box is open. radioactive material and it could cause severe burns. it it could contaminate the people. they could potentially die. what is the radius the area in which it could effect if that was opened even accidentally by someone if they see radioactive material inside. if they open something like that, how far could it spread? it would only be within the immediate area. the people that would be foolish enough to open it it would die most probably. right. unless they got treatment. this material is dangerous. it s very dangerous potentially. it s used in the radio radiography industry for welding. it s of absolutely no use to an ordinary chief. i mean, authorities here have said that opportunists. but if they do open it, they are going to need medical treatment or they would suffer from radiation burns and radiation sickness both of which are potentially fatal. far more serious in december of 2013 when thieves stole a medical equipment being
looks. all day long the dow headed south until it finally closed down an ugly 266 points. on wall street, 4:00 couldn t come fast enough. we ve had eight straight days of losses, the first time that happened since the global financial meltdown? 2008. it is a scary picture, and we re going to walk you through it all in just a moment. but first a look at the other stories we re drilling down on tonight. it s ramadan in syria. instead of peace, more bloodshed. graphic new images of bodies dumb it ped like garbage as the death toll rises. can the world look the other way? and japan s endless disaster. radiation levels at their highest since the earthquake and tsunami in march. you won t believe what they re testing now. then with grim news on wall street, everybody is talking about transparency. but these folks did something about it, striptease for social protest. the bears rule in more ways than one. now back to the batd news on wall street. we finally get a debt deal
nas. talking $12 billion in cuts for a week while fully funding the department of defense. not likely to go anywhere. it s a chicken. as of yet, no one blinked. thanks so much. workers at the crippled fukushima power plant finally stopped the leak of radioactive water into the pacific ocean, but no sell bragtss under way yet. workers grappling with radiation burns and the prospect of more ruptures as they try to keep nuclear fuel from overheating. nbc s charles sad loclock joins live. how vulnerable is the plant to more ruptures s fukushima? reporter: still ahave vulnerable situation. they ve been able to stop the leaks they know about. the good news. no one here is ready to celebrate because there s so much more wrong with this nuclear plant.
because the fukushima 60, the restoration crew struck to get inside. two workers received radiation burns yesterday. we saw them taken away and cover in a big blue tarp. so much radiation it could be fatal. dominic, thank you. u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon says he is up ports reassessment of the nuclear response to the incident and review of the international nuclear safety measures as the european union leaders called for stress testing of the plant to put 143 reactors through the toughest security checks possible. president obama plans to address the nation monday night. before that, the fox all-stars discuss the administration policy in libya
to an anonymous senior nuclear executive that the paper described as having broad contacts in japan. the executive says there is a long vertical crack running down the side of the reactor vessel itself. the severity of the radiation burns to the injured workers are consistent with contamination by water that had been in contact with damaged fuel rods. quoting the executive directly, quote, there is a definite, definite crack in the vessel. it s up and down and it s large. the problem with cracks is that they do not get smaller. how important is that if it s true? and do the injuries to those heroic workers at daiichi imply that it is true? and does the fact that this is one reactor that includes plutonium in the fuel mix make this a worse situation than would be true if it happened at the other reactors? today japanese authorities tried to bring down worries by saying the reactors were stable. they expanded evacuation advice.
