One week after damaged nuclear reactors began leaking radiation, workers at Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant have connected a power cable needed to restart the cooling systems. Bill Whitaker reports.

  • @weenylv no japan population is going down projections by alot

  • problem with too fast growing population? Wait for an earthquake! Prolem pupulation?

  • Lucky`s, non 1st comment !

    Earthquake, thank you ?

  • The black guy blinks alot

  • they can do it

  • @starmanskye

    That would have required a huge announcement to the public about the dire straits they were in, THAT, they did not want to do. The rest perhaps can be chalked up to denial, and corporate greed. What a shame.

  • @TheSnowmanagable Nah, ain't gonna be no "lots of people". That will only result in lots more corpses. I just watched a vid on the hasty repairs at Chernobyl, (it's very good if you want to watch it) they built a "temporary" covering that is still leaking 25 years later. CBS news people were there 3 weeks ago and said they were getting a dose 9 times higher than in Washington DC. I read that if you stand looking in the spent fuel rod pool without water, it will kill you in 10 minutes.

    Oh I'm not saying its going to be easy, in fact, just the opposite. I'm saying this is an engineering and architectural nightmare like we've never seen. Make no mistake, eventually, lots of people have to go in there and button it up, radiation or not.

  • I simply cannot believe that big portable generators from the military or construction industry couldn't have been brought in on an expedited emergency basis in a couple days. That would not have interfered with all necessary haste to reconnect the complex with Japan's power grid. There should also have been a major drive to solicit qualified volunteers from all phases of building, rigging, salvage, electrical, hvy equip, technical & engineering trades, rotated to minimize dangerous exposure.

  • @redbluddeath Cucu cucu!!!
