00:00:18,102 --> 00:00:19,562
Let's give Yoshida a call.

4
00:00:20,146 --> 00:00:23,608
They said we're allowed
to use seawater to inject.

5
00:00:23,691 --> 00:00:24,525
Yes, sir.

6
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:30,615
I know it's safe to inject seawater.

7
00:00:31,741 --> 00:00:34,577
We're the ones that'll take the blame
if this goes wrong.

8
00:00:35,411 --> 00:00:39,749
Still they think they should have a say in
how private companies like us do business.

9
00:00:43,669 --> 00:00:47,173
BASED ON TRUE EVENTS

10
00:00:47,256 --> 00:00:49,634
-[man 1] Go check over there.
-[man 2] Yes, sir.

[tense music playing]

13
00:00:57,225 --> 00:01:00,019
-[man 1] Careful not to step on anything.
-[man 2] Yes, sir.

14
00:01:08,236 --> 00:01:11,114
[man 3] As we expected, there's
nothing wrong with the suction hose.

15
00:01:11,197 --> 00:01:12,657
[splashing]

16
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,994
-[Shimura] How's the pump?
-[man 5] Working just fine!

17
00:01:17,078 --> 00:01:19,080
[tense music continues]

18
00:01:27,380 --> 00:01:28,965
[Shimura] How's the water pipe?

19
00:01:29,549 --> 00:01:30,758
[man 5] Working fine!

20
00:01:31,384 --> 00:01:32,468
[Shimura] Roger that!

21
00:01:32,552 --> 00:01:34,554
[tense music continues]

22
00:01:38,474 --> 00:01:41,936
[Shimura] One more time.
Increase pressure!

23
00:01:42,019 --> 00:01:44,730
-[man 4] Increasing pressure!
-[motor rattling]

24
00:01:44,814 --> 00:01:47,066

00:02:00,746 --> 00:02:02,623

FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI

27
00:02:07,211 --> 00:02:08,379
[Maejima] This is bad.

28
00:02:10,006 --> 00:02:12,508
Just as we thought,
the water level isn't going up.

29
00:02:13,926 --> 00:02:18,139
[operator] Which means we should assume
that the water isn't going in, right?

30
00:02:20,766 --> 00:02:21,684
[dosimeter beeps]

31
00:02:27,398 --> 00:02:31,736
Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I see. Thank you.

FUKUSHIMA DAIICHI
EMERGENCY OPERATION ROOM

33
00:02:34,197 --> 00:02:35,364
I'll talk to you later.

34
00:02:40,119 --> 00:02:41,120
Was that the head office?

35
00:02:41,204 --> 00:02:44,624
Yeah. We were given permission
to inject seawater.

36
00:02:45,374 --> 00:02:47,543
-[Kinoshita] It's a bit late.
-Yeah.

37
00:02:48,878 --> 00:02:50,213
-So?
-[Kinoshita sighs]

38
00:02:51,631 --> 00:02:55,134
[sighs] First of all, there's definitely
no water reaching the reactor.

39
00:02:55,927 --> 00:02:58,638
The reactor's pressure
is 7.38 megapascals.

40
00:02:58,721 --> 00:03:01,557
It's risen two megapascals
in the last 60 minutes.

41
00:03:02,391 --> 00:03:05,603
That much pressure is preventing
any water from flowing in.

42
00:03:07,438 --> 00:03:12,276
-Then to do that, we'd have to vent.
-[Kinoshita] The SR valve. That's right.

43
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,028
Yeah. Possible yet?

44
00:03:14,695 --> 00:03:16,072
Still not possible.

45
00:03:16,155 --> 00:03:18,658
Our containment pressure's rising
as expected.

46
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:21,702
The AO valve must be shut off.

47
00:03:26,374 --> 00:03:27,875
Is that from the…

48
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,254
hydrogen explosion?

49
00:03:33,339 --> 00:03:35,675
Either that or some air leaked out

50
00:03:35,758 --> 00:03:39,512
of the cylinders we used
to pressurize the AO valve.

