Japan Nuclear Crisis: Japanese Efforts Fail to Stabilize Plant; U.S. Water Pumps Might Be the Answer. <br/><a href=" US News</a> | <a href=" Business News</a> Copy The Japanese are looking to the U.S. for help after frantic efforts to cool the overheating Fukushima Daiichi nuclear reactors and fuel ponds have failed to bring the plant under control.
There is hope that water pumps the U.S. is sending could help to avert disaster. The entire crisis began when the plant lost power after last week's 9.0 earthquake and tsunami. Plant operators have now connected a new power line that could restore electricity. The Pentagon has shipped in the pumps, but no U.S. personnel. The power line, if it works, might help in the effort to cool the reactors, but not the fuel ponds. "From what I see they are working to get electricity back to the site so that they can restart the backup cooling pumps. Today, in new video, close-ups of reactors three and four were visible for the first time. The situation at reactor three is very similar.
Earthquakes. Japan earthquake: Tsunami hits north-east. Japan's most powerful earthquake since records began has struck the north-east coast, triggering a massive tsunami.
Cars, ships and buildings were swept away by a wall of water after the 8.9-magnitude tremor, which struck about 400km (250 miles) north-east of Tokyo. A state of emergency has been declared at a nuclear power plant, where pressure has exceeded normal levels. Officials say 350 people are dead and about 500 missing, but it is feared the final death toll will be much higher. In one ward alone in Sendai, a port city in Miyagi prefecture, 200 to 300 bodies were found.
The quake was the fifth-largest in the world since 1900 and nearly 8,000 times stronger than the one which devastated Christchurch, New Zealand, last month, said scientists. Thousands of people living near the Fukushima nuclear power plant have been ordered to evacuate. Officials said they might need to deliberately release some radioactive steam to relieve pressure, but that there would be no health risk. Japan Nuclear Plant situation. Abama tornadoes: DeKalb County path of destruction 25 miles long. RAINSVILLE, Alabama -- DeKalb County rescue workers and law enforcement pulled more bodies from the rubble of homes Thursday, bringing the death toll to at least 32 in this northeast Alabama County from a deadly twister that struck Wednesday.
