Radiation fears after Japan
PLEASE KEEP A CLOSE
WATCH ON THE NEWS ON EFFECTS IN YOUR AREA
Radiation from
The warning comes after the
plant was rocked by a third blast which appears to have damaged one of the
reactors' containment vessels for the first time.
If it is breached, there are
fears of more serious radioactive leaks.
The crisis was sparked by a
9.0-magnitude quake and tsunami on Friday.
'Don't go outside'
On Tuesday morning, reactor 2
became the third to explode in four days at the Fukushima Daiichi plant - 250km
(155 miles) north-east of Tokyo.
Officials have
extended the danger zone, warning residents within 30km (18 miles) to evacuate
or stay indoors.

Radiation levels drop at
Japanese plant
"The level has come down
to the level to cause no harm to human health, according to the report I have
received," Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano
told reporters, describing reading taken at the plant's front gate.
Edano said readings at the gate at 3:30 p.m.
(2:30 a.m. ET) were 596.4 microsieverts per hour --
compared to a high reading of 11,930 microsieverts
per hour at 9 a.m (8 p.m. ET Monday).
"We have to monitor the
situation closely, but the high concentration of radioactive material is not
emitting constantly from the No. 4 reactor right now," he said.
But it was unclear whether an
explosion and fire earlier had allowed dangerous radioactive material to
escape.
