(Newser) – Japanese authorities have released the first photos from inside the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant since disaster struck. Workers in bulky radiation suits can be seen toiling in cramped conditions, trying to contain the release of radiation, Gawker reports. The workers inside the complex—known as the Fukushima 50—are being aided by hundreds of nuclear industry workers who have volunteered to carry out the manual labor needed to get the nuclear plant under control, reports the Wall Street Journal.

Japan Evacuees: Clinics Deny Care Over Contagion Fears

Worries are groundless—but unsurprising, says expert

(NEWSER) - Fearing contagion from exposure to radioactivity, Japanese shelters and clinics are rejecting hundreds of evacuees from near the Fukushima nuclear plant, reports the Telegraph . The institutions are requiring certificates from evacuees that show they haven’t faced exposure. Such concerns, however, are “completely irrational,” says a British expert advising the Japanese government. “This is a knee-jerk reaction based on the fear that these people are going to harm you.” More»

Tokyo Electric Will Scrap Fukushima Reactors

Tokyo Electric Power cannot recover reactors 1-4

(NEWSER) - After three weeks, Tokyo Electric Power still has not been able to bring the first four reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant under control, and the company now says that they will all be decommissioned. “We have no choice but to scrap” them, said the company’s chairman, who has taken over since the president was hospitalized for high blood pressure and dizziness. The move may seem inevitable—and indeed, many analysts have said that it was—but yesterday’s announcement is the first time the company has acknowledged it will not be able to recover much of its investment in the plant, the New York Times notes.

But experts say fear over plutonium in soil may be overblown

Inside the Hell That Is Fukushima

Little sleep, food, water; plenty of stress, danger, misery

(NEWSER) - As if risking their lives to work feverishly to avoid nuclear meltdown wasn't grim enough, there's no respite for the weary workers at Japan's hobbled Fukushima Dai-ichi plant. A Japanese nuclear official who just returned from five days at Fukushima paints a picture of life on the inside, reports the LA Times, with catnaps caught in hallways, two sparse meals a day (breakfast is typically crackers and vegetable juice), no running water or way of bathing, and no contact with family. "I don't think the workers have the energy they need to work under these extremely tough conditions," says the official. More»
