Part 1: "Nightline" was given rare access to Japan's shuttered power plant and surrounding areas. Part 2: Radiation experts test Pacific Ocean waters surrounding the plant for signs of unsafe levels.
She has no clue what she is talking about.. " even inside a damaged reactor "... good god no, you are going inside the secondary containment building, not the reactor...
exactly. they tell this is fukushima dai-ichi, but if you look closely, there is a sign above that water, that informs it's "hita-ichi" so yea, basically fake
@@mordkopotam Actully the building of reactor 4 that they went in blew open so they had to rebuild the building, also its probably just the name of the crane for the fuel transport.
I love to learn about nuclear science, the technology, the benefits, the risks and the history so I was excited to see "Inside Fukushima: Beyond the 'No Go' Zone" come up in recommendations. That is until I saw it was American "ABC News". Get ready for exaggeration, drama, emotional drivel...with very little education value or science.
@Joey A -- You're not getting it, are you? It's the fact that you should feel and appreciate what you see for what it is. Not to force you into it. If something is worth appreciating, it's worth appreciating without post-processing effects. Your answer tells me you can't appreciate something by yourself but instead you need to be spoon-fed with superficiality. Great job. Hope you're proud of yourself.
I was one of the people at Fukushima at the time I was 6 my mom wasn’t home neither my dad they got killed they worked there it was only me and my older brother who was 13 when we got out of the house all I saw was people running from there homes and then the earthquake happened we hideded under tables we were about 6 miles away from the power plant and then that happed the thing that killed my parents sided and other family members and also 1000 or more people died after 2 days I got ptsd and I was so scared of going outside that I didn’t go anywhere or eat for 6 days after I wasn’t afraid of coming outside because I missed my brother so 6 years later me and my brother made a tradition every year we pray and celebrate what our parents have done to us and me and my brother made a vow we never leave each other even if it involves death.
She said the elementary school was having its graduation day then immediately walks through a classroom and says probably in the middle of class. Umm what?
@Anakin12 I don't think it's that, more so that different news firms go for different styles, and this is one. Other places have journalism organizations that do work just like this one, so lack of serious attitude is kind of out of the theory..
As I said, "Other places have journalism organizations that do work just like this one," I guess how some news organizations work, even ones all across the globe, represent the culture, nature, aptitude and intelligence of a continent? If you go about judging continents this way, then everyone is, "uncultured, childish, ignorant and rather idiotic." Unless you meant the United States of America if you are not trying to bottle up the whole continent which many people end up indirectly doing because of ignorance.
Hey, Watch these clips from the real Japanese people. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hwn1PU6GiPQ.html This shows the real voice of farmers in Fukushima. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NHtbi1Q4aZ8.html This shows the real voice of Japanese journalists. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z4RKKjhO5rA.html This is testimony of a local mayor in the Futaba town. Hope you judge with the eyes of truth.
i dont know why they even build a nuclear power plant directly infront of the sea of course you can pump water much more easier and faster but everyone in Japan or in the world knows how strong the storms are in Japan and also dont forget the monster waves i really do not understand
@@alejandrososa3472 its exactly that reasion, if they just pumped water there from afar,they would be risking a meltdown. the best chance they have at preventing a meltdown is by buliding near water. but if ya ask me,just having nucler powerplants is a bad idea

If they had built it near the city and a earthquake happened it would've been way worse
GE actually warned them that the emergency generators weren't placed on a good spot and they ignored it. But why didn't they make a higher tsunami wall.
It's amazing how poorly full scale media productions hold up against user content. There's so much more flash and breathless drama than actual content.
+brokassqcislander Don't mistake me for pro-nuke, I'm not, but I DO like truth. External Alpha radiation is stopped by almost anything, even a metre or two of air. A decent piece of paper stops it in it's tracks. Internal, though, and it will be one of your cells that stops it, possibly leading to fatal cancer, or worse. And yes, there are worse things, unless you are all finished with having children. At the other end of the scale are things that might pass right through the Earth. Also what Hadron89 sais.
it protects from getting the radioactive dust on you, or in your lungs. if you actually inhale, it's gonna be really difficult (aka impossible) to get it out
I think if there's any nation, that's capable to handle the containment in the best manner possible, it's absolutely Japanese. They're perfectionists, precise about everything. Of course there has been a leak into the sea within the first hours, days, before they got it contained. But you can tell from the video how they are tidious about everything, even checking every batch of fish, by uniformed officer.
