Japanese Plant operators Brace for the continuation of aftershocks - voice of America

VOA News, April 14, 2011 The crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power plant is seen in Fukushima Prefecture in this undated handout photo released by Tokyo Electric Power Co, 14 Apr 2011 the crippled Central Fukushima Daiichi nuclear is perceived in Fukushima Prefecture in this undated photo released by Tokyo Electric Power Co, April 14, 2011

The operators of the nuclear plant of Fukushima at the Japan say that they will be equipment for land higher after a series of strong aftershocks that have impeded efforts to repair the paralyzed installation.

The last strong earthquake came at about 6 o'clock in the morning, local time Thursday, with a magnitude of 6.1. It is the fourth aftershock since Monday with a magnitude of 6 or more and the 14th with a magnitude greater than 5. Hundreds of aftershocks have rattled - northeast coast of the Japan since the earthquake of 9.0 massive and tsunami March 11 which eliminated the plant cooling systems.

Officials with the Tokyo Electric Power Company, said Thursday they are strengthening the national electrical network connections to ensure that they have the power to pump water in the plant reactors and cooling ponds. A spokesman said generators and other equipment are transferred to a higher ground to protect themselves against another tsunami.

Workers at the plant are also seeking a way to remove the fuel rods irradiated in a pond in storage at the reactor number 4 of the plant, where high radiation levels were detected in the water. Officials, said Wednesday that radiation levels suggest that some of the stems were damaged, although most are probably intact.

Technicians were able to more than 250 tons of water highly radioactive from tunnel side of the pump power reactors on Wednesday, an essential step before that they can return to work on the repair of vital unit cooling systems. But NHK Japanese television said the water level in the tunnel had increased again Thursday morning, suggesting that the water is still leaks in the tunnel of the reactor.

NHK cited by the representatives of the factory as saying radiation levels in the Ocean near the factory have dropped dramatically since a leak was plugged last week, but are still high. The last reading found radioactive iodine to 2500 limit legal, compared to 7.5 million times the limit on 2 April.

The network also reported that recent Health Department tests found radiation 25 times the legal limit in fish caught in the South of the nuclear power plant Wednesday, and this radioactivity has been detected on 11 kinds of vegetables in Fukushima Monday Prefecture.

The number of victims of the March 11 disaster continues to increase, with the Agency of the national police of Japan reports more than 13,300 confirmed dead and more than 15 000 missing.

Press Agency Kyodo du Japan said many of the victims is dead when the officially designated evacuation sites were submerged or washed away by the tsunami, who has been raised as a three-storey building when it struck the coast. The Agency said it has identified more than 100 sites of evacuation is not to resist the wave.