51
00:03:43,432 --> 00:03:44,767
Has somebody gone to check?

52
00:03:45,268 --> 00:03:47,061
[Kinoshita] They should've done it by now.

53
00:04:04,078 --> 00:04:06,372
[Toda] Mr. Furuya and Mr. Osugi are back!

54
00:04:06,455 --> 00:04:08,332
Welcome back! We'll take that.

55
00:04:08,416 --> 00:04:10,001
[operator] Hey, guys. Welcome.

56
00:04:11,502 --> 00:04:12,420
I'm taking it off.

57
00:04:15,423 --> 00:04:17,091
-Let's get this off.
-[Maejima] How'd it go?

58
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:18,718
[Furuya] No good.

59
00:04:20,886 --> 00:04:22,596
Inside the reactor building,

60
00:04:23,306 --> 00:04:25,057
north of the double doors,

61
00:04:25,558 --> 00:04:29,312
it measured 300 millisieverts per hour.

62
00:04:29,395 --> 00:04:30,438
[Maejima] Three hundred?

63
00:04:31,856 --> 00:04:33,983
Then it must be leaking
from somewhere already.

64
00:04:35,234 --> 00:04:36,902
It's possible, you're right.

65
00:04:36,986 --> 00:04:40,906
A bit lower on the south side, and west.
Only 100 per hour.

66
00:04:45,328 --> 00:04:47,413
[Maejima] Three hundred means you'd reach

67
00:04:47,496 --> 00:04:49,749
the yearly exposure limit
in just 20 minutes.

68
00:04:51,083 --> 00:04:52,960
Shall we go from the south side then?

69
00:04:55,588 --> 00:04:56,422
[Osugi sighs]

70
00:05:01,719 --> 00:05:03,721
[Azuma] If a hydrogen explosion
occurred at Unit 1,

71
00:05:04,930 --> 00:05:07,850
couldn't the same thing happen
to the other five reactors too?

72
00:05:15,775 --> 00:05:17,735
I wouldn't say the possibility is zero.

73
00:05:22,615 --> 00:05:25,076
Obviously there's a chance
that could happen! We know that!

74
00:05:25,576 --> 00:05:28,329
Now stop wasting our time
with useless answers!

75
00:05:28,412 --> 00:05:30,873
Or do you think the public
will buy this malarkey?

76
00:05:32,541 --> 00:05:33,542
[Sano sighs]

77
00:05:42,051 --> 00:05:45,429
[Murakami] A hydrogen explosion
at the other units, huh?

78
00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:47,264
Yeah.

79
00:05:49,767 --> 00:05:51,602
[sighs]

80
00:05:52,103 --> 00:05:53,104
Believe it or not,

81
00:05:54,063 --> 00:05:58,067
Sano just told me
to stop giving him useless explanations.

82
00:06:00,111 --> 00:06:01,612
The next press conference,

83
00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:06,117
he needs to explain that
a hydrogen explosion could still occur.

84
00:06:07,451 --> 00:06:09,495
It seems unlikely to me.

85
00:06:10,496 --> 00:06:13,958
Even still, I'm having them
open the closed valve as we speak.

86
00:06:15,251 --> 00:06:18,546
[sighs] Whether or not
he wants to create chaos,

87
00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:20,214
the prime minister can decide.

88
00:06:21,215 --> 00:06:25,428
If that question comes up later,
he'll deny ever answering.

89
00:06:25,511 --> 00:06:27,388
But it could happen,

90
00:06:27,471 --> 00:06:30,099
so opening the valve
should fix the problem.

91
00:06:32,184 --> 00:06:33,978
Okay? Go do your job.

92
00:06:45,948 --> 00:06:46,866
[sighs]

93
00:07:00,629 --> 00:07:01,672
Hey. It's Yoshida.

94
00:07:03,716 --> 00:07:05,801
-Talk to me.
-[Maejima] Yes, sir.

95
00:07:05,885 --> 00:07:07,219
Everything is ready.

96
00:07:07,928 --> 00:07:11,932
We'll enter above the suppression chamber
and try to access the AO valve.

