On Sunday, the cooling system at a third reactor at the Fukushima plant was reported to be malfunctioning as well and at risk of exploding much the way a sister reactor did Saturday because of hydrogen build-up, Edano said in an afternoon press briefing. Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan instructed the president of Toshiba Corp., the maker of the damaged reactors, to assist in the crisis at the plant, the Kyodo agency reported. The International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna said it was told by Japanese officials that they would distribute iodine tablets to residents near the plant. Iodine is known to protect against thyroid cancer that can develop from radiation poisoning. |

It's been like a suicide bomber wearing grenades around his belt," said Katsuhiko Ishibashi, a professor emeritus at Kobe University. Ishibashi served on a committee setting safety guidelines for Japan's nuclear reactors in 2005, but resigned because he felt people weren't heeding his warnings about the potential for a disaster. In 2007, another nuclear plant, Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, suffered serious damage in an earthquake. Since Friday's quake, a dozen of the country's reactors have been shut down, sharply reducing the power supply to the country. Authorities have been urging civilians to conserve power during the crisis. |
