to fukushima daiichi you know what. they have the same design. new the same reactor same contractors worked on them and the same flaws and weaknesses. the containment structure designed to hold in all the radioactivity after an accident is too small by $986.00 the nuclear regulatory commission had determined there were 85 percent probability that the containment would blow up and fail in the event of a meltdown. or so much hydrogen gas would be released that the containment would be blown to smithereens all of the radioactivity inside it would be released to the public. show decided to percent 3 of. the regulators have known that this design isn't capable of withstanding an accident since it was built . during the middle of the crisis and who push him into each one of the key regulators at the n.r.c. a guy named chuck casto said this is the worst containment in the world. well if it's. worst containment in the world why are we keeping 23 of them running here in america. the actual human daiichi was caused by an earthquake and the tsunami. but rea

of fish stocks that fishing community fukushima daiichi. relies upon is not contaminated so they complaints and worries understandably for the fishing community around the power plant are much to do with the perception and they are telling the japanese government to do more on the perception and. as your guest from the netherlands says if it's possible for all of the tokyo electric power company to take. before things are going to be settled they could do that but they have already built $1000.00 nearly $1000.00. and on site in the plant there is a very little room physically left them to continue to build tonks and i think 2021 i think next year is going to be the limit which is why the sense of urgency have kicked in yet have a come what's your reaction. well that is exactly what we're talking about 1st of all the designs and i just want to make one remark about the signs here. there is no guarantee about the amount of radioactive substances that are still remaining in the 1200000 tons that tepco wants to emit into the ocean they also are
