It was in feet. 75 00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:35,323 I left of the building 76 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,618 and I looked let the tsunami come. 77 00:18:40,536 --> 00:18:43,497 The water rose higher and higher when he passed over the pier. 78 00:18:47,752 --> 00:18:49,754 You'd think it was loud but it is not. 79 00:18:51,047 --> 00:18:52,465 It just started making noise 80 00:18:52,590 --> 00:18:54,425 when it started break and crack, 81 00:18:54,550 --> 00:18:56,510 and break things when it made landfall. 82 00:19:12,943 --> 00:19:14,070 I didn't think about the plants. 83 00:19:14,153 --> 00:19:15,446 until I saw him run around them. 84 00:19:15,613 --> 00:19:17,948 I saw him just rush around the four buildings, 85 00:19:18,074 --> 00:19:19,659 from the highlands behind me, 86 00:19:19,784 --> 00:19:21,702 like these big blacks ominous clouds 87 00:19:21,786 --> 00:19:23,913 It came rolling very low. 88 00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:26,290 I almost felt like I was pulling the atmosphere falls on us, 89 00:19:26,415 --> 00:19:27,958 and it even started to snow. 90 00:19:34,131 --> 00:19:37,134 It felt like the end of the world 91 00:21:26,368 --> 00:21:28,788 one of the most powerful earthquakes 92 00:21:28,913 --> 00:21:30,664 ever recorded has hit Japan. 93 00:21:30,748 --> 00:21:33,459 The terrible devastation in northeastern Japan. 94 00:21:33,584 --> 00:21:36,504 The destruction there, simply epic. 95 00:21:36,587 --> 00:21:39,757 The death toll increases, The exact numbers are unknown. 96 00:21:39,882 --> 00:21:42,009 Local television has shown shocking images 97 00:21:42,092 --> 00:21:44,595 of entire cities razed 98 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,972 through a wall of water kilometers wide 99 00:21:47,097 --> 00:21:48,516 while people run for their lives. 100 00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:50,559 Fears that the eventual toll 101 00:21:50,643 --> 00:21:52,269 could be in tens of thousands. 102 00:21:52,394 --> 00:21:53,646 Tsunami waves 103 00:21:53,771 --> 00:21:55,314 What followed moved very quickly, 104 00:21:55,439 --> 00:21:57,817 at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour, 105 00:21:57,942 --> 00:22:00,152 which proved to be an unstoppable 106 00:22:00,277 --> 00:22:01,529 and devastating force. 107 00:22:02,613 --> 00:22:03,823 I was working as a journalist 108 00:22:03,948 --> 00:22:04,949 for the New York Times. 109 00:22:05,658 --> 00:22:07,326 It was based in Tokyo 110 00:22:07,451 --> 00:22:09,453 where he had been living for eight years. 111 00:22:10,246 --> 00:22:11,914 After the earthquake, 112 00:22:11,997 --> 00:22:14,542 we had decided to head north 113 00:22:14,625 --> 00:22:18,212 to where the tsunami caused greater damage. 114 00:22:20,965 --> 00:22:22,800 It was like entering hell. 115 00:22:28,848 --> 00:22:31,642 The tsunami it had basically started 116 00:22:32,518 --> 00:22:35,354 everything that was there. 117 00:22:35,479 --> 00:22:36,856 So if you can imagine it 118 00:22:37,314 --> 00:22:38,941 like a... a field, 119 00:22:39,024 --> 00:22:40,484 like a plane, 120 00:22:41,527 --> 00:22:43,487 eh, from the surface of the moon 121 00:22:44,154 --> 00:22:48,075 Dark gray clay covering everything. 122 00:22:48,158 --> 00:22:51,620 An occasional piece of a house or building, 123 00:22:51,704 --> 00:22:53,497 or even an occasional home 124 00:22:53,622 --> 00:22:55,666 that somehow survived by chance. 