What I'm stating, and I want to be very clear, the threat of a blevy has been eliminated. We still have threats that we're mitigating right now, but we had to get through the first one first, and we successfully did that.
So, last night, we knew there was a crack and there was we had professionals in there who do this uh on a professional setting. They were able to get in there, confirm that there was no pressure left. The other thing, there is a gauge for internal pressure. The way the display, we were unable to see it very well where how the display was set, our drones couldn't see it, but getting our firefighters and the subject matter experts in there, they were able to visually see the display.
The threat of that levy was keeping us and the people out, right? With that being eliminated, that's going to open up our strategic operations to continue to move forward and now go after other threats that are already on the table that we've been concerned with. But we had to eliminate the threat of the levy so we can get our first responders and subject matter experts closer in there with the threat of avy.
We look at a blast pattern and that for all the data and the intel shows if you have a levy with this chemical, this tank, you need this much radius. That's been eliminated. So, if we don't need that much uh area for the zones, it could potentially be shrunken. So, that's what that we're all doing right now to vet and validate those. And like I said, there'll be an additional press conference um later today.
So, we still have product in there. We can't physically see what the product is doing. We know that the product will solidify liquid to a solid form. We don't know how much of it is. There's an idea, not confirmed. It's probably solidifying in some state. We're very confident it's solidifying, but we don't know how much of it has yet. All of it could or, you know, 75% or there still could be some liquid, maybe gel in there that's not completely solidified. We believe based off the temperatures that it is in the solidification process, but we're unable to confirm that right now.
So, we still have uh potential for an explosion that it's not as bad as a blevy, but it's still a threat. And that goes back to your first question. There's still a threat out there and we need the public to to keep to those evacuation zones until we deem it safe for them to come back. We understand the difficulties and the challenges of when we make these evacuation zones. Our communities are out of their houses. They're out of their normality of the way they're living. We want them back. We really do. But we cannot allow them back when there is a safety element to them and their well-being. Once all that has been eliminated, we will get them back. And that's one of the goals that we're having right now.
