Bill and his team believed
00:00:02.084 --> 00:00:04.586
they had finally developed
the ideal energy source.
00:00:05.212 --> 00:00:07.881
A reactor that was clean, efficient,
00:00:07.965 --> 00:00:10.259
and most importantly, safe.
00:00:10.509 --> 00:00:12.261
Raging meltdowns in progress.
00:00:12.594 --> 00:00:15.055
One spent fuel pod open to the air,
00:00:15.222 --> 00:00:16.932
hydrogen gas explosions,
00:00:17.099 --> 00:00:20.561
any one of which already exceeds
Three Mile Island.
00:00:20.728 --> 00:00:22.104
In a routine meeting,
00:00:22.396 --> 00:00:24.732
the team watched the news
coming from Japan.
00:00:24.815 --> 00:00:27.901
...and we saw those
eerie images just yesterday morning here,
00:00:28.001 --> 00:00:30.779
of the ghost towns created
near the Fukushima plant.
00:00:30.863 --> 00:00:33.532
I mean, are we looking
at a potential Chernobyl situation
00:00:33.615 --> 00:00:36.618
where an entire region of Japan
would be empty?
00:00:36.702 --> 00:00:39.538
Firefighters are no longer
putting water onto the cores.
00:00:39.663 --> 00:00:42.666
That’s the only thing preventing
a full-scale meltdown
00:00:42.791 --> 00:00:44.999
at three reactor sites.
00:00:44.251 --> 00:00:47.254
Once they evacuate,
then we pass the point of no return.
00:00:47.588 --> 00:00:48.797
Meltdowns are...
00:00:48.881 --> 00:00:50.174
Public opinion,
00:00:50.257 --> 00:00:51.467
already skittish,
