Fukushime Nuclear Plant Explosion, No Damage at Nuclear Storage

Fukushima, Japan - The operator of nuclear reactors affected by earthquake shocks says that the place where the reactor was not damaged despite the huge explosion at the Fukushima plant.

Cabinet Secretary of Japan Yukio Edano, explain the level of radiation near Fukushima reactor operated by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has been reduced after the explosion although there are fears the possibility of nuclear leakage after the earthquake and tsunami on Friday.

Edano said: "We decided to flush the reactor storage area with sea water to reduce risk as quickly as possible."

The blast spread debris and clouds of smoke from a nuclear power plant on Saturday, which triggered fears of a radioactive leak a day after a powerful earthquake rocked the cooling system.

Previously said nuclear emergency, the government ordered thousands of people who lived within a radius of 20 kilometers from the Fukushima reactor should go.

Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Explosion, Peoples Radiation

Fukushima, Tokyo - Three people in Japan exposed to radiation after the evacuation of the city near the nuclear plant after the earthquake the earth.

"Three people were randomly selected for inspection from about 90 in-patients transferred from hospital in the town of Futaba-machi," said NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai).

Patients are waiting for rescuers in the field school for a long time outside. Then transferred by helicopter during the explosion of a nuclear installation Fukushima, NHK said.

This explosion causes smoke gush from the nuclear power plant (NPP). This causes fear and possible ruin a day after a large earthquake on the cooling system installation.

The government declared an emergency situation and told tens of thousands of atoms that people living within a radius of 20 kilometers of the plant must leave immediately. Operators of nuclear power plant said that confining the reactor container is not damaged even though there is an explosion.