125 00:22:56,458 --> 00:22:58,586 Uh, big puddles of water, 126 00:22:59,336 --> 00:23:00,671 things were on fire, 127 00:23:01,338 --> 00:23:03,674 and mounds of rubble. 128 00:23:04,174 --> 00:23:05,759 You know, pieces of buildings, 129 00:23:05,843 --> 00:23:07,344 and fishing boats, 130 00:23:07,469 --> 00:23:10,097 And crushed buses, and destroyed cars. 131 00:23:11,223 --> 00:23:13,017 Uh, there were dead animals, 132 00:23:13,142 --> 00:23:16,103 dead pets, and of course, dead people. 133 00:23:18,564 --> 00:23:20,441 Nobody survives that tsunami. 134 00:23:20,524 --> 00:23:22,943 Or you get out of the way or you are dead. 135 00:24:30,552 --> 00:24:33,889 Kan and the Democratic Party of Japan 136 00:24:34,431 --> 00:24:36,600 they were very inexperienced government. 137 00:24:37,142 --> 00:24:40,354 This was his first time in office since 1955. 138 00:24:42,439 --> 00:24:43,816 And now they had to deal with 139 00:24:43,941 --> 00:24:46,819 an extremely challenging set of the circumstances. 140 00:24:48,070 --> 00:24:49,738 The country It was in complete chaos. 141 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,075 Thousands of people are missing, 142 00:24:53,158 --> 00:24:55,119 and they have this developing situation 143 00:24:55,244 --> 00:24:57,413 in Fukushima that had the potential 144 00:24:57,496 --> 00:25:00,124 be many, many times worse than Chernobyl. 145 00:25:01,250 --> 00:25:03,502 That disaster involved a reactor. 146 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,880 Fukushima involved six. 147 00:25:09,758 --> 00:25:11,051 Japan now tells it 148 00:25:11,135 --> 00:25:13,554 the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, 149 00:25:13,637 --> 00:25:15,639 that they have a greater state of alert 150 00:25:15,764 --> 00:25:18,142 which has been declared in its nuclear power plant. 151 00:25:18,267 --> 00:25:21,395 This is Fukushima, uh, nuclear power plant. 152 00:25:21,478 --> 00:25:23,230 Radiation levels have increased 153 00:25:23,313 --> 00:25:25,315 according to Kyodo news agency 154 00:25:25,441 --> 00:25:27,067 eight times the normal level 155 00:25:27,151 --> 00:25:29,695 at a monitoring station outside the plant, 156 00:25:29,820 --> 00:25:32,281 1,000 times above normal 157 00:25:32,364 --> 00:25:34,867 in a control room inside the plant. 158 00:25:39,204 --> 00:25:40,748 The worst case scenario 159 00:25:40,831 --> 00:25:43,625 it would be a catastrophic collapse of the reactors 160 00:25:43,709 --> 00:25:45,335 called China syndrome. 161 00:25:49,381 --> 00:25:53,469 And what that refers to is the... something like 100 tons 162 00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:56,513 uranium fuel It's inside the reactor. 163 00:25:58,515 --> 00:26:00,184 It melts out of control. 164 00:26:00,642 --> 00:26:02,436 It melts, which means it collapses 165 00:26:02,519 --> 00:26:03,937 at the bottom of the container, 166 00:26:04,021 --> 00:26:07,399 like... just a lump almost like lava. 167 00:26:08,984 --> 00:26:10,527 If you can't cool it down, 168 00:26:10,652 --> 00:26:12,905 they cannot because there is no electricity 169 00:26:13,030 --> 00:26:15,032 to pump water to the reactor, 170 00:26:15,532 --> 00:26:17,201 rises to a temperature 171 00:26:17,326 --> 00:26:19,078 of something like 2,000 degrees. 172 00:26:19,203 --> 00:26:21,246 It burns through the container itself. 173 00:26:23,082 --> 00:26:26,001 It will melt through the container, fall into the building, 174 00:26:26,085 --> 00:26:28,253 almost as if it had broken through through concrete 175 00:26:28,378 --> 00:26:29,671 because of the heat, 176 00:26:29,755 --> 00:26:33,050 escapes to earth and it's out of control. 