reactor the fukushima number one the initial reports are that the the actual reactor three itself the bessel containing the radioactive materials isn't damaged that's what he's. supposed to also. surrounding the reactor has collapsed. and the damaged we don't know how much radiation is. either but it's basically still is intact which he seems to be according to japanese media that it's not the full scale nuclear catastrophe that was. earlier today soon as it was reported on japanese radio. in the taxi i was coming back from the coast. immediately afterwards the advice was to stay inside here in sendai i don't know but i can actually hear this haneke being shown by people lining up for markets one queue we saw at the main market in the center of town with a kilometer long no exaggeration people being queuing up overnight to try and stock up on things so people are obviously concerned that potentially could spread radiation might mean half of them find or not the earthquake could leave food shortages already there are shortage in town and in whole prefecture in fact one man when we met him he

there but it's a difficult balancing act from here on because the pressure is so great inside the bessel but still very very well because the cooling system isn't functioning on as normal you know that a couple of hours ago with color flew still one hundred degrees above one hundred degrees centigrade and earth so the pressure needs to be relieved now but if they do that then really they release gases inside. the vessel into the atmosphere now they don't know they think what they released is mostly steam and a comment from the japanese. chief secretary of the cabinet said the radiation levels following the release of steam as they were expected so it seems that it's not what they've done it hasn't raised the radiation levels but they aren't you know because. they are. getting everyone in a twenty kilometer radius as you say take care itself there senator with gays towner so large of the fear take a some two hundred fifty kilometers northeast of where the explosion took place at fukushima and you see obviously we still don't really know how large the potential radiation risks are as a res

problems if there is any possibility of the pressure being lost or even worse if the question of bessel itself might happen to be breached. and these are the problems that these engineers are now trying to cope with in japan some commentators on that spec are saying it is starting to look a lot like chinalco what do you think about that i hope that we are still going to be a long way short of a trip of a chernobyl here particularly for one reason that even if there were a major release of radioactivity from one or more of the reactors the event to chernobyl was accompanied by an enormous fire which produced a huge plume of hot air carrying radioactivity right up into the stratosphere and that radioactivity was then carried all over the planet by stratospheric wince i think that i can't think of a mechanism that would distribute radioactivity on that kind of scale from anything that could possibly happen at fukushima but we have heard that they have already had some fires including a fire in a fuel pond when which the cooling apparently failed and any kind of any kind of heat source like
