Nuclear reactor


Nuclear reactor,Japan is struggling to cool a nuclear plant after the earthquake of 8.9 magnitutude today. Government officials recently announced that it will release some radioactive steam into the atmosphere of the reactor.Residents disabilities near the facility were asked to evacuate as a precaution. cooling system of a nuclear plant after the earthquake fault, which is worrisome for earthquakes of Guardian.Japan 'caused a power outage that disabled people for cooling a nuclear reactor, prompting the evacuation orders for about 3,000 inhabitants, the government declared a state of emergency of nuclear material.

nuclear safety agency said the pressure of Japan in one of the six reactors at Fukushima Daiichi boiling water plant had increased to 1.5 times the level considered normal. To reduce the pressure slightly radioactive steam can be released. The agency said the radioactive element in the steam does not affect the environment or human persons health.Some 3000 to two miles (three kilometers) from the plant were invited to leave their homes, but the area evacuation was more than tripled to 6.2 miles (10 km) after authorities found eight times the normal level of radiation outside the facility, and 1000 times normal in a control unit room.Located in northern Japan , Fukushima Prefecture has a population of 2 million and is located in an area hard hit by the earthquake. A dam broke near, taking homes, Reuters reported.

The government was quick to declare a state of emergency units, too. Approximately 14,000 people living near two power plants were ordered evacuate.Tokyo Electric Power Co, the pressure in the reactor No. 1 at its plant in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear-increased the risk of radiation leak.After quake land in Japan there are about 12 hours, the cooling system of the plant malfunctioned. The operators of the plant in Fukushima Daiichi Unit suppress a revolt of fierce heat and pressure inside the reactor after the 8.9 magnitude earthquake and tsunami that followed cut the electricity generators sites with disabilities and emergency, the cancellation of the main cooling system.