177 00:26:34,927 --> 00:26:36,720 And if that happened, 178 00:26:36,845 --> 00:26:39,973 The experts spoke about the loss. from northern Japan. 179 00:26:42,392 --> 00:26:45,896 The entire northern half Honshu becomes uninhabitable 180 00:26:46,021 --> 00:26:47,981 yes this thing it gets out of control. 181 00:27:54,631 --> 00:27:58,302 I saw four guys from TEPCO 182 00:27:59,011 --> 00:28:00,387 pulling a truck or something like that, 183 00:28:00,470 --> 00:28:02,639 and they came out, and they all walked towards me 184 00:28:02,764 --> 00:28:04,725 because he was right at the top of the stairs. 185 00:28:05,184 --> 00:28:06,768 And they all went down those stairs, 186 00:28:06,852 --> 00:28:08,812 all of them were with their TEPCO uniforms, 187 00:28:08,937 --> 00:28:11,148 and they were all About 35 years, I would say. 188 00:28:11,273 --> 00:28:13,567 Everyone was like, around 30 years old. 189 00:28:14,318 --> 00:28:16,570 We all made eye contact. as they passed. 190 00:28:16,653 --> 00:28:18,322 They went down those stairs, 191 00:28:18,447 --> 00:28:19,573 and they were probably part 192 00:28:19,656 --> 00:28:21,617 of the operations group or whatever. 193 00:28:21,700 --> 00:28:24,077 And I remember those four guys going down, 194 00:28:24,161 --> 00:28:28,582 probably had to stay and work through that mess they had. 195 00:28:28,665 --> 00:28:31,501 When we part and I climbed that hill, 196 00:28:32,502 --> 00:28:33,962 uh, to get to my rental car, 197 00:28:34,046 --> 00:28:36,298 you know, i didn't know they were going to head 198 00:28:36,381 --> 00:28:38,175 for a crisis in less than 24 hours. 199 00:28:38,300 --> 00:28:39,885 I didn't know it at the time 200 00:28:40,010 --> 00:28:41,553 how bad things were going to get. 201 00:31:03,820 --> 00:31:06,490 This could be a catastrophe in the making, 202 00:31:06,615 --> 00:31:09,159 Japan's nuclear power plants. 203 00:31:09,284 --> 00:31:11,620 Authorities say cooling systems 204 00:31:11,703 --> 00:31:14,039 some reactors have failed 205 00:31:14,164 --> 00:31:16,833 and some radiation has leaked. 206 00:31:17,334 --> 00:31:20,837 The next 24 hours are considered crucial. 207 00:31:21,505 --> 00:31:22,589 What is destined to happen? 208 00:31:22,672 --> 00:31:25,258 inside a nuclear The power plant is this. 209 00:31:25,342 --> 00:31:28,053 In the reactor, nuclear fuel rods 210 00:31:28,178 --> 00:31:29,721 go through the fission process. 211 00:31:29,846 --> 00:31:32,391 atoms split and releasing energy. 212 00:31:32,849 --> 00:31:36,019 Water is pumped and flows around the fuel 213 00:31:36,144 --> 00:31:38,313 where it gets hot and turns into steam. 214 00:31:38,397 --> 00:31:41,733 That powers the generators. to produce electricity. 215 00:31:41,858 --> 00:31:45,278 But if a reactor runs dry, like one did today, 216 00:31:45,362 --> 00:31:47,864 fuel rods overheat and melt. 217 00:31:47,989 --> 00:31:51,326 And that may have started in three reactors. 218 00:31:51,410 --> 00:31:54,413 The nuclear fuel could then sink at the bottom of the reactor, 219 00:31:54,538 --> 00:31:56,832 the beginning of what is known as a crisis. 220 00:31:56,915 --> 00:32:00,836 But as long as the steel wall of the container does its job, 221 00:32:00,919 --> 00:32:03,422 there shouldn't be a leak. 222 00:32:03,547 --> 00:32:05,590 This was my first experience 223 00:32:05,715 --> 00:32:07,926 of a serious accident of this type. 224 00:32:08,885 --> 00:32:10,679 I wouldn't hide anything. 