Japanese Army helicopters were able to pour a large amount of water on two of the reactors at the Fukushima nuclear power plant to cool the fuel, which threatens to enter merger. Apparatus, type CH-47 Chinook, flying over the central and threw four times seven thousand 500 liters of water into the reactors 3 and 4 damaged by the earthquake last Friday.
However, authorities reported last night the white smoke out of the reactors, which so far do not know if water vapor inside them and could be radioactive. The plant, operated by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), has accumulated a number of serious problems was generated from natural disaster.
This maneuver aims to prevent spent fuel from the reactor 4-currently out of the water, causing a major accident. Tepco operators reported that radiation around the plant have decreased slightly up to 292 microsieverts 20 points (measuring unit of absorbed radiation dose). Company spokespeople said they plan to stop work today in reactors to sprinkle again with salt water from helicopters.
As a measure, the pilots are under orders not to remain static to avoid being exposed to the effects of large amounts of radiation from the fly complex. Japanese officials warned that they hope to achieve soon connect power to end the chaos in the country. For its part, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said the situation at the nuclear plant in Japan is "very serious" but it does not seem to be deteriorating.
A senior official of the UN nuclear agency said the problem has not worsened, but stressed that at this time could change quickly, both to improve, to become the worst disaster.