The stupidity was too small seawall and backup generators below tsunami flood levels. Designers stupidity. Also storing spent rods above reactors. Stuuuupid.
What I don't understand is if these nuclear power plants are so incredibly dangerous, not to mention the waste it leaves behind even from normal operating plants, why are we not focusing on alternative power sources?
because the nuclear activists need money. If you look into Nikola Telsa, he wanted to create free energy for everyone, but the money hungry activists didn't like that. Nikola Telsa is the rightful ingenious of power that Thomas Edison should be put in jail for taking all of his fame. Good people never win.
The camera guy did an amazing job, he gave hints of a first person perspective with the mask over the camera and showing him taking his covers on his shoes off.
Double thumbs up to the beautiful Cecilia Vega and team. She and team should be awarded an Emmy for this mission. Keep up your hard work. Great regards.
I live on vancouver island a local scallop farm has lost 95% of its scallops, due to a spike in ph. in our local waters. this is going to effect much much more than just an increased level of radiation there are going to be major changes in our ocean that are going to happen to fast for marine life to adapt.
Can somebody tell me what the suits are actually for? Afaik they won't help with radiation but they'll help with protection against radioactive particles getting on the skin and in the lungs, right?
Back when I was a member of the John Birch Society they had a special meeting with a man that promoted Nuclear Power and he said its no problem. Even promoted the idea of swiming in the holding pond.
I think it’s because since a radioactive fragment or particle from the air or the environment could land on you, the friskers they use detect even the smallest amount in a centralized part of your body. So they have to get up close since you may not even see it.
Lesson 2 on nuclear reactors, don't put diesel generators used in the event of power failure and cold shutdown water circulation pump power at emergency times at ground level right next to the sea, up on the roof or big hill much better, the plant would still be ok if it were not for these generators litterally flooding when the Tsunami struck.
They shut down any farms affected long ago and in the area surrounding the disaster zone the streets and trees have been cleaned and contaminated topsoil has been collected for safe storage. Any news on the notion that the Olympics, its foreign visitors, and athletes are at risk of health risks is simply poor journalism and fuel for the continuous societal fear-mongering. Many US media companies have financial ties to coal, oil and gas giants.
Funnyskilletgirl777 thanks BS is what i'm talking `bout, i was hoping you knew nuke power wasn't safe! where do you find a never ending source of energy?you said it already it is in are shit, Bull shit or human shit it don't matter, enuff never ending power to be had in are shit! it's to easy and to simple for us to do for some reason? butT BS is the correct safe"R" way for free, cleaner energy!no LOL
I say no electric grid at all, if you cant power it with some solar panels on your home, you don't need it. We were fine over 100 years ago when we didn't have electricity. JMO
Why is everyone complaining? It was a good documental. I enjoy it and I admired her and the team for being so brave, I wouldn’t visit that place even if they pay me a huge amount of $
They seem to be suffering from similar problems that the Chernobyl liquidation squads ran into with regards to water contamination and lack of transparency. They had pieces of the core in the surrounding water. They drained the area and removed the material at the bottom. The pieces in the ocean are obviously problematic. Japan is an advanced society but it doesn’t want to panic people. The lesson that’s missing is that an informed public is a safer people. The backlash from information suppression is bad for everyone.
"It's not open to the public"......so unlike all the other nuclear power stations in the world, where you can just wander in off the street....goodness me, US TV news talks to their audience like they are children.
The radiation detector is going off because the Gamma Radiation emitted from some of the radioactive particles is penetrating the protective plastic. Gamma rays can pass through almost anything as the object is not too thick, and also they spread out as you go further away from the gamma source.
1:47 ....inside the damaged reactor - there are no damaged reactors - they are DESTROYED. Nice try... 3:25 ....thousands of bags........actually there are tens of millions (could be as high as 31 million). Nice try.... 4:04 .....looking for contamination with a Geiger counter. Many isotopes can't be detected and each Geiger counter is only "sniffing" one isotope. In addition they do not detect internal radiation, so if you breath it in or swallow it, the thing is useless 7:20 ....1500 fuel rods. No, it is actually 1500 assemblies containing on average around 70 fuel rods each. Nice try.... In addition, building 4 got completely destroyed and dismantled - how can one be in such a building?
They cannot afford it....for the love of cross, did you see how it was non-educational. They cant even afford to educate themselves before they send this journalist with no clue what she is talking about.