225 00:32:10,762 --> 00:32:12,389 But as Prime Minister, 226 00:32:12,514 --> 00:32:16,476 I wouldn't say anything either I can't be sure of that. 227 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,103 That was my policy. 228 00:32:19,062 --> 00:32:22,232 I told the special advisor I would go to Fukushima. 229 00:32:22,732 --> 00:32:24,568 "Please make preparations." 230 00:32:35,078 --> 00:32:36,955 They joined me by the president 231 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,249 of nuclear energy Security Commission. 232 00:32:39,749 --> 00:32:42,502 I clearly remember asking, 233 00:32:42,586 --> 00:32:45,046 "Is there any danger? of an explosion?" 234 00:32:45,130 --> 00:32:48,425 To which the President He responded with conviction, 235 00:32:48,550 --> 00:32:51,428 "An explosion has occurred of the question." 236 00:36:59,884 --> 00:37:02,262 We arrive in a war zone. 237 00:37:02,345 --> 00:37:04,431 The hallway It was full of workers, 238 00:37:04,514 --> 00:37:07,350 several of which They were lying on the ground. 239 00:37:07,475 --> 00:37:09,853 Some were wrapped in blankets. 240 00:37:10,353 --> 00:37:13,148 In the conference room, They explained, 241 00:37:13,231 --> 00:37:16,609 "We are considering if you want to ventilate manually. 242 00:37:16,693 --> 00:37:18,987 We will decide in the next hour." 243 00:37:19,487 --> 00:37:22,615 I said, "We couldn't wait that long." 244 00:37:22,699 --> 00:37:24,451 To which they responded: 245 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,079 "We will create a suicide squad." 246 00:38:30,934 --> 00:38:32,477 This nuclear accident 247 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,272 placed existence itself of our country in danger. 248 00:38:36,397 --> 00:38:38,691 Our ability to evade a crisis 249 00:38:38,775 --> 00:38:41,986 depended on ventilation these reactors. 250 00:43:26,395 --> 00:43:29,315 When I saw the explosion on television, 251 00:43:29,398 --> 00:43:32,443 it was more than an hour after it happened. 252 00:43:32,568 --> 00:43:35,154 And he had not received a few words from TEPCO. 253 00:43:36,364 --> 00:43:38,908 I ordered my executive secretary, 254 00:43:39,033 --> 00:43:40,952 "Get me some information quickly." 255 00:43:41,452 --> 00:43:44,038 Everyone in the country, in the world, 256 00:43:44,122 --> 00:43:45,581 I knew about the explosion, 257 00:43:45,706 --> 00:43:49,502 but we had no information or explanation. 258 00:43:50,211 --> 00:43:51,671 The explosion was seen 259 00:43:51,754 --> 00:43:53,422 and heard from miles away. 260 00:43:53,548 --> 00:43:58,261 Reactor 1 at Fukushima in Japan Nuclear power plant explodes 261 00:43:58,386 --> 00:44:01,973 sending radioactive gas vomiting towards the sky. 262 00:44:42,638 --> 00:44:47,560 People talk about 2011. like a triple disaster. 263 00:44:48,186 --> 00:44:49,770 But it really was two separate things. 264 00:44:49,854 --> 00:44:52,398 There was the tsunami and the earthquake 265 00:44:52,481 --> 00:44:56,152 that were an act of nature that killed tens of thousands. 266 00:44:57,653 --> 00:44:59,488 Then there was the nuclear accident 267 00:45:00,323 --> 00:45:02,909 which was actually something completely different. 268 00:45:03,659 --> 00:45:07,496 The nuclear accident was a totally man-made disaster. 269 00:45:08,456 --> 00:45:10,333 When we start investigating it, 270 00:45:10,458 --> 00:45:12,084 even in those early days, 271 00:45:12,168 --> 00:45:14,337 TEPCO was making mistakes. 