Un ouvrier qui avait travaillé sur le site de la centrale nucléaire de Fukushima, une semaine après la catastrophe de l’an dernier, s’est aperçu que son taux de globules blancs a fortement augmenté, rapporte le quotidien japonais l' Asahi Shimbun . Or il ne portait pas de dosimètre, et cet homme dans la trentaine s’inquiète de ce qu’un éventuel futur cancer soit reconnu comme maladie professionnelle. Tepco, l’opérateur de la centrale, indique que 7.766 personnes ont travaillé sur le site de Fukushima n° 1 entre le 15 mars et le 31 mars 2011, dont 3.077 (39,6%) n’avaient pas de dosimètre.

If you are one of the many people who believe that accidents at nuclear facilities are a thing of the past, think again. A friend passed along some information that France’s Tricastin nuclear facility has been temporarily closed after approximately 30 cubic meters (75 kilograms) of liquid containing unenriched uranium spilled from an overflowing reservoir. The liquid seeped into the ground and also reached the Gaffiere and Lauzon rivers.
The emergency appeared to be the worst involving a nuclear plant since the Chernobyl disaster 25 years ago.
UPDATE 8: 9.48pm GMT
As of 2:30 pm EST Friday 3/11/11: The massive earthquake off the northeast coast of Japan has caused a potentially catastrophic situation at one of Japan’s nuclear power plants. The situation is still evolving, but here is a preliminary assessment based on the facts as we currently understand them. The plant’s owner, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), reported that at 2:46 p.m. local time (12:46 a.m. EST) “turbines and reactors of Tokyo Electric Power Company’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 … and Units 2 and 3 … automatically shut down due to the Miyagiken-oki Earthquake.” These reactors are 3 of the 6 operating reactors at the Fukushima I nuclear facility.
