The three employees in the damaged nuclear power plant in Fukushima who were exposed to extremely high radiation doses in a water worked, said the operator Tepco, values of radioactivity was 10,000 times higher than normal. Measuring these levels aims, according to the Nuclear Security Agency of Japan, the possibility that the fuel rods in the reactor 3 of the plant is damaged.
A spokesman for the agency said Japan that water containing radiation may come from the reactor core, so it "can not rule out" that you damage the containment vessel but insisted "it is premature to offer conclusions." The company that manages the plant and the repair work has reached the same conclusion.
The affected workers on 24 in the reactor core 3 of the Fukushima I, where trying to repair cables to restore the reactor cooling system. While doing their work not wearing protective boots, so that water with high radioactivity crossed them shoes. Two of the three workers with burns were taken to a special clinic.
This Friday will be transferred from Fukushima to Chiba city south of Tokyo, National Institute of Radiation Research. There will probably stay under observation for four days. The operator TEPCO said that during an inspection on Wednesday, 23 there was no water at the site where technicians then worked.
After the incident, the Agency for Nuclear and Industrial Safety in Japan urged the nuclear plant operator to ensure more effective protection against radiation. After learning this information, the Japanese government has asked citizens found within a radius of 20 kilometers of the nuclear power out of their homes.
The measure is not mandatory. To date, authorities have urged citizens Fukushima próximoa to stay in their homes without opening the windows or use air conditioning. Meanwhile, the number of confirmed deaths from the earthquake and tsunami that occurred on March 11 in northeast Japan has surpassed 10,000, exactly two weeks after the disaster, according to Kyodo news agency.
Specifically, the death toll rose to 10,035 people, while the missing are 17,443, according to the latest tally of Japan's police. Two weeks after the quake in the northeastern coast of Japan, the worst natural disaster after World War II, some 250,000 people reside in 1,900 temporary shelters and crisis must be resolved even nuclear plant in Fukushima.
The unusually cold weather that is recorded in the northeastern Japan, with temperatures below zero degrees Celsius this morning despite being well into spring, complicates the situation of the victims. According to official figures, in Miyagi province was 6,097 dead, 3,025 Iwate and Fukushima 855, while the missing number in the thousands in those areas most devastated by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami.
There are at least 18,000 homes destroyed and more than 130,000 buildings damaged, especially the coastal areas of northeastern Japan. Since the severe earthquake on Friday 11, in Japan there have been 700 replies and almost every day there is a quake of more than 6 on the Richter scale, which usually has its epicenter off the coast of the three most affected provinces.