[somber music playing]

98
00:07:29,825 --> 00:07:30,743
I'm sorry.

99
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:35,706
After seeing that explosion,

100
00:07:36,832 --> 00:07:38,375
you all must be scared.

101
00:07:38,459 --> 00:07:40,461
[somber music continues]

102
00:07:44,256 --> 00:07:46,258
If you'd been inside when that happened…

103
00:07:48,802 --> 00:07:49,970
you'd be dead for sure.

104
00:07:55,559 --> 00:07:57,603
[Maejima] We understand
that it must be done.

105
00:07:57,686 --> 00:07:59,939
[music fades]

106
00:08:06,904 --> 00:08:08,072
Would you please

107
00:08:08,906 --> 00:08:10,991
open the valves any way you can?

108
00:08:13,035 --> 00:08:15,746
The primary containment vessel
and the pressure vessel…

109
00:08:18,499 --> 00:08:19,959
they've reached their limits.

110
00:08:20,042 --> 00:08:21,961
[somber music playing]

111
00:08:24,547 --> 00:08:27,508
[Maejima] We'll take care
of the primary containment vessel.

112
00:08:28,509 --> 00:08:30,636
I'm leaving the pressure vessel up to you.

113
00:08:36,475 --> 00:08:37,309
Okay.

[Maejima sighs] I'm sorry.

152
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:49,478
[Yoshida] No need.

153
00:12:50,896 --> 00:12:53,023
They made the right decision, coming back.

154
00:13:07,871 --> 00:13:10,207
Would you please give ten minutes

155
00:13:11,166 --> 00:13:12,376
for me to call you back?

156
00:13:14,336 --> 00:13:15,295
[Maejima] Yes, sir.

160
00:13:40,362 --> 00:13:44,157
Excuse me, sir. Vice President Murakami
is calling for you.

161
00:13:44,241 --> 00:13:46,243
[tense music continues]

162
00:13:55,627 --> 00:13:57,588
When you get those documents,
bring them to me.

163
00:13:57,671 --> 00:13:58,505
Yes, sir.

164
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:03,677
How's the water pumping so far?
Is it working?

165
00:14:07,014 --> 00:14:08,056
No, it's not.

166
00:14:09,975 --> 00:14:12,519
Our pressure vessel's
at seven megapascals.

167
00:14:13,061 --> 00:14:16,481
And that's so high
that the water isn't going in.

168
00:14:17,816 --> 00:14:19,318
How is that so?

169
00:14:19,401 --> 00:14:21,820
Shouldn't the SR valve automatically open?

170
00:14:22,779 --> 00:14:25,115
There's too much pressure
to open on its own.

171
00:14:26,700 --> 00:14:28,911
So it won't automatically open?

172
00:14:30,078 --> 00:14:31,455
What will be the result?

173
00:14:35,584 --> 00:14:37,586
[tense music playing]

174
00:14:39,212 --> 00:14:41,965
The Unit 2 fuel rods
have started exposing.

175
00:14:43,425 --> 00:14:47,596
Assuming that the water gauge is correct,
from the top of the fuel rods,

176
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:51,934
our water level's dropped to 700 mm.

177
00:14:53,977 --> 00:14:55,604
In the next two hours,

178
00:14:57,397 --> 00:14:59,066
our fuel rods will melt.

179
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,654
If that happens,
because of the melted fuel,

180
00:15:04,446 --> 00:15:06,990
our pressure vessel
will likely be damaged,

181
00:15:08,033 --> 00:15:10,535
and radiation will pour
into the atmosphere.

182
00:15:12,579 --> 00:15:15,499
A major contamination event is inevitable.

183
00:15:15,582 --> 00:15:17,918
[tense music continues]

184
00:15:23,507 --> 00:15:24,841
[music fades]

185
00:15:38,563 --> 00:15:41,316
All of us power station employees

186
00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:43,819
will be exposed to the radiation.

187
00:15:46,321 --> 00:15:49,700
And so nobody will be able
to get close to the reactors anymore.