272 00:45:16,672 --> 00:45:17,965 Now, there was a big gap 273 00:45:18,049 --> 00:45:21,719 between the plant and headquarters in Tokyo. 274 00:45:22,345 --> 00:45:23,930 The plant repeatedly asked: 275 00:45:24,013 --> 00:45:25,348 "Could you send me batteries? 276 00:45:25,473 --> 00:45:27,767 so we can restart our cooling systems?" 277 00:45:27,850 --> 00:45:31,270 Uh, “Can you send generators? in trucks?" 278 00:45:33,189 --> 00:45:35,942 But TEPCO's management I was in such chaos 279 00:45:36,025 --> 00:45:39,111 they just kept sending the wrong items. 280 00:45:39,195 --> 00:45:41,239 It's like batteries of the wrong size. 281 00:45:41,322 --> 00:45:45,576 Or are they things you don't need, you know. It-it... 282 00:45:45,660 --> 00:45:49,247 There is...

They are known like the Fukushima Fifty, 494 01:02:34,376 --> 01:02:36,211 but there was actually 69 of them. 495 01:02:36,336 --> 01:02:39,172 They were staying so that the others could leave. 496 01:02:39,256 --> 01:02:41,883 Uh, and... they were left knowing 497 01:02:42,008 --> 01:02:43,718 so that they do not return. 498 01:06:57,180 --> 01:06:58,681 Japanese engineers 499 01:06:58,806 --> 01:07:01,100 gathered everyone your remaining tools today 500 01:07:01,184 --> 01:07:02,560 in a week's fight 501 01:07:02,644 --> 01:07:05,146 to prevent a full-blown nuclear disaster. 502 01:07:06,105 --> 01:07:07,482 Filmed yesterday 503 01:07:07,607 --> 01:07:09,150 from a military helicopter, 504 01:07:09,275 --> 01:07:12,070 this shaky footage It's the best image we have so far 505 01:07:12,153 --> 01:07:14,572 of the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant. 506 01:07:14,656 --> 01:07:16,574 No workers can be seen outside. 507 01:07:16,658 --> 01:07:18,826 With radiation at such high levels, 508 01:07:18,952 --> 01:07:20,995 It's simply too dangerous. 509 01:07:21,454 --> 01:07:23,581 The dense vapor it is believed to be increasing 510 01:07:23,665 --> 01:07:27,418 of a storage group that contains 100 tons of nuclear fuel. 511 01:07:28,169 --> 01:07:32,549 And, alarmingly, two more pools The surrounding area is also getting warmer. 512 01:07:34,008 --> 01:07:36,928 Normally at least five meters of cooling water 513 01:07:37,011 --> 01:07:39,305 cover the rods, preventing them from overheating 514 01:07:39,389 --> 01:07:42,267 and protect workers of deadly radiation. 515 01:07:42,892 --> 01:07:44,269 But reports now indicate 516 01:07:44,352 --> 01:07:46,521 the pool has dried completely, 517 01:07:46,646 --> 01:07:49,357 a potential catastrophic development. 518 01:07:49,857 --> 01:07:52,652 Radiation levels there They are believed to be lethal. 519 01:07:52,735 --> 01:07:54,362 No one can get close. 520 01:07:55,363 --> 01:07:57,490 Seven days after this crisis, 521 01:07:57,574 --> 01:07:58,783 no one is clearer 522 01:07:58,866 --> 01:08:01,286 about how this nuclear emergency will end. 523 01:08:51,294 --> 01:08:54,464 Right now, 70 brave souls they are still working 524 01:08:54,547 --> 01:08:57,342 in those affected Fukushima plant in Japan. 525 01:08:57,425 --> 01:08:59,844 They are trying to prevent a nuclear fusion 526 01:08:59,927 --> 01:09:01,971 and apparently suffering great radiation. 527 01:09:02,096 --> 01:09:03,473 We have obtained a statement 528 01:09:03,598 --> 01:09:06,351 of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Peter, 529 01:09:06,434 --> 01:09:09,020 that says the levels in the plant, 530 01:09:09,103 --> 01:09:10,772 and I want to make it very clear, 531 01:09:10,897 --> 01:09:12,649 in the plant itself, 532 01:09:12,774 --> 01:09:14,609 are enough to kill a man 533 01:09:14,734 --> 01:09:16,569 in five hours. 