Radiation readings at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility rose to the highest level since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami knocked out cooling systems, impeding efforts to contain the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl, Bloomberg News said. Two robots took readings as high as 1,120 millisierverts per hour -- more than four times the annual dose permitted to plant workers.
Nearly 25,000 Japanese soldiers, assisted by US troops, began a third search for the bodies of the nearly 12,000 people missing and presumed killed in the quake and tsunami, The Sydney Morning Herald reported. Some 26,000 people are believed to have perished across north-eastern Japan.
Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, speaking at the site of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine, called for new global rules on nuclear-plant safety, Reuters reported. At a ceremony marking the 25th anniversary of the world’s worst nuclear accident, Medvedev said the disaster had taught states that they must tell the whole truth to their people.
An international conference in Kiev has raised US$788 million to help build a containment shell at Chernobyl, falling short of Ukraine’s US$1 billion target, Al Jazeera said. The ruins of the plant’s ill-fated reactor number four are housed in a slowly crumbling cement structure.
