Fukushima Reactor Workers Evacuated as Very High Radiation

TOKYO -- Emergency workers struggling to pump contaminated water from Japan's stricken nuclear complex fled from one of the troubled reactors Sunday after reporting a huge increase in radioactivity - a spike that officials later apologetically said was inaccurate.The apology came after employees fled the complex's Unit 2 reactor when a reading showed

radiation levels had reached 10 million times higher than normal in the reactor's cooling system. Officials said they were so high that the worker taking the measurements had withdrawn before taking a second reading.

Workers evacuated from the reactor while the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant No. 2 on the day Minggu27 March 2011 after very high radiation detected in the water.

This was reported Jiji Press and reported by AFP. Meanwhile, Reuters reported, Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co., said 10 million times more radiation than normal levels detected in the water that accumulates on the reactor turbine house number 2.

An official at Tepco said the turbine house pekerjameninggalkan reactor to prevent radiation exposure.
While the BBC reported, Fukushima nuclear reactor operator sharply criticized because votes are not transparent in facing the crisis of radiation leaks and failed to protect workers.

The Japanese government said that Electricity Company Tokyo Electric Power Co., should be more correct in giving information. Japanese atomic agency also stated that the Fukushima nuclear power plant operators have made several mistakes including uniforms worn by its employees.

UN nuclear agency, IAEA, has sent an additional team to Fukushima reactor for nuclear leaks overcome this crisis. Director of the IAEA, Yukiya Amano told the New York Times that this crisis could last for weeks, even months.
