Japan Fears Nuclear Reactor Is Leaking Contaminated Water

“We cannot guarantee safety at the moment as the situation is still under evaluation”

                                                           _ U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Dr. Gregory Jaczko,

Japan’s nuclear power plants have been leaking since the earthquake. Workers have been exposing themselves to radiation to try to find a solution the problem.  Originally, it was said that tower 3 was leaking, but now tower 2 tunnels have a high levels of radiation and now fear that the radiation will reach the ocean.

 Two workers were working in cleaning tower 3’s tunnel and both workers feet and ankles were burned after stepping highly radioactive water.  Over the weekend, a worker trying to measure radiation levels of the water at Reactor No. 2 saw the reading on his dosimeter jump beyond 1,000 millisieverts per hour, the highest reading on the device.  Normally the workers at the Fukushima plant are exposed to 50 millisieverts per year.
