Mihama power plant (Japan): 9 August 2004. Five people die in an accident at the plant in the Fukui province (INES Level 1). Seven people are also injured when hot water and steam leaks from a broken pipe. Officials insist that no radiation leaked from the plant, and there is no danger to the surrounding area.
Thanks for posting your query. Sciatic nerve is a major nerve of the leg. It has both sensory and motor supply. If the sciatic nerve is deadened, the nerve supply of muscles will also be affected and it will cause problem in walking. It can also make you lose the bladder and bowel control. It is best to go for a lumbar traction and physiotherapy to decrease the nerve compression.
If the sciatic nerve is irritated, then these sensory fibres can get involved and can't do their job properly. This leads to the changes in feeling that happen with a pinched nerve. Aside from severe pain (which is a very nasty change in feeling) the other very common symptoms of sciatica are numbness and tingling in the feet and legs. If the nerve is particularly irritated and the motor fibres are involved you can have tingling, numbness and weakness in the legs.
