The story :

A journalist questions a Fukushima'technician... The nuclear explosions continue.

Editing :

A journalist challenges a technician. He wants to know the gravity level of the nuclear accident. The technician answers him by making sign 4 with the hand. They attend 3 new explosions. Each time, the technician answers "4". The journalist understanding finally ! They are 4 engines. Thus 4 X 7 = 28 ! Four Tchernobyl times !
"...And well yes, indeed, I am in front of the Fukushima power station. Approximately to a few hundred meters. All seems perfectly under control. Moreover, I see a member of the personnel.

Sir, sir! Thank you to answer me ! First of all allow me to ask you the question. The only one which interests all our televiewers... Which is the level of gravity of the Fukushima nuclear incident ?

(behind his protection mask, the man makes a sign "4" with the hand)
Four !... I recall to the witnesses that level 7 is the maximum level. That of Tchernobyl!



(The engine n°2 explodes.)
(The journalist is very excited:)

Ohaaa the scoop ! We have just lived "on line" a second nuclear explosion!
I see now that elegant a little cloud. It was formed above the power station... It soon will disperse above the Pacific Ocean...
And for you maintaining Mister : Which is the new degree of gravity?... Level five I suppose ?

(even gesture of the man)

Four ! You maintain four ! But !, a little decency !... I request from you.

(The engine n°3 explodes also.)
Fantastic ! the scoop of the century ! Three nuclear explosions in less than one minute !
Sir ?... Level six, we cannot doubt any more ?

(even gesture of the man)


Four ! How four ! You don't think that ?! One, two, three power stations have just exploded ! and you, the "Specialist in the Atom", you maintain the level four ! How... despite everything the respect that I owe you... how can I believe you ?

(The engine n°4 explodes in its turn.)
It is splendid ! A single case in the journalist career !

(to the technician)


So ? Level seven ! We are alright...
(even gesture of the man)

What ! How ! No !... always four !...
Ahhhhh I am stupid! But it is of course ! They were the four power stations !.... Then, if I count well ! 4 x 7... 28 !
The level of gravity would be 28 ! ...on a scale which counts only seven of them ! But it is mathematically impossible ! You make fun Mister ! ...
A little decency, I request from you !...
Well. I am obliged to return the antenna ! They beckon to me to evacuate the platform...

(he flees...)
(...but, he returns in the foreground)

It was an exceptional "direct" from Fukushima...
