[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 143784, member: 35"] [B]Radiation fears after Japan blast[/B] Radiation from Japan's quake-stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has reached harmful levels, the government says. The warning comes after the plant was rocked by a third blast, which appears to have damaged one of the reactors' containment systems for the first time. If it is breached, there are fears of more serious radioactive leaks. Officials have extended the danger zone, warning residents within 30km (18 miles) to evacuate or stay indoors. The government later said that radiation levels at the plant's main gate had fallen sharply. The crisis has been prompted by last Friday's 9.0-magnitude quake and tsunami in north-eastern Japan. On Tuesday morning, reactor 2 became the third to explode in four days at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. A fire also briefly broke out at reactor 4, and is believed to have caused radioactive leaks. Reactor 4 had been shut down before the quake for maintenance, but its spent nuclear fuel rods are still stored on the site. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said they were closely watching the remaining two reactors at the plant, five and six, as they had begun overheating slightly. He said cooling seawater was being pumped into reactors one and three - which were returning to normal - and into reactor two, which remained unstable. There was a hydrogen blast in reactor 3 on Monday, following another in reactor 1 on Saturday. Radiation levels in the Japanese capital - 250km (155 miles) away - were reported to be higher than normal, but officials said there were no health dangers. Flights cancelled Tokyo residents have been stocking up on supplies, with some stores selling out of items such as food, water, face masks and candles. "Do not go outside” Housewife Mariko Kawase, 34, told AFP news agency: "I am shopping now because we may not be able to go out due to the radiation." Radiation levels in Chiba prefecture, next to Tokyo, were 10 times above normal levels, Kyodo News reports. In a televised address, Prime Minister Naoto Kan said: "There is still a very high risk of more radiation coming out." Homes sealed He said that 140,000 people living within between 20km (12 mile) and 30km of the plant were at risk and should not leave their homes. Some 70,000 residents within 20km have already been evacuated, and the premier urged anyone left in that exclusion zone to leave. "Now we are talking about levels that can impact human health," said the chief cabinet secretary. He told residents: "Please do not go outside. Please stay indoors. Please close windows and make your homes airtight. "Don't turn on ventilators. Please hang your laundry indoors." Japan also announced a 30-km no-fly zone around the plant to prevent planes spreading the radiation further afield. After Tuesday's blast, radiation dosages of up to 400 millisieverts per hour were recorded at the site. Rolling blackouts A single dose of 1,000 millisieverts causes temporary radiation sickness such as nausea and vomiting. Rolling blackouts would affect five million households on Tuesday, said Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco), which runs the 40-year-old plant. Japan's nuclear safety agency said earlier it suspected Tuesday's blast may have damaged reactor 2's suppression chamber. The BBC's Chris Hogg in Tokyo says that would make it a more serious incident than the previous explosions, which were thought just to have damaged the buildings housing the reactors. The latest official death toll from the quake and tsunami stands at about 2,400 - but some estimates suggest at least 10,000 may have been killed. Thousands are still unaccounted for - including hundreds of tourists - while many remote towns and villages have not been reached. More than 500,000 people have been made homeless. The government has deployed 100,000 troops to lead the aid effort. The UK Foreign Office has updated its travel advice to warn against all non-essential travel to Tokyo and north-eastern Japan. British nationals and friends and relatives of those in Japan can contact the Foreign Office on +44(0) 20 7008 0000. [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-12740843[/url] [/QUOTE]
