In a press conference, the minister spokesman Yukio Edan, said the blast, which also damaged the steel shell that protects the reactor, was due to a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen and said it has lowered the level of radioactivity in the area.
Environmentalists warn that the radioactive dose Fukushima cause "errors" in workers
MADRID. .- Ecologists in Action has warned that the situation in reactors 1 and 2 of the central Fukushima (Japan) is "very serious" and that the dose of radioactivity that must endure the plant workers will increase stress and cause "errors ". The nuclear plant has six reactors Fuskushima boiling water in operation and two more under construction, also in boiling water.
Reactors 1 and 2, suffering from serious problems, became operational on 26 March 1971 and July 18, 1974, respectively, and have electrical power of 460 MW and 784 MW. This association has pointed out that I Fukushima reactor is "similar" to the nuclear power Garoña (Burgos). In the central boiling water steam is extracted from the containment dome some pipes that run through several central units to reach the turbines, where electricity is generated.

Japan's nuclear agency ruled out damage to the armor of nuclear reactor in Fukushima
Tokyo. .- Japan's nuclear agency ruled out that the explosion this morning at a Fukushima nuclear plant damaged the structure of the reactor protection, sources of the organization's official news agency Kyodo. "Any damage to the protection of the reactor is highly unlikely," he was quoted as saying.
However, as a new preventive measure, the evacuation area for the two nuclear plants in Fukushima has been extended to 20 kilometers after the explosion this morning at a power plant, according to state broadcaster NHK. The experts consulted believe that the damage could be minimal if the blast did not open the interior of reactor.
