Fukushima reactor operators still have to work hard to deal with the crisis nuklirJepang melipatduakan nuclear radiation estimates that out of the Fukushima NUCLEAR complex in the first week after the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami.Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (Nisa) now says 770000 terabecquerel apart into the atmosphere after the cataclysm of 11 March – more than double the estimates announced earlier 370000 terabecquerel.
Although estimates that only 15% of the overall radiation out of the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl in Ukraine in 1986, the worst nuclear disaster in the world, the number indicates that the contamination in the area around Fukushima NUCLEAR PLANTS is worse than previously thought, says BBC reporter Roland Buerk in Tokyo.
Japan's nuclear safety agency also said the melting occurred in three of the reactor more quickly than previously believed.
According to Nisa, melting is causing damage to the reactor No. 2 after 80 hours, and reactor No. 3 79 after tsunami crashing system cooling NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS.
Revised estimates radiasia, issued three months after the crisis started to happen, it might be mempergencar criticism in Japan that the Government and the operators of the STATE too slow in publishing information, says our correspondent.
The new estimate was announced when the panel of experts began a nuclear crisis on the investigation of Fukushima.
Fukushima nuclear reactor Operator, Tepco, hoping to close the atomic energy facility at the latest in January, though there are concerns the time it takes longer.
PTLN is also still having leak radiation.
More than 80,000 residents who live within a radius of 20 km from NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS have been evacuated from their residence. The provisions of the voluntary evacuation policies in the region within a radius of 20-30 km of the NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS.
Some small towns that are further away from NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS are also affected.
The Secretary of the Cabinet of Japan Yukio Edano said the evacuation of an advanced central consideration.
Monitoring shows the topography of the terrain and wind patterns may cause hoarding of radiation in other areas.
