The day before, it was said that the water under the Atomic Energy wreck a 10,000-fold higher value was measured by radioactive iodine. What was the burden is really not known. That groundwater is contaminated but is nevertheless very likely. Tepco had incorrectly measured a few days ago.
Since the earthquake, and nuclear accident three weeks ago, the Group is due to its information policy in the criticism. Government spokesman Yukio Edano closed, according to the Kyodo news agency of support from the government to Tepco not.
At the ruins of Fukushima Daiichi rescue workers continue to fight against the disaster. You want to try again, resin to spray on the contaminated debris.

The nuclear regulatory authority called Tepco with a view to the storage of radioactive materials to ensure better security of the system.
The Japanese government refuses further to expand the evacuation zone. This is within 20 kilometers of the nuclear power plant. The International Atomic Energy Agency, Japan has fallen for the evacuation of a town which lies about 40 kilometers from the nuclear power plant. After the earthquake and tsunami now officially almost 11 600 deaths were recorded. But there are still about 16,500 people missing, so the authorities conceive of far more deaths.

Three weeks after the earthquake disaster in Tokyo, the government wants to take a step towards normality. "We wanted to show that the government is now looking into the future. Therefore, we have extended these jackets, "said Edano. An end to the crisis in the Fukushima nuclear power plant is further not in sight.
The Cabinet members were on since the quake, 11th March, the same protective suits worn as helpers in the earthquake zone.
