Japanese Prime Minister, Naoto Kan on Wednesday ordered a ban on milk and vegetables from the prefectures of Fukushima and Ibaraki (northeast) due to high levels of radioactivity resulting from nuclear Fukushima. Kan asked people not to eat the vegetables in which abnormal radioactivity was detected, especially spinach, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower.
Further ordered that the green leafy vegetables and raw milk Fukushima and Ibaraki parsley are not sold by now. Radioactive substances in excess of the legal standards were detected in eleven vegetables in areas near the troubled Japanese nuclear plant in Fukushima, said the Ministry of Health.
It was also found in contaminated raw milk Ibaraki Prefecture, the ministry said. The company operating the nuclear plant in Fukushima, Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO), was able to connect electricity to the reactor control room three, which will facilitate the cooling of the unit, Kyodo news agency reported today.
TEPCO workers try today to restore the functions of the reactor one, two, three and four, after which on Tuesday were able to build external power cables to the six central units Fukushima Daiichi. Although the cables are already stretched to reactivate the power supply can take several days because first you have to check the status of all instruments and engines to avoid a short circuit that would further complicate the work of operators.
According to public broadcaster NHK, will today try to revive power reactor in at least three, which would allow it to work the system drive cooling and storing nuclear fuel pool. Tonight was reactivated electricity in the control room of reactor 3, good news for the workers who struggle day and night to control the situation on the ground.
TEPCO employees, along with military and fire crews moved from Tokyo and Osaka, strive for twelve days to prevent the nuclear fuel temperature Fukushima Daiichi plant is triggered and emits high amounts of radioactivity. The nuclear plant was badly damaged because of the strong earthquake measuring 9 on the Richter scale occurred on June 11 in northeastern Japan, causing some nine thousand 200 people dead and more than 13 000 700 missing.
