Barcelona (Editorial) .- Fukushima nuclear plant concentrates all the concerns in Japan and also in the rest of the world. Of developments in reactors, which suffered severe damage following the magnitude 9 earthquake and subsequent tsunami on March 11, depends the future of the region. For now, the reactor of more concern is the number 3.
Closed after the earthquake, refrigeration systems fail and fears a partial core melt. Yesterday registratron high levels of radiation in the building, seriously injured after a hydrogen explosion. As for units 1 and 2, which also closed automatically after the earthquake, its evolution is not disappointing.
The buildings that house them also have significant damage. Traders say that No. 2 on 33% of the nucleus is damaged by partial melting. In 1 the figure rises to 70%. For its part, the reactors 4 and 5 are turned off for maintenance during the earthquake. In the fuel storage tank of the first fire occurred on Tuesday that 24 hours later was revived and it was decided to shut down the reactor.
In the second, the number 5, the temperature increases slightly.
