TOKYO - The radioactivity of the water to the plant in Fukushima No. 2 reactor is extremely high and is 10 million times the normal levels. He reports the Agency for Nuclear Safety, under which it is required the immediate evacuation of about 500 engineers working to cool the plants damaged by the earthquake and the tsnumani March 11.
And the TEPCO, the operator of nuclear power plant in Fukushima, apologizes and admits the error of his estimate. The level of iodine-131 is so high that the Agency would suggest that there has been a partial melting of the core. The emergency contamination therefore becomes more acute, while attempts to put in safety have been hampered by the threat radiation: today was scheduled to move from the fire trucks to electric pumps to inject water into the reactor to speed up and avoid thus further delay.
The loss of sources of harmful material remain to be identified. To reinforce the concerns come the words of the head of the IAEA, the International Atomic Energy Agency, according to which the crisis could last another Japanese plant weeks if not months. "We are still far from the end of the incident," said Yukiya Amano, interviewed by The New York Times.
In this situation, government sources in Tokyo facing a general reflection on the matter: "The priority now is to resolve the emergency Fukushima, then you must follow a wide-ranging review on nuclear power," say about the role and powers of the Authority sector in Japan that does not mean the same operators, including TEPCO, which operates the plant in Fukushima.
Will be part of the reflection operators, more so after the act and these measures are not always clear from the nature and appropriate fielded by TEPCO, the first utility in the country. Indeed precisely with the company, the same sources have admitted that "there were some misunderstandings." The drama of Fukushima led the Japanese antinuclear movement mobilization.
Hundreds of people took to the streets today in Nagoya in the center of the country, and in Tokyo to demand the abandonment of nuclear power plants. In a country where demonstrations of this kind have always been rare and not very participatory, at least 300 demonstrators gathered in Nagoya responding to students concerned about the situation.
"We do not want another Fukushima," chanted the protesters demanding the closure of the Hamaoka plant located 120 kilometers from Nagoya, on the south coast of Honshu, and also to earthquake risk. In Tokyo, about 300 people marched in upmarket Ginza chanting slogans like "We do not need nuclear power."
