The Government has confirmed that radiation levels in the prefectures of Fukushima (which is the damaged nuclear power plant) and Ibaragi (neighbor) are above safety standards. So has the health minister, who also reiterated that the milk from these areas may not be sold to the public. Meanwhile, the situation of reactors in Fukushima 1 is stabilized.
The latest news from the plant operators have confirmed to AP that 2 to 6 reactors are under control thanks to the cooling power of the fuel pools. This confirmation comes minutes after the Cabinet Secretary Vice President, Tetsuro Fukuyama, cited by, said that the situation is still "uncertain." As planned, the reactor 2 retold with electric current, as confirmed by the Japanese news agency Kyodo.
The power cable which worked for days will allow the reactor cooling pumps themselves, which were unusable because the earthquake and subsequent tsunami nine days ago the power cut. This connection also facilitates the cooling of the reactor 1, because, as sources have confirmed to Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the two reactors are connected.
Is expected to arrive today also cable reactors 3 and 4, as the Government moved yesterday. On the other hand, the reactors 5 and 6 have already entered into cold shutdown, a term used to describe the complete shutdown of the reactor and that means that there is no danger of a meltdown, as reported by the Japanese agency Kyodo.
Its cooling increased from Saturday thanks to diesel generators that were connected to the two reactors. Government spokesman Yukio Edan, has confirmed that the plant will be dismantled and Fukushima 1 disabled once you run out of operations to control the radiation. "If we look at the situation objectively (decommissioning) is clear," said Edan was quoted by Kyodo news agency.
The news comes after they have become today releasing radioactive gases into the atmosphere by increased pressure in the reactor 3, which later has been controlled, as is telling the New York Times. The incident occurred despite the team of military and civilian firefighters struggling to contain the temperature of the reactors have 14 hours blowing around 2,400 tons of seawater.
The government said yesterday that the reactor, which contains plutonium, which makes it more dangerous, was stabilized. Despite this difficulty, it seems that the nuclear crisis triggered by the earthquake of magnitude 9 on the Richter scale and resulting tsunami that hit the northeastern coast of Japan on Friday of last week has entered a new sound stage.
Several trucks have been released today for the first time tons of water to the pool with 4 reactor nuclear fuel plant in Fukushima, after a similar operation carried out until last night in the reactor 3, which seems to have served to cool bars fuel. "The situation is stabilizing somewhat," said Yukio Edan, government spokesman.
Meanwhile food radiation, nuclear concern has reached the food chain. The Government said yesterday that it had detected radiation in fresh and running water, but warned that the levels pose no health risk. Fukushima Prefecture, has been found contaminated milk. In neighboring Ibaraki Prefecture spinach have been identified with radiation that exceeds the limits set by the Government.
While technicians Fukushima struggling to avoid a catastrophe, more than 450,000 people left homeless by the earthquake and tsunami are still living in schools and other shelters under difficult conditions. According to the latest tally, the natural disaster caused more than 20,000 dead or missing.
By now there are 8,450 confirmed deaths, but the agency Kyodo said that, according to police sources, could be more than 15,000 casualties only count on the Miyagi Prefecture. The possibility of worsening nuclear crisis and causing a toxic cloud has led to foreign residents in Tokyo to leave the capital and go south of the country or out of Japan, so that they have exhausted air tickets to some destinations.
Spanish plane for this situation, the Spanish Government made available to its nationals in Japan, a Boeing 747, which is scheduled to leave Tokyo today at 9 pm (eight hours behind mainland Spain) to "facilitate return "to Spain who are interested. Only 150 people travel in the plane, according to sources have confirmed the Embassy.
Embassy spokesmen insisted that "it is not an evacuation but rather to facilitate the return" to those who want to return to Spain and could not do it. In Japan there are about 1,800 registered Spanish consulate. If you add those who are not registered and found the way, the Spanish figure is around 2,500, the report said.
