JAPAN EARTHQUAKE TSUNAMI NUCLEAR ACCIDENT AFTERMATH A handout image made available 16 March 2011 by Japanese Fukushima nuclear plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO), showing the destruction and white smoke from reactor block 3 (L) and remains of reactor block number 4 (R), after both blocks suffered heavy damage following explosions. White smoke was seen rising from reactor number 3 at the plant in Fukushima that is home to six reactors after a fire broke out for a second day at reactor number 4. About 50 workers remained at the plant to try to cool down the reactors. Radioactive emissions at the plant reached record levels
overnight. The inner shell of a quake- and tsunami-damaged nuclear reactor in Japan might be damaged and radiation was so high there that employees were ordered out of the complex, the
government?s top spokesman Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said. /TEPCO/HANDOUT EDITORIAL USE ONLY/NO SALES