188
00:15:50,742 --> 00:15:52,327
Therefore, after 2,

189
00:15:53,078 --> 00:15:55,080
Units 1, 3, and 4

190
00:15:55,664 --> 00:15:57,290
will each begin to melt down,

191
00:15:58,291 --> 00:16:00,168
and eventually melt through.

192
00:16:18,228 --> 00:16:19,896
You need to get that valve open!

193
00:16:20,397 --> 00:16:22,733
But do it now! Cool it down!

194
00:16:24,443 --> 00:16:25,277
Yeah.

195
00:16:56,266 --> 00:16:57,142
Kinoshita!

196
00:16:57,809 --> 00:16:58,643
Here you go.

197
00:16:59,895 --> 00:17:03,065
[Yoshida] Do you know how many volts
we need to operate the SR valve?

198
00:17:03,565 --> 00:17:04,649
One hundred and twenty-five.

199
00:17:08,070 --> 00:17:08,987
Why do you ask?

200
00:17:09,821 --> 00:17:12,365
Do you think
we could force the valve open?

201
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,452
Not remotely without power.

202
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,121
Plus it's where no one can get to

203
00:17:18,205 --> 00:17:19,414
and we can't move it.

204
00:17:22,167 --> 00:17:24,878
A car battery can supply 12 volts, right?

205
00:17:25,962 --> 00:17:27,964
So ten connected together

206
00:17:28,882 --> 00:17:30,967
should be enough to get a reading.

207
00:17:32,094 --> 00:17:33,261
Sure. Ten, yeah.

208
00:17:33,887 --> 00:17:37,808
It worked in the Control Room to get us
a reading there. So it's possible?

209
00:17:38,725 --> 00:17:39,643
Uh-huh.

210
00:17:39,726 --> 00:17:41,937
-Get it moving.
-[Kinoshita] Yes, sir.

211
00:17:44,731 --> 00:17:48,193
Everyone, we need to urge anyone
with a car to provide their battery.

212
00:17:48,276 --> 00:17:49,903
Teams of two. Go get batteries.

213
00:17:51,113 --> 00:17:53,657
[man] Will anyone lend us
their car battery?

214
00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:58,161
[woman] Is there anyone who is willing
to provide us with their car battery?

[Maejima] Be careful.

218
00:18:25,313 --> 00:18:27,983
It's only 120 volts,
but in a serial connection,

219
00:18:28,066 --> 00:18:29,776
you get shocked, it could kill you.

220
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,740
[Osugi] I heard some employees
were reluctant to give up their batteries.

221
00:18:36,241 --> 00:18:38,451
If they removed their batteries

222
00:18:38,535 --> 00:18:40,871
and the time comes
when they need to evacuate,

223
00:18:41,454 --> 00:18:44,916
they would no longer be able to do so.

224
00:18:45,458 --> 00:18:46,376
[Osugi grunts]

225
00:18:48,211 --> 00:18:49,963
We can't let these go to waste.

227
00:18:56,386 --> 00:18:57,429

-[Nozaki] Oh, I appreciate it.

231
00:20:28,144 --> 00:20:30,021
[Furuya] Could you shine that
where my hands are?

232
00:20:30,105 --> 00:20:30,981
[Nozaki] Sure.

233
00:20:31,773 --> 00:20:32,857
[Furuya] Right there.

234
00:20:37,988 --> 00:20:42,075
Also, turn the page and show me
the next wiring diagram, please.

235
00:20:42,575 --> 00:20:43,451
[Nozaki] Okay.

236
00:21:03,805 --> 00:21:04,973
[Furuya] This is the one.

237
00:21:08,184 --> 00:21:10,145
This terminal connects to the SR valve.

238
00:21:10,979 --> 00:21:12,981
[Nozaki] You found it? What a relief.

239
00:21:16,735 --> 00:21:19,904
[Furuya] If they're done
preparing the cable, bring it over.

240
00:21:19,988 --> 00:21:20,822
[Nozaki] Okay.

241
00:21:26,578 --> 00:21:28,538
-Cable ready?
-[Takahashi] Here you go.

