Feb. 2012 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant news


The Fukushima disaster is far from over. 4 reactors have been continuously leaking the radiation into the environment since March 11 last year. There are over 100,000 tons of highly toxic radioactive water is left in the site. 3 reactors had meltdown. Because of very high radiation level near those reactors, no human can get near to them, that means they can only guess where had the melted fuel gone and in what shape. Reactor 4 is the most worrying, especially since series of size 4 magnitude earthquakes happened at the beginning of this year.
Higher radiation was detected around that time. Now it’s in the middle of winter we hear news about leaking pipes that were erupted by the frozen weather. (Feb. 5, 2012)
