Description: This week, Dr. Caldicott brings on nuclear engineer Arnold Gundersen [...]
At 18:00 in
Gundersen: They still have to inject nitrogen into the vessels all the time. So you will — as a matter of fact, just recently they put a little too much nitrogen in and they wound up with these puffs of radiation coming out.
If they put in too much, they’ll squeeze too much radiation out. so they’re trying to maintain the nitrogen without forcing more and more radiation out but the containments are leaking like sieves.
And again for 5 or 6 or 7 years they’re going to continue to create hydrogen, and the only way to prevent that from exploding again is to feed in nitrogen, which is inert.
Caldicott: Therefore, there’s still a risk of a hydrogen explosion in Units 1, 2 and 3?
Gundersen: Yes.
Caldicott: My God.