534 01:18:11,270 --> 01:18:12,813 A few dozen workers 535 01:18:12,938 --> 01:18:14,648 at the Fukushima nuclear plant 536 01:18:14,773 --> 01:18:18,360 we were finally able to restart the reactor cooling systems. 537 01:18:18,485 --> 01:18:20,487 The workers have entered a reactor building 538 01:18:20,613 --> 01:18:22,406 in Fukushima, Japan nuclear plant 539 01:18:22,489 --> 01:18:24,491 for the first time since it was damaged 540 01:18:24,617 --> 01:18:26,535 due to the March earthquake and tsunami. 541 01:18:29,997 --> 01:18:31,749 After The Hyper Rescue team has arrived, 542 01:18:31,832 --> 01:18:33,876 more and more people He came to help. 543 01:18:34,627 --> 01:18:36,962 And finally they begin to understand a solution to the disaster. 544 01:18:40,549 --> 01:18:43,719 What's next They are civil lawsuits, investigations, 545 01:18:43,844 --> 01:18:47,139 and TEPCO executives apologizing publicly. 546 01:19:04,073 --> 01:19:07,201 It is also revealed that TEPCO received a report 547 01:19:07,326 --> 01:19:09,703 warning that a tsunami 15 meters 548 01:19:09,828 --> 01:19:12,248 it was possible at the Fukushima plant. 549 01:19:15,084 --> 01:19:16,877 But instead of acting accordingly, 550 01:19:17,002 --> 01:19:18,879 TEPCO did not attend the report 551 01:19:19,004 --> 01:19:21,048 and he only gave it to the nuclear authorities 552 01:19:21,173 --> 01:19:23,259 on March 7, 2011, 553 01:19:23,759 --> 01:19:26,011 four days before the disaster struck. 554 01:19:31,433 --> 01:19:35,062 Japan is the nation that invented the word "tsunami." 555 01:19:35,729 --> 01:19:37,439 So the idea than a Japanese plant 556 01:19:37,523 --> 01:19:40,401 I wouldn't be ready because a tsunami seems ridiculous. 557 01:19:40,943 --> 01:19:42,111 And yet they were not. 558 01:19:42,569 --> 01:19:44,154 When-when the waves hit, 559 01:19:44,697 --> 01:19:47,491 the plant was literally trapped with his pants down. 560 01:19:47,574 --> 01:19:49,868 Not even... I even need a wavy wall. 561 01:19:49,952 --> 01:19:52,538 Everything you need It is a waterproof energy system. 562 01:19:52,621 --> 01:19:54,915 As you have it on a boat, or a submarine, or something like that. 563 01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:56,750 It wouldn't have been necessary a lot. 564 01:19:57,251 --> 01:19:58,585 And they just didn't do it 565 01:19:58,711 --> 01:20:01,380 because to increase the risk of a tsunami, 566 01:20:01,463 --> 01:20:04,133 increase the risk of something so it happens, 567 01:20:04,216 --> 01:20:08,637 would go against orthodoxy of the "security myth". 568 01:20:08,721 --> 01:20:10,681 if you asked the safety of a plant, 569 01:20:10,764 --> 01:20:12,182 even something like "Hey, 570 01:20:12,266 --> 01:20:14,310 let's take some more backup systems", 571 01:20:15,060 --> 01:20:17,187 possibly could It cost you your career. 572 01:20:17,938 --> 01:20:19,231 And then people didn't do it. 573 01:20:19,315 --> 01:20:21,442 They-they... They had to follow the line. 574 01:20:21,984 --> 01:20:25,112 And the plant was... was... left vulnerable 575 01:20:25,237 --> 01:20:27,114 to something that In Japan, frankly, 576 01:20:27,239 --> 01:20:30,159 It should have been... predictable. 577 01:21:47,361 --> 01:21:49,071 The consequences of the accident 578 01:21:49,196 --> 01:21:50,739 still continues today. 579 01:21:52,074 --> 01:21:56,203 And we are still decades to clean 580 01:21:56,328 --> 01:21:59,289 radioactive material in the reactors. 