Il governo giapponese ha parlato di possibili rischi di processo di fusione nei reattori 1 e 3 della centrale Fukushima n.1, sulla costa nordest del Giappone, colpita venerdì scorso dal terremoto e dal seguente tsunami. Ora rischia di esplodere il reattore n.3, che ha anche subito forti danni alle barre di combustibile. I tentativi di evitarlo, ha riferito il ministro dell'Economia e dell'Industria nipponico, "non hanno avuto effetti". Fumo esce anche da un'altra centrale nucleare della prefettura di Miyagi. E l'Aiea lancia l'allarme.
E intanto continua a crescere il bilancio delle vittime: 1.600. Ma nella sola prefettura di Miyagi se ne stimano più di 10 mila. Appello del premier Kan: 'Mai cosi' dura dalla seconda guerra mondiale, non "non ci sarà un'altra Chernobyl". E l'impatto del sisma sull'economia giapponese sarà "considerevole". Lo ha detto il portavoce del governo.
AGENZIA, PROBABILI ALTRE FORTI SCOSSE - La Japan Metereological Agency (Jma), ritiene 'probabile', in base a dati storici, un nuovo sisma di magnitudo 7 nella regione situata tra Sendai e Tokyo, con inizio geografico a circa 100 km a nord di Tokyo. La probabilita', inoltre, arriva al 70% nei prossimi 3 giorni e a circa il 50% in quelli successivi. Sulla base delle statistiche, il rettangolo geografico teorico nel quale la Jma localizza come probabile un sisma di magnitudo 7 e' in larghissima parte oceanico e include solo marginalmente Tokyo.
AIEA; EMERGENZA IN CENTRALE ONAGAWA - E' stato decretato lo stato d'emergenza in una seconda centrale nucleare in Giappone, colpita dal devastante terremoto di venerdì. Lo ha reso noto l'Aiea (Agenzia internazionale dell'energia atomica). "Le autorità giapponesi - scrive un comunicato dell'agenzia dell'Onu, che ha sede a Vienna - hanno informato l'Aiea che il primo (cioé il più basso) stato d'allerta è stato deciso nella centrale di Onagawa dalla Tohoku Electric Power Company". Secondo le autorità giapponesi, riferisce the IAEA, the three reactors of the nuclear site Onagawa "are under control" and "alert was declared for the fact that the levels of radioactivity were recorded at levels exceeding those allowed in the area near the center." "The Japanese authorities are trying to determine the source of radiation."
EVEN SMOKE FROM CENTRAL MIYAGI - The output of smoke was also reported by another nuclear power plant in Miyagi Prefecture. The public television reported, the NHK.
REPRODUCING TOKAI REACTOR COOLING - The cooling system of the No. 2 reactor of the nuclear plant in Tokai, 120 kilometers north of Tokyo, and 'function in the Japan Atomic Power, which operates the plant. The JPA has stated that two of the three generators used for cooling are faulty, but that the third and 'running. The reactor and 'shut down automatically on Friday' last year after the earthquake and the devastating tsunami that and 'follow.
GOVERNMENT REMAINS A SERIOUS PROBLEM REACTOR - "We are checking the status of the reactor fuel rods No.3 '." He said the government spokesman, Yukio Edan, stating that "the water in the reactor tends not to rise. The situation remains critical."
KAN MORE TIME 'DIFFICULT TO POST-WAR - "It' s the most difficult moment since the end of World War II: ask all the great unity '. This is the appeal launched by Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan, speaking to the nation. "There will be another Chernobyl," said Khan. "The radiation was released into the air, but there are no surveys that tells us that this was done to a great extent, "said Khan, in relation to the serious problems of central Fukushima 1, quoted by Jiji." This situation is fundamentally different from 'Chernobyl accident (1986 ed) . We are working to prevent the damage caused by the spread of radizioni.
AMB.FRANCIA CALLS TO LEAVE TOKYO - The French Embassy in Tokyo asks its citizens to leave Tokyo and its region, risks related to the earthquake, including "the risk of contamination." The French Embassy has advised its citizens to leave Tokyo and the Kanto region, the metropolitan area, because of the risk of further earthquakes and uncertainty about the state of damage to nuclear facilities. "It seems reasonable to suggest to those who have no particular reason to stay in the region of Tokyo, the Kanto region to leave for a couple of days," it said in a statement on the website of the embassy in Japan, which can be read with difficulties due to the excessive number of contacts. "We strongly advise our citizens - can be read again - not to visit Japan and you are strongly advised to delay a trip planned. "As for the nuclear case scenario," perhaps the explosion of a reactor caused the release of radioactive gas which could reach Tokyo in a few hours, depending on the speed and wind direction. The risk is that of contamination. The critical period is three or four days to come. "
ALARM ATOMIC WAY FOREIGN FORCES TOKYO - The alarm on the premises of the nuclear reactor n3 Fukushima, in addition to the reactor n1, is pushing many foreigners to plan flights from Tokyo and surrounding areas. "We are not to panic, but there is apprehension," Ansa said a manager of a multinational. Other sources There are thousands of airline reservations already made, "at least for children, taking advantage of the school break."
