Two workers are missing and the roof is cracked reactor number four after an explosion Tuesday at a Japanese nuclear plant damaged by an earthquake Fukushima, the agency said the country's nuclear security. The agency did not identify the missing workers, but said they were in the area of turbine reactor four at the nuclear plant, which was damaged by a tsunami and an earthquake recorded on Friday.
In addition, a fire broke out in the building that houses the reactor number four of the plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co in Japan, said the power company. Efforts are being made to extinguish the fire, he said. The authorities are trying desperately to prevent draining the water used to cool the radioactive cores of the reactors at the plant, which could lead to overheating and the release of radioactive material into the atmosphere.
It is possible that the water is boiling in the reactor, the agency said.
