The level of radioactivity recorded on Saturday in a control room of reactor No. 1 of the Fukushima nuclear power plant 1, in northeastern Japan, is a thousand times above normal, according to Kyodo news agency, quoting a commission security. Japanese Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, ordered the inhabitants to evacuate the area within a radius of 10 km around the plant, due to the risk of radioactive leaks, according to the Jiji news agency, citing the Ministry of Industry.
The Fukushima No. 1 plant is operated by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) and feeds power to part of the capital. It is located about 250 km north of Tokyo. Public broadcaster NHK said the level of radioactivity outside the plant is about eight times higher than normal but not dangerous for health, for the moment.
