 children, some right to risk it. i trust this government, especially the prime minister. but the problem is can this government trust pepco and the nuclear industry out there was a simple and honest person who would never allow the contamination of his people. i decide to call him directly taking advantage of our old friendship. and i can't reach him. when i come up talk to him or i have to address a delicate matter. i get in contact with his wife. oh feel it. oh fun. yeah. mama.

i see that in there. ty, chicata, oh no, no, i had to go. i think, i mean, i think in this young man a call on a few who she medina, she nuclear plants, they realized at the cool of react as 12 and 3 had already been damaged in a desperate move. the government sends a team of specialized firemen in an attempt to curve the most severe situation. the

one in the 3rd reactor. the men have hardly arrived when a massive explosion destroys the whole up a part of the building streets, also involving building fools. ah. some of the embassies are stoking fear, irresponsibly, most and foreign press, exaggerates, distorts, omits are often it invents fact. americans minimized the accident. the french warm of an inevitable, apocalypse reactors that are used in fukushima and the rest of japan are made in the united states. and the american industry intends to continue with their business enterprise. on the other hand, france would like to salad state of the art reactors, which they say are safe. the only official sources i know are the japanese national agency for nuclear safety that is more similar to us censorship agency and the

international agency for tomic energy, for atomic energy. the only thing that can help me understand is going directly to the power plant. i thought the final cause it felt coursing. cameras reveal a 3rd powerful explosion. the building of react to, to the walls remain intact. but a part of the react to suffer serious damage. tapco abandons all hope of saving the situation and considers the possibility of evacuating on its employees. now til can decides to go personally to the headquarters in tokyo and forces the president she meet so not to abandon the ship. doing so would imply the uncontrolled meltdown of all reactors, thus putting the very existence of japan at risk with

hulu. you know which you find it difficult to maintain the constant awareness that behind every broken window, every destroyed car and every upturned out there lies the story. if a person of a family of an entire country, it was a win win up with here you have no peace. if you know that a loved one was not accepted, one of the after work and still wanders in the world, which is no longer part of they watch over the bodies washed and dressed them with care could make after choosing auspicious day for

the coronation, they get ready, by placing their most prized possessions next to them. finally proceeding to the right of chicago. so the delicate, meticulous right of collecting the bones in the urns. it's such an intense moment. oh is she caught so ritual is celebrated also. ah ah. 6 at the same mammy also cause the suspension of cream nations for lack of feel like it, it was necessary to resort to collect the variables which to the japanese are

considered as sad and affection with the suit. mommy swept everything away, including the right to feel paid to remember on the deck. i thought it was a good fit. again, she don't then shallow gilt going up yodel,

you'd assign them on the de adequate dull and cranky shallow. ginger o'quinn yardi didn't go home at lunch time on the 16th of march. the emperor akito is speaking with a live broadcast. it's the 1st time that an emperor use his television to speak directly to the people are those who remember his father, emperor, hillary, he dos dramatic speech on the radio, announcing the end of the war. now japan is fighting for the life of its people. as it did back with tapco, pressured by the government takes its decision about 50 men are left there to deal with the situation. they operate in extreme conditions separated from the rest of the world, contaminated by radiation without any news from family members affected by the

tsunami. they fight to cool react is restore electricity and security systems. often by means of luck with it's time to decide what to do and in a hurry, the majority of my italian and foreign collies, i've already left the country and move to the so even if i wanted to go back in tokyo airports are now closed or clocked in case the situation worse and i would feel safer here in the north, protected by mount ranch rather than in tokyo or, or truck. where the wind would propel the radioactive cloud. as for a possible speedy escape from makita, you can fly directly to korea or by car you can easily reach the island, the full title from the capital city of support. you can get to the entire world. ah,

does under a dozen young miller the good, i mean, i think mike, i mean should but so i should. why did it? i just put up that is your point. yeah. i don't know a week or more i'm giving it away. yeah. for sure. i do the borrower from nice or yeah, it was a shed so you could please give me a call coaching. yep. and to put on the words and jim, i pulled up, put a couple ways to look at the invoice. so why so couple of able to use those that you don't need to to school for them or just a 0 to 40 some number on your smith. are you on the when come up to show that it

wasn't, it was what was, was the, what was it? so please let me up with a look at that was just fish review and each of them rich a lot, but i should not approve the use of the way for you to see make sure with any of course with with

ah ah, needs to come to the russians state little narrative. i've stivers on the most landscape div us. mm hm. and i'm not getting all sunset for a coup in sissy babel been okay. so mine is goodbye. must be the one on the home with we will van in the european union, the kremlin media machine. the state aren't russia today and spoke ortiz spoke mckibbin, our video agency, roughly all brand on youtube with over 20. did you say

it was with me? american trail is during the aerial recognizance discovered that the water in the spent fuel pool on top of react number 4 is evaporating, and the spent fuel rods, which have just been extracted are still hot. and i'd like you to be exposed to the air. now to karen, or does the army tease helicopters in order to dump water? take him directly from the sea. a high level of water in the pool must be maintained at any cost. unlike the reactor, there is no structure that can contain the fission. flying over react number for the helicopters are exposed to excessive doses of radiation and strong wind also prevents the dr. is from before me.
