that's up to nisa to make the decision. nisa says the stress test confirms the ohi plant will not cause meltdown even if it's hit by earthquakes and tsunamis as large as the ones that crippled fukushima daiichi nuclear power plants. experts have conflicting views on that. >> translator: we found the risks facing reactors have been reduced to an acceptable level thanks to the stress tests. now it's up to the politicians to reach a decision by comparing the risk of operating the reactors with the risk of keeping them offline. >> translator: my concern is we can't be certain other plants are safe from tsunami higher than the ones that swamped fukushima daiichi. the results of the stress tests are only the beginnings of discussions about safety. >> local authorities are concerned that stress tests, alone, are not enough to restart reactors. according to an nhk survey this month, when local authorities were asked about the precondition for restarting reactors, 66% said local approval. and 48% said the verification of the fukushi

nisa announced it will use a new yardstick for the design of nuclear power plants. new criteria will include the pressure exerted by a tsunami and the areas it is likely to reach. experts discussed the use of these criteria to check the resilience of safety equipment. they will also examine how frequently large scale tsunami occur. >>> workers at fukushima daiichi are trying to prepare the facility for the four decade long decommissioning process. but they're facing an extensive to do list. one of the most pressing problems, stopping radioactive water from seeping out of reactors. before they can do that, though, they need to track down the source of the leaks. tokyo electric power company engineers sent a robot inside the suppression chamber of one of the reactors in april for first time. that's an area located at the bottom of the containment vessel. the robot had five cameras and a dosimeter t traveled around much of the suppression chamber, which is 125 meters in circumference. earlier nhk world told us about the results of the inspection. >> translator: the mai

nisa officials outlined 30 steps following last year's accident at fukushima daiichi. the measures are designed to address factors that caused the meltdown and massive radioactive leaks at the nuclear plant. some of the steps call for operators to secure multiple emergency power sources, protect facilities from tsunami and install electrical equipment in different locations. other measures include storing long-lasting emergency batteries on site and setting up headquarters that are quake resistant and shielded from radiation. nuclear power used to provide japan with a third of its electricity. by next month that fraction could dwindle to zero. before the fukushima accident, 37 of the country's 54 nuclear reactors were running. but since then none of the reactors that's gone offline for regular maintenance has restarted. the last working reactor will be shut down by early may. the unit is on the northern island of hokkaido. nuclear authorities began to run the stress tests on reactors following the fukushima crisis. these safety tests forecast how reactors could withsta

around fifty billion dollars worth of oil china also has territorial disputes in the area with in the nisa taiwan and vietnam. so are the military drills a sign of what's to come and will they be a step toward pushing china to a breaking point to discuss this earlier i spoke to dr paul card roberts former reagan administration official i asked him if there is more to this than just drills here's what he had to say of course there is. the military security complex is putting in motion another conflict they need a conflict to replace the the war on terror. the war on terror you know it's been going on now for ten eleven years and it's proved to be an embarrassment the problem with the war on terror is that the mighty military of the americans should be our. defeat and if you ragtag insurgent. so in order to keep the war going with iraq is they did for seven eight years and now in afghanistan for ten or eleven years it's sort of embarrassing i mean they don't really want the war to end they're not trying to win they're just trying to spend money so the profits flow into the military security
