well thought to rob a jacobs a research associate professor of nuclear stream carts at herat solar heat institute says a release of radiation into the atmosphere could lead to a theory of health problems worldwide. having studied the history of these incidents in the past i know that had this reactor there had been attempts to reduce the pressure inside the reactor core and to cool the reactor to avoid meltdown. to see an explosion as we saw on that building obviously indicates failure in those efforts clearly the situation in this reactor is not under control if there is an explosion of that sort that blows the building apart so it would. it's hard to say exactly what it reflects but it would certainly indicate the likelihood of a partial meltdown in the potentiality of full meltdown clearly any exposure to radiation at all is bad for the human body and bad for human health. there's been warnings already on japanese television and in the region to take really take precautions to minimize exposure to radiation and people are now being told to stay in their homes rather than to evacuate
