buildings. that steam has come from the reactor itself. we have some indication in the unit two reactor that there may have been some degree of fuel overheating and some form of fuel melting. whether or not that plutonium may have come from the spent fuel pool in unit three or some of the other reactors or as a result of the containment venting that has been going on over the days. it is difficult to tell. at the end of thematter where i coming from. it needs to be taken care of. talk about the radioactive water we have been seeing. where do you put that water? well, you know, from other issues that have occurred at nuclear power plants around the world, there are a number of ways of handling this. it is not uncommon to bring in temporary storage tanks that you can pump the water into.
dismiss at all for anywhere a near moment we had three nuclear power reactors whose core failed. and during a containment venting, we discharged high levels of radioactivity across the countryside in northern japan and out over the ocean, over the northern pacific. we certainly don t want to sweep that under the rug. but i think, though in terms of the relative scale, again, i think we re bound on either end by both the three-mile scenario and the chernobyl. and we re sort of parsing it a bit finely here but i don t think that we have the level of detail to parse it like that. michael friedlander, thank you. about that fire and reactor four. all right when we come back, lifting the veil in france. from covering their faces in public is now in effect. transitions adapt to changing light