242
00:21:34,377 --> 00:21:35,378
[Nozaki] Mr. Furuya.

243
00:21:38,340 --> 00:21:40,383
-We're connecting it!
-[Maejima] Understood.

244
00:21:53,271 --> 00:21:55,357
-[Nozaki] I'm counting down.
-[Maejima] Understood.

245

[Nozaki] Three, two, one, zero!

246
00:22:00,820 --> 00:22:02,030
The cable is connected.

247
00:22:02,739 --> 00:22:03,865
[Maejima] Understood.

248
00:22:04,449 --> 00:22:05,658
Open the SR valve.

249
00:22:07,744 --> 00:22:09,662
[operator] Opening the SR valve.

250
00:22:10,538 --> 00:22:14,918

00:22:37,232 --> 00:22:38,942
[Maejima] It needs 125 volts, huh?

255
00:22:39,818 --> 00:22:41,778
Let's make it 11 batteries and try again.

256
00:22:42,278 --> 00:22:43,363
[operators] Yes, sir!

00:23:14,602 --> 00:23:17,188
The Self-Defense Force's
back-up pumper arrived,

265
00:23:17,272 --> 00:23:19,274
so I asked them to head over to Unit 3,

266
00:23:20,525 --> 00:23:24,154

seems to have high levels of radiation.

[Hayami] Come in, Zero-Three.
Zero-Three, this is Zero-Zero. Over.

I'm heading over to Unit 3.

372

that might be here.

432
00:37:37,131 --> 00:37:39,341
We're getting out of here
as quickly as possible.

433
00:37:39,425 --> 00:37:43,721
In addition to the radiation,
there could be another explosion. Hurry!

434
00:37:43,804 --> 00:37:45,306

[Hayami] We're leaving the vehicle. We'll
run towards the seismic safe building.

462
00:39:13,977 --> 00:39:15,604
Can everyone run?

463
00:39:15,687 --> 00:39:16,563

480
00:40:51,867 --> 00:40:55,329
[man 6] There must be
a great amount of radiation.

00:40:55,913 --> 00:40:58,081
[man 6 takes shallow breaths]

482
00:40:59,333 --> 00:41:02,085

Come on, hold on to my shoulder!

[Hayami grunts]

492
00:41:39,623 --> 00:41:41,041

494
00:41:42,459 --> 00:41:43,544
[Oishi] Are you okay?

495
00:41:44,044 --> 00:41:45,629
-Can you stand?
-[man 8] My leg.

496
00:41:46,672 --> 00:41:47,965
[Oishi] Does your left leg work?

497
00:41:48,882 --> 00:41:51,051
-Come on. Hang on to me.
-[man 8] I'm sorry.

498
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,971

500
00:41:58,642 --> 00:42:00,727
-[man 1] You can take your time.
-[man 3] Easy now.

501
00:42:01,478 --> 00:42:02,771

[groaning]

503
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:06,525
[man 1] Are you okay?

-[man 6] Thank you.
-[groaning]

507
00:42:11,989 --> 00:42:12,990
[man 6] Thank you.

508
00:42:15,576 --> 00:42:17,202
[Hayami] Think that car will start?

509
00:42:17,828 --> 00:42:20,914
[man 6] No, it won't.
Any of the cars with hoods open

510
00:42:21,415 --> 00:42:23,584
are the ones we took the batteries out of.

511
00:42:23,667 --> 00:42:25,043
They won't start.

512
00:42:25,669 --> 00:42:26,503

[music fades]

515
00:42:46,356 --> 00:42:49,568
[reporter 1] I see flames.
Unlike the hydrogen explosion at Unit 1,

516
00:42:49,651 --> 00:42:51,737
there are flames this time.

517
00:42:51,820 --> 00:42:54,406
This explosion is far more massive
than the previous one.

518
00:42:54,906 --> 00:42:57,075
-[reporter 2] Something is falling?
-[reporter 1] Yes.

519
00:42:57,159 --> 00:42:59,745
It seems something like debris is falling.

520
00:42:59,828 --> 00:43:02,623
This is also something
we did not see with Unit 1.