581 01:21:59,915 --> 01:22:03,752 Uh, they will be my grandchildren who see that clean. 582 01:22:04,670 --> 01:22:06,046 And after years of inactivity 583 01:22:06,171 --> 01:22:08,424 Japan's nuclear program 584 01:22:08,549 --> 01:22:10,634 is firmly back on the agenda. 585 01:22:11,718 --> 01:22:14,054 14 reactors have been put into operation, 586 01:22:14,179 --> 01:22:16,723 and there are plans to build many, many more. 587 01:22:18,725 --> 01:22:20,269 It's not just Japan. 588 01:22:20,394 --> 01:22:22,563 Much of the world, in the face of climate change 589 01:22:22,688 --> 01:22:24,773 and energy insecurity 590 01:22:24,898 --> 01:22:27,067 Now it's coming back to nuclear energy. 591 01:22:30,195 --> 01:22:32,030 Yes... you know, yes there was a great lesson 592 01:22:32,114 --> 01:22:33,449 of the accident, 593 01:22:34,241 --> 01:22:36,034 would be the need 594 01:22:36,118 --> 01:22:38,579 of transparency and-and coming... 595 01:22:38,704 --> 01:22:39,997 being frank with people, right? 596 01:22:41,540 --> 01:22:43,709 You would wait That lesson has been learned. 597 01:22:44,418 --> 01:22:46,587 But the government has has never been completely transparent 598 01:22:46,712 --> 01:22:49,006 about what happened in Fukushima. 599 01:22:49,715 --> 01:22:51,967 TEPCO has never disclosed completely what happened. 600 01:22:52,593 --> 01:22:55,596 We have very few records of what was being said 601 01:22:55,721 --> 01:22:57,264 or done at that time. 602 01:22:58,098 --> 01:22:59,558 It feels like any risk issue, 603 01:22:59,641 --> 01:23:02,144 any question of what can go wrong is gone, 604 01:23:02,269 --> 01:23:04,813 and people just don't want to to talk about it. 605 01:23:06,148 --> 01:23:08,192 We go back to, you know, "Don't worry about that, 606 01:23:08,275 --> 01:23:10,194 we will take care of it, everything is fine." 607 01:23:24,124 --> 01:23:26,585 And their messages leaves us wondering, 608 01:23:26,668 --> 01:23:28,712 Has anything really changed? 609 01:24:41,702 --> 01:24:43,453 ...those brave emergency workers 610 01:24:43,537 --> 01:24:46,456 who are walking on a radiation wall. 611 01:25:17,112 --> 01:25:20,574 The operators there They don't see themselves as heroes. 612 01:25:20,699 --> 01:25:22,367 You know, they felt guilty 613 01:25:22,451 --> 01:25:23,785 more than heroes, 614 01:25:23,869 --> 01:25:26,163 that they caused the accident, which they didn't do. 615 01:25:26,246 --> 01:25:29,625 Some told me that, you know, We feel like Vietnam veterans. 616 01:25:30,083 --> 01:25:32,085 You know, that in America where... 617 01:25:32,544 --> 01:25:34,379 You know, we think we fought a noble battle 618 01:25:34,463 --> 01:25:37,174 but our people don't think This is a noble war. 619 01:25:37,924 --> 01:25:39,760 Then we are not heroes. 620 01:25:42,304 --> 01:25:44,222 But for me, Unlike the military, 621 01:25:44,306 --> 01:25:46,266 none of those who stayed in that plant 622 01:25:46,391 --> 01:25:48,560 I was hoping they would have give up your life. 623 01:25:49,561 --> 01:25:51,980 They, like anyone else With a nine to five job, 624 01:25:52,105 --> 01:25:54,149 appeared on the 11th with their lunch boxes 625 01:25:54,274 --> 01:25:55,442 to work their shifts. 626 01:25:56,151 --> 01:25:57,986 Then they faced each other with all this. 627 01:25:59,112 --> 01:26:00,614 And they decided to stay. 628 01:26:02,616 --> 01:26:04,451 And I think understanding that, 629 01:26:05,285 --> 01:26:07,037 anyone would have to agree 630 01:26:07,621 --> 01:26:09,665 what are they Absolutely heroic.
