Nuclear Disaster fury rising
Japan to raise the level of crisis in its nuclear reactor that suffered damage that is equivalent to levels experienced disaster in Chernobyl tragedy. The increase in the level of nuclear disaster crisis is characterized by the spread of radiation to the air, drinking water, vegetables and sea water.
Japan's nuclear regulatory agency sets the level of nuclear disaster is increased from 5 to 7 or international scale the highest level observed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This provision was taken after a review of radiation leakage from the reactor Dai-chi since the reactor does not operate pascaterjangan tsunami on 11 March.
According to the IAEA, the rate of expansion marks the latest disaster with catastrophic consequences greater than the previous level and includes the impact of broader health.However, the Japanese government has so far rule out any health effects due to radioactive leaks from nuclear reactors Fukushima.
Some Japanese officials stressed the leak was only reached one-tenth of the radiation that spread the Chernobyl disaster. However, they explain this leakage can exceed the emission of Chernobyl when the nuclear crisis in Japan is continuing.
"An increase in the spread of nuclear holocaust emphasize disaster. We apologize profusely to the people who settled in the vicinity of a nuclear reactor complex and the international community on this serious disaster," said Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan's Yuki Edano told reporters in Tokyo on Tuesday (12 / 4 / 2011).
The explosion of a nuclear reactor in Chernobyl, Ukraine, on 26 April 1986 caused a cloud of radiation in most of the northern hemisphere. Zone which is located about 30 kilometers from the reactor had been declared no longer a place to live despite the fact that some reactor workers settled there in time is not long and hundreds of residents returned to the region although the Government of Ukraine urged residents to stay away.
World Health Organization, WHO, explain around 9300 people died due to cancer caused by radiation in the Chernobyl disaster. While some environmental groups, including Greenpeace, estimates that number 10 times larger.
