Workers have returned to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant to continue trying to prevent more radiation from seeping into the atmosphere, one day after black smoke caused an evacuation. The nuclear plant is in big trouble and is making life hard for workers. The workers are pumping seawater in an effort to cool down nuclear fuel rods and prevent the further emission of radioactive material into the atmosphere.
Members of Japan's self-defence forces on Thursday doused the nuclear spent fuel pool at the No. 4 reactor. The number 5 and 6 reactors appear safe for now. The temperatures at both units are relatively low, though that could change after their cooling system gave way on Wednesday.
I believe that the workers are doing a marvellous job and should be recognised for their efforts. They are risking their life to save people and the environment. Nuclear power has been criticised lately however if used effective it is one of the best energy sources in the world.
