Several workers were evacuated on Sunday morning at the
Fukushima nuclear plant after the level of radioactivity
exceeded 10 million times the normal. The water used to cool the
reactor number two was found extremely high amounts of particles
of radioactive iodine. Measured in samples from the water, found
in the basement of the turbine hall located behind the reactor
is milisievert 1,000 per hour, said a spokesman for Tokyo
Electric Power Company (TEPCO). “This figure is ten million
times greater than the radioactivity found in water in a reactor
generally in good condition,” he explained. According to him,
the fuel in the reactor core has probably suffered damage during
an onset of fusion, occurred immediately after an earthquake
followed by tsunami on 11 March. The intervention teams began to
use fresh water to cool reactors. This is because sea water that
used to accelerate corrosion and could now pose a threat. The
government in Tokyo has announced that the efforts of Japanese
workers at Fukushima Daiich
