A third explosion in four days rocked the Fukushima nuclear power plant - sparking fears of a collapse. Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan, said the radiation level at the plant increased significantly with an increased risk of leakage of radioactive material. Radiation levels around the plant for one hour of exposure is eight times the legal limit for exposure of the increase from one year to a level that affects human health.Radiation levels increased in the vicinity plant and adjacent areas. Those caught in the evacuation zone around Fukushima received potassium iodide tablets to protect against cancers of the thyroid. Radioactive iodine is readily absorbed by the thyroid, which can cause tumors, but the pills saturate the gland and block the absorption of the radioactive form.
Tokyo Electric Power officials have a picture of a nuclear power, and respond to questions from journalists at the center of disaster in Fukushima, northern Japan March 15, 2011. Another explosion rocked damaged a Japanese nuclear power on Tuesday, where engineers were pumping sea water into a reactor to prevent a catastrophic collapse following an earthquake and tsunami. The day began with an explosion that damaged the ceiling fresco above its reactor from overheating two on Tuesday and the remaining vapor increased complexity, Jiji news agency said. Early reports suggested he may have had damage to the containment vessel after the pressure has decreased, but there were no immediate reports of damage to the reactor itself, the National Security Agency Nuclear said.
Japanese officials say they believe that a hydrogen explosion occurred in the factories affected by Dai-ichi Fukushima Japan nuclear plant No, similar to a previous column on a different drive facility.A mass of smoke was seen belching 3 of the unit Monday. Officials on Saturday at the premises of the Unit have been racing to stave off collapse after an earthquake of more reactors Six people were injured. Radiation levels have increased after the explosion, but it would be a mass escape, according to Cabinet Secretary of Japan, Yukio Edano.A the wall of the building collapsed because of the clouds of smoke and explosion have been sent into the atmosphere above the plant. Officials estimate that the reactor itself is intact.
