each passing day, the Japanese government increased the number of fatalities caused by the biggest earthquake in the history of the island. The last figure speaks of 10,019 dead and a total of 17,541 missing. In all this there is a radioactive accident that took place at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, which he said Prime Minister Naoto Kan, remains in a precarious state.

In all this there is a radioactive accident that took place at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, which he said Prime Minister Naoto Kan, remains in a precarious state.
Thus, the major problems are still present in the reactor number 3. Although it has ruled out having a crack, the core of the reactor is maintained at high temperatures, for which even the U.S. military has offered its assistance in the water to help cool it.
addition, the area where there have been high levels of pollution has increased, encompassing and the prefectures of Fukushima, Ibaraki, Chiba, Saitama and Tochigi. Also, the radius of evacuation, which had previously been set at 20 km around the plant, spread 10 kilometers, while thousands of residents still refuse to leave their homes. The government asked to go to shelters, as they have done more than 200 thousand people. While environmental authorities in Tokyo denied that the radiation levels remain high, and said the water was in good condition to be consumed, thousands of people have emptied supermarkets of mineral water, and thousands more have gone of the capital to seek refuge in other cities in the south of the island. area Several countries have suspended imports from Japan, including Russia, Singapore, USA and Australia, which in recent hours have been added Korea and China. In an airport in the latter, where a plane arrived from Tokyo, the Chinese found high levels of radiation in two of the passengers, who are currently under medical treatment.
Thanks to the efficient state of the Japanese, many of the roads destroyed by the earthquake and are repaired, and is working hard to restore electricity and telephone connections to households, although 660mil families are without drinking water and at least 200mil without access to electricity.