521
00:43:03,206 --> 00:43:07,628
I repeat, earlier today at around 11 a.m.,
there was an explosion at Unit 3…

522
00:43:07,711 --> 00:43:11,131
It's Unit 3 now? What's going on?

523
00:43:11,214 --> 00:43:13,216
Why did we have another explosion there?

524
00:43:13,300 --> 00:43:14,885
[reporter 1] We can also see flames.

525
00:43:14,968 --> 00:43:16,178
From the footage we're seeing,

526
00:43:16,261 --> 00:43:19,765
there seems to be debris of some sort
falling in the area. As we find out more…

527
00:43:22,059 --> 00:43:24,936
[man] Listen.
All just head to your parents' place.

528
00:43:25,020 --> 00:43:26,772
The radiation could reach Tokyo.

529
00:43:27,981 --> 00:43:29,608
I'll let your father know you're coming.

530
00:43:31,193 --> 00:43:34,404
SHIBUYA

531
00:43:34,488 --> 00:43:38,575
There was a massive explosion at
Fukushima Nuclear Power Station today.

532
00:43:39,660 --> 00:43:40,786
According to TOEPCO,

533
00:43:40,869 --> 00:43:43,288
at Fukushima Daiichi
Nuclear Power Station,

534
00:43:43,372 --> 00:43:45,957
workers there
had just resumed pumping water

535
00:43:46,041 --> 00:43:48,877
in an effort
to cool the primary containment vessel.

536
00:43:51,004 --> 00:43:53,715
[TV commentator] Therefore,
it's possible that workers were outside

537
00:43:53,799 --> 00:43:55,258
when the explosion occurred.

538
00:43:55,884 --> 00:43:59,429
I'm very concerned
about how much damage it has caused.

539
00:44:01,431 --> 00:44:04,476
[female TV reporter] We don't have details
regarding the extent of the damage.

540
00:44:05,394 --> 00:44:08,313
We'll provide an update
as soon as we receive new information.

541
00:44:08,397 --> 00:44:09,398
Nothing to worry about.

542
00:44:09,481 --> 00:44:11,108
[male TV reporter]
What you're viewing now…

543
00:44:11,191 --> 00:44:12,150
He'll be all right.

544
00:44:12,234 --> 00:44:15,028
[male TV reporter] An explosion
at the Fukushima Daiichi power station.

545
00:44:15,737 --> 00:44:17,656
And can you show the footage?

546
00:44:18,699 --> 00:44:22,869
Yes. And this is the footage
of the explosion at Unit 1 on the 12th.

547
00:44:23,578 --> 00:44:26,957
As you can see,
unlike the incident at Unit 1,

548
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,669
this time, black smoke is billowing higher
and we can also see flames.

549
00:44:30,752 --> 00:44:35,632
And could that be debris? I can see
there are numerous large falling objects.

550
00:44:36,717 --> 00:44:38,969
[female TV reporter]
Workers had just resumed pumping water

551
00:44:39,052 --> 00:44:40,387
when the explosion occurred.

552
00:44:40,887 --> 00:44:43,265
There are mounting concerns
regarding damages,

553
00:44:43,348 --> 00:44:45,684
but we have not received details yet.

554
00:44:46,685 --> 00:44:49,771
We'll provide an update
as soon as we receive new information.

555
00:45:05,203 --> 00:45:07,205
[quiet footsteps approach]

556
00:45:09,791 --> 00:45:11,126
The count's 40 now

557
00:45:12,043 --> 00:45:13,211
that have gone missing.

558
00:45:19,426 --> 00:45:21,803
I'll get someone
to double check those numbers right away.

559
00:45:29,519 --> 00:45:31,396
[Yoshida] And with that… [sighs]

560
00:45:32,814 --> 00:45:34,691
…now I can't return home ever again.

561
00:45:37,903 --> 00:45:38,904
What are you saying?

562
00:45:43,992 --> 00:45:46,828
I've made unreasonable demands
to everyone.

563
00:45:51,374 --> 00:45:53,668
I'm the one who sent in all those guys.

