The Radiation Levels at Fukushima Dai-ichi was Stable

To this time, radiation levels at these locations are in stable level. According to the UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), "the radiation located at the level of that does not endanger human health."


HOT NEWS - The workers of Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) at Fukushima Dai-ichi, managed to distribute electrical current to one of the reactors. Radiation levels also have declined, but they are still worried because the others of the pressure in the reactor casing started rising.

As disclosed by the news station CNN, in Monday, March 21, 2011, the workers are now working to ensure the electrical current within 24 hours can be used to power the reactor cooling system on the unit of two. This reactor is one of three reactors that exploded due to a damaged cooling system..

To this day, radiation levels at these locations are in stable level. According to the UN International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), "the radiation located at the level of that does not endanger human health."

However, the radiation levels seems will more increase along with efforts to reduce the pressure in the reactor unit of three. As said by workers at the scene, this time they were observing the pressure in the reactor unit of three which has been increasing.

An unnamed worker said that if the pressure at the three units more increase, they will release the gas from the steel and concrete casing surrounding the reactors. The Gas which released containing radioactive substances that will increase the radiation level in the air.

Meanwhile, efforts to cool down by spraying the sea water into the reactor is still being conducted.

Fukushima reactor is in the crisis since the Richter scale 9 earthquake and tsunami on Friday, March 11, 2011. As a result of this disaster, power failure and defective cooling. Three active reactor exploded during the cooling process. The Japanese government deployed military helicopters to pour sea water into the upper of the reactor.

In addition, the cooling pump system and the police deployed water cannon  are participating to cool the reactor. Radiation levels at the location reached an alarming level, hundreds of thousands of residents evacuated to a radius of 20 km. More than it, they are recomended to remain in the house
