Japanese government spokesman, Yukio Edan, said that high levels of radiation detected in parts of the turbine building of the reactor 2 were caused by nuclear fuel rods partially melted. Edan said at a news conference that partial melting was also temporary, but has caused the water that flooded parts of the turbine building of unit 2 record high levels of radioactivity and hinder the work of operators.
This Sunday is detected levels of 1,000 millisievert when the reactor 2, which was afraid of how damaging the reactor core or in the pipes that carry radioactive water from the turbines and the core. Meanwhile, the number of plant employees who have been exposed to radiation levels above 100 milisiervert increased to 19, reported Kyodo news agency quoted sources of TEPCO.
TEPCO is trying to eliminate the radioactive water as soon as possible to reduce the risk of exposure of more operators. To do this, workers need access to the reactor overheated in order to restore the cooling system. The company made a mistake in measuring the radioactivity of water within that unit, the Japanese official spokesman described as "unacceptable" the management of information is made Tepco, operator of the Fukushima Daiichi plant during the nuclear crisis.
Edan also asked at a press conference that people living within the exclusion zone of 20 km around Fukushima Daiichi not return home because of continuing high levels of radiation. On Sunday, the Japanese government said it would consider residents to return temporarily to their homes to collect belongings.
