Barcelona (Editorial) .- By land and air. With military helicopters and tankers. Workers, soldiers and police have been played on Wednesday life throwing tons of seawater in a desperate attempt to cool the reactor number 3 of the Fukushima Plant (northeastern Japan), emitting high levels of radiation.
According to TEPCO, the company that operates the plant, attempts have not been in vain and has managed to introduce at least some water in nuclear fuel pools. After this operation, the operator has indicated that it has identified major changes in radiation levels around the plant, despite the steam that rose from the fuel pool.
In this sense, the situation at the plant, according to the International Energy Agency (IAEA), remains "very serious", although it has not worsened in recent hours. The Japanese Government says no plans to expand the evacuation area beyond the prescribed 20 mile radius of the plant in Fukushima.
Nuclear Security Agency of Japan stressed that the priority is to cool enough water reactors 3 and 4, which presents the most serious problems, especially its nuclear fuel pools.
