TOKYO - They survived for nine days under the rubble of their home in Ishinomaki, a city gate by the earthquake and tsunami of 11 March. And now they see the light. A small sign of hope for the devastated areas of the country comes from the story of a woman of 80 years, Sumi Abe, Jin and his nephew, 16 years.
Polishes and virtually unscathed, the two were found by rescuers who have rescued. But the grandmother and grandson of one of the few stories with happy endings because the death toll continues to rise: police records speak of Japan's 8,450 confirmed dead, while the number of missing is 12,931 people.
But only in the prefecture of Miyagi, the local police has suggested 15,000 victims. Meanwhile, the technicians are at work in Fukushima to restore the power supply. VIDEO VIDEO Salvi nine days after the beach before and after MAP What happened in Fukushima displaced persons. More than 360 000 displaced people.
Many are welcomed in the shelters set up in public buildings, but in many cases still lack electricity and heating. The 100 thousand soldiers and other rescuers are fighting against time to provide medicines, blankets, clothes, food. But the situation remains critical. Meanwhile, large Tazebao hosting package with requests for information on missing persons, especially children and the elderly.
Fukushima, slight improvement. They did not stop for a while even today the engineers and soldiers to try to avert a Fukushima nuclear risks. Seven of them were "contaminated" by radiation, but the dedication he has shown has led to some positive results. After connecting the emergency cooling system of units 1 and 2 in electrical wiring, today launched the power supply and have the pump from the reactor 2, by which they hope to cool the fuel rods in the core and the pool of spent fuel.
Then, if there were no hitches - some may be due to the use of sea water - try to reactor 1. Minor concerns are of the reactors 5 and 6, who were standing at the time of the tsunami and are temperature stable. They are the reactors 3 and 4, with their tanks for spent fuel, to worry more.
Even today, the soldiers were forced to intervene in the reactor 4 jets of water from special tankers. 3 instead of the reactor there was a sudden increase in internal pressure. The nuclear plant will not reopen. Should no longer be in production the central Fukushima 1. Broke the news today, government spokesman Yukio Edan: "Assessing the situation objectively, I think it seems clear that Fukushima-1 can no longer be put back into operation." The plant, 250 kilometers northeast of Tokyo, has almost forty years of operation.
It lowers the level radioactivity, but the rain is scary. As for the radioactivity, we report improvements. At 500 meters from the reactor 2 were recorded this morning for hours microsievert 2625 compared to 3443 microsievert yesterday. But levels are still high, so that the authorities have ordered the transfer of the 120 patients of Minami Soma.
And in the rain in Tokyo was found the presence of radioactive substances. Concern the news of the presence of radioactive traces in spinach and milk even though in all cases, these amounts do not represent any danger to human health. Tomorrow will tell you whether the government has decided to block the export of certain foodstuffs.
The visit of the Prime Minister. Naoto Kan will visit tomorrow a structure about 20 km from the nuclear power plant in Fukushima n1, behind the line of demarcation for the evacuation of the risks of radioactivity. Khan will travel to the J-Village, "a school consisting of 11 football fields now used by firefighters and other rescuers involved in an emergency at the plant.
The government has ordered the evacuation from areas within 20 km of the plant, and asked to leave the area from 20 to 30 kilometers, or otherwise, to stay at home. The Prime Minister will also travel to Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture, to meet the survivors of the earthquake and tsunami.
Extraordinary meeting of Council of EU energy ministers. Tomorrow in Brussels there will be an extraordinary meeting of EU energy ministers. On the table, the developments in Japan, with reference to nuclear and strategic choices for the future, but also the climate of uncertainty that threatens to cripple other oil-producing countries.
The European countries are in fact faced with the complicated mix triggered by the crisis in Japan and the Libyan esclation with the military, which may put at risk, even in the medium term, oil and gas supplies from North Africa.