564
00:45:58,799 --> 00:45:59,800
As a result,

565
00:46:00,884 --> 00:46:03,845
should any of those guys
not make it home again…

566
00:46:07,057 --> 00:46:09,309
well, then I won't either.

567
00:46:13,146 --> 00:46:14,815
As soon as all this started…

568
00:46:17,108 --> 00:46:18,151
I decided that.

569
00:46:34,251 --> 00:46:36,127
[Azuma] Unit 3's
a plutonium reactor, right?

570
00:46:36,211 --> 00:46:41,216
Which isn't using uranium, but plutonium,
which is much more toxic by comparison.

571
00:46:41,716 --> 00:46:43,552
And you let it burst out into the air!

572
00:46:43,635 --> 00:46:47,180
But, sir, the level of risk
among the reactors is all the same.

573
00:46:47,264 --> 00:46:49,891
Plutonium reactors
aren't more dangerous than others.

574
00:46:50,475 --> 00:46:53,395
-Furthermore, their safety is my highest--
-Enough already!

575
00:46:56,398 --> 00:46:59,734
That means
we'll have to escalate to Level 7

576
00:47:00,527 --> 00:47:02,237
for international accidents.

577
00:47:05,115 --> 00:47:06,950
Which is what Chernobyl was.

578
00:47:38,648 --> 00:47:39,816
[man] Reporting in, sir.

579
00:47:42,402 --> 00:47:45,655
The temperature of Unit 4's spent fuel
is rising rapidly.

580
00:47:52,245 --> 00:47:54,372
Unit 4's being inspected, right?

581
00:47:55,874 --> 00:47:59,085
A whole lot of nuclear fuel
is being stored there.

582
00:47:59,169 --> 00:48:03,798
Exactly. Currently, the pools
contain 1,535 rods.

583
00:48:04,424 --> 00:48:06,426
The decay heat is at its peak.

584
00:48:09,804 --> 00:48:13,350
But there's enough water in that pool
for a month, even with no power.

585
00:48:13,892 --> 00:48:15,435
So, why's the temperature rising?

586
00:48:15,936 --> 00:48:19,522
[man] That explosion may have damaged
the pool, resulting in water leakage.

587
00:48:20,607 --> 00:48:24,527
Unlike the reactors, we don't shield
our spent fuel rods from everything.

588
00:48:25,487 --> 00:48:27,155
If those rods are exposed,

589
00:48:27,238 --> 00:48:30,116
an extraordinary amount of radiation
will get released.

590
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,202
[tense music playing]

591
00:48:36,122 --> 00:48:37,332
What's our current temp?

592
00:48:37,874 --> 00:48:40,335
[man] At the time of the earthquake,
the water was 40 degrees.

593
00:48:40,418 --> 00:48:42,420
Currently, it's up to 84 degrees.

594
00:48:42,504 --> 00:48:44,506
[tense music continues]

595
00:48:54,599 --> 00:48:57,477
[Maejima] The water level
in Unit 2's reactor is going down.

596
00:48:59,854 --> 00:49:00,689
Yes.

597
00:49:03,233 --> 00:49:04,818
The AO valve is still shut.

598
00:49:05,777 --> 00:49:06,611
Yeah.

599
00:49:09,406 --> 00:49:10,240
Yes.

600
00:49:11,241 --> 00:49:13,159
The pressure's also beginning to rise.

601
00:49:16,287 --> 00:49:17,288
At this rate,

602
00:49:18,081 --> 00:49:20,917
we have five hours
until the fuel rods are exposed again.

603
00:49:21,001 --> 00:49:23,003
[tense music playing]

604
00:49:44,733 --> 00:49:46,735
[tense music builds]

605
00:50:16,139 --> 00:50:18,141
[tense music continues]

606
00:50:22,604 --> 00:50:23,438
[music stops]

607
00:50:27,025 --> 00:50:29,027
[somber music playing]

608
00:51:28,962 --> 00:51:30,964
[somber music continues]

609
00:52:28,021 --> 00:52:29,189
[music fades]
