he spoke to dr robert jacobs a professor at the here assume at peace institute he says japanese at first to distance the crisis at fukushima from chernobyl are desperate attempts at damage control. the. crisis is not resolved i think that because of the process of the chernobyl anniversary the japanese government has been very interested to try to position the fukushima crisis as a less intense than the trouble crisis but by this period of time the chernobyl crisis had been resolved and there was it was the cleanup of this site but the ongoing incident was result much quicker than this currently in japan and we don't really know what the end game will be we really don't know exactly how this situation will go so it's absolutely impossible to say that it's that it's less than chernobyl. no of course those who were deployed in the cleanup effort in the immediate aftermath of the term noble disaster were putting their lives on the line to prevent the tragedy from spreading even further our teeth spoke to one of them.

devastating earthquake and tsunami hit the country killing more than thirteen thousand people robert jacobs with some of this institute and its. interests rights in beit shean no one panic. the danger is extremely severe right now and one of the problems is that the level of agency theory is still uncertain and i know you still have three plans in the corps and partial meltdown you have fourth spent fuel on getting off quite a bit of radiation and at this point there is no clear path towards resolving it ending this situation so. it's really streatley dangerous because we could end up with a complete meltdown of several of the reactors or we could end up with just an ongoing release of radiation for a few months that would be good scenario at this point i think that from the start that it's going to going very close to trying to make it appear as though that since it is smaller and although. they kept the evacuation zone two smaller than that of chernobyl they tried to keep enough to lower the net of what i think that it largely to do with public perception. but ultimately because the situa