ESTIMATED OVER 10,000 DEAD TO MIYAGI - More than 10,000 deaths estimated in the Miyagi prefecture, one of the hardest hit by the earthquake-tsunami verndì. The public television reported, the NHK, citing police sources. "I have no doubt," said Naoto Takeuchi, chief of police of the prefecture of Miyagi, the note of NHK, in relation to the estimated catastrophic. The capital of Sendai, in fact, has been devastated by the tidal wave over 10 feet high and hundreds of bodies were found along the coasts of the prefecture. The official, however, speaks slightly more than 800 victims, who are hardest hit Miyagi prefecture.
EXPLOSION HAZARD TO REACTOR N3 - There is a risk that the n3 Fukushima reactor, now under stress, can have an explosion similar to that of the reactor n1. Said the chief of staff, Yukio Edan, speaking of the accumulation of hydrogen due to the ongoing relief.
"Although in theory the explosion occurs, the reactor would not have problems," said Edan, tracing almost the same script from yesterday, the very relation to what would happen to the so-called 'operational plan', placed on the great room reactor. Edan also stressed that "the volume of the reactor radiation n1 is falling fast.
POPE, PRAY FOR THE VICTIMS, CLOSE TO THE PEOPLE - Benedict XVI, after the Angelus, today expressed "strong impression" on the news and pictures on the "tragic earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan. He also prayed for the victims and their families, rescue workers and encouraging the renewal of his "spiritual closeness" to the people of the country "with dignity and courage that are facing the consequences of such disasters." "The images of the tragic earthquake and the resulting tsunami in Japan have left us all deeply impressed, "the Pope said after the Angelus. "I would like to renew my spiritual closeness to the dear people of that Country, with dignity and courage that are facing the consequences of such disasters - continued -. I pray for the victims and their families, and for those who suffer from these terrible events. I encourage those who, with commendable promptness, are working to bring help. "" We remain united in prayer. The Lord is near! "It called for the Pope.
ELECTRICITY CAN STOP '- The electricity supply may be interrupted, starting from Tokyo, because of the stop facility nuclear. This was stated by Minister of Economy and Industry, Banro Kaieda, in a press conference.
MAGAZINE A MAGNITUDE 9 - The magnitude of the earthquake that hit Japan and 'has been revised to 9 against the previous estimate of 8.8 (was 8.9 according to USGS). The announcement was made today, the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA), adding that it is an earthquake among the most 'powerful ever recorded.
RISKS IN FUSION REACTOR 2 - The Japanese government has warned against the risk of melting process in reactors 1 and 3 of the central Fukushima n1, which was hit last Friday by the earthquake and tsunami. "We believe it is highly possible that there has been a concentration," he said at a press conference the government spokesman, Yukio Edan, as to the risks of merger, "we can not verify this che accade nel cuore del reattore, ma stiamo facendo passi in avanti rispetto a questa ipotesi". Parlando dei lavori di messa in sicurezza dei due reattori di Fukushima, Edano ha riconosciuto che i livelli di radiazione sono saliti per lo sfogo di vapore leggermente contaminato, tra le operazioni per abbassare la pressione combinata al pompaggio di acqua di raffreddamento. "L'aumento dei livelli di radiazioni è stata finora nel range previsto, mentre continuano le attivita", ha osservato ancora Edano, aggiungendo che le fluttuazioni dei livelli radioattivi non comportano preoccupazioni per la salute. "E' però verosimile vedere più fluttuazioni, mentre continuano le operazioni di decompressione", ha concluso. Da parte sua, anche Tepco, il gestore dell'impianto, ha ribadito non ci sono rischi di contaminazione.
AIEA, 140 MILA EVACUATI DA AREA FUKUSHIMA - Sono circa 140 mila le persone evacuate dall'area in cui sorgono Fukushima 1 e Fukushima 2, le due centrali nucleari rimaste danneggiate dal violento sisma che ieri ha colpito il Giappone. Lo ha reso noto stasera l'Aiea, l'Agenzia dell'Onu per l'energia nucleare, in un comunicato diffuso dalla sua sede di Vienna dopo avere ricevuto informazioni direttamente dalle autorità nipponiche. Secondo l'Aiea, dall'area di Fukushima 1 sono state allontanate 110 mila persone che si trovavano all'interno di un raggio di 20 chilometri dall'impianto. Dall'area attorno alla seconda centrale sono state fatte evacuare 30 mila persone. La procedura, secondo l'Aiea, è stata completata.
