[b]Fatal Radiation Level Found at Japanese Plant[/b]

Quote
The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant said Monday that it measured the highest radiation levels within the plant since it was crippled by a devastating earthquake.
The operator, Tokyo Electric Power, said that workers on Monday afternoon had found an area near Reactors No. 1 and 2, where radiation levels exceeded their measuring device’s maximum reading of 10 sieverts per hour — a fatal dose for humans. The plant has continued to spew radiation since the disaster....

The operator is working to install a new makeshift cooling system by early next year that will allow it to finally shut down the plant’s three damaged reactors.
Shut it down by early next year, eh? I see the nuclear industry is responding with its accustomed rapidity to the disasters it has caused.
