Vienna. .- Japan tries to contain an uncontrolled nuclear explosion in one of five reactors at the Fukushima nuclear plant 1, whose cooling systems damaged by the earthquake last Friday. The Government has taken that part of the core of the reactors 1 and 3 has entered merger - the IAEA has confirmed - as their top priority is that of "absolute security." An uncontrolled explosion of the sarcophagus that contains the reactor could trigger sonsecuencias very similar to the Chernobyl accident (1986).
Therefore, from this morning how cool seawater try these two reactors and a third who have risen to much higher temperatures than permitted. Besides this, the Japanese authorities have declared a state of emergency for another nuclear plant, atomic Onagawa due to the high levels of radioactivity, reported today the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Japan informed the IAEA that the nuclear plant operator in Onagawa, Tohoku Electric Power Company, has set the alert level one, the lowest of the scale, following the devastating earthquake last Friday in Japan. For now, the official number killed and missing is about 2300 people, but there will be many more because there are ten thousand missing only in one village.
It is estimated that the evacuees at the perimeter of the two plants - which yesterday was extended first to 10 km and then to 20 in Fukishima 1 - could be around 200,000, but around the country about 400,000 people.
