disasters in the history

several days ago,
44
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,680

in the Soviet Union

92
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:24,840
We have agreed to a joint Soviet
American effort in this regard.
93
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,720
Until the accident there were 50
nuclear reactors operating in
94
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:30,000

that nations electricity.
95

the Soviet Union generating 11% of

96
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:34,040
Most of the larger Soviet plants
differ in design to US reactors,
97
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,960
the major difference is most Soviet
nuclear plants do not have
98
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,240
containment buildings,
the thick concrete dome structures
99
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:45,160

If as seems to be the case
there was no containment
105
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,200
If as seems to be the case
there was no containment
106
00:51:55,240 --> 00:51:57,640
around the reactor as is
the general-
107
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,080
Can we be sure of that? What do you-
I do not, I do not know.
108
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,000
Do you think there's
a containment building?
109
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,560
I don't think that there is a
containment building because
110
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:09,600
the policy of Soviet atomic er,
constructors was that
111
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:10,000
the reactor's absolutely safe and so
there is no need to have
112
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,720
the reactor's absolutely safe and so
there is no need to have
113
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,080
this kind of precaution because it
indicate possibility of disaster
114
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:18,000
which Russian always can, considered
er, absolutely impossible.
115
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,160
which Russian always can, considered
er, absolutely impossible.
116
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,760
So going to be clear about this,
you're, you're going as far
117
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,000
as to say you think it almost
certain or just probable
118
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,440
as to say you think it almost
certain or just probable
119
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,960
there was no protective shield
around this reactor
120
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:32,640
which appears to have melted down?
121
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,000
No I think that there is no
protection, protection shield
122
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:35,520
No I think that there is no
protection, protection shield
123
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:39,280
around this reactor's certainly
the case because the building
124
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:41,160
as such indicate
that there is no shield.
125
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:42,000
Walter Pattison, if that is so
what is the danger to life?
126
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,600
Walter Pattison, if that is so
what is the danger to life?
127
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:48,240
Well obviously if radioactivity got
as far as Scandinavia how long,
128
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,000
however long it took to get there,
a great deal must have escaped
129
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,520
however long it took to get there,
a great deal must have escaped
130
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,160
close to the site.
131
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,800
What has been remarkable is how much
the Soviet people
132
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,840
in spite of all the evidence
still seem to be believing
133
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:34,000
the fairy stories the government is
still telling them.

the fairy stories the government is

135
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,440
It could be argued Martin that only
the Soviet Union could have
136
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:42,000
kept a lid on what might have been
a situation of public panic,
137
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,960

a situation of public panic,
138
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,400
only a totalitarian state
could have got away with it.
139
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,000
I'm not sure they have
got away with it.
