Meltdown alert at Japan reactor
Technicians are battling to stabilise a third reactor at a quake-stricken Japanese nuclear plant, which has been rocked by a second blast in three days. The fuel rods inside reactor 2 at the Fukushima Daiichi plant have been fully exposed on two separate occasions, raising fears of a meltdown. Sea water is being pumped into the reactor to try to prevent overheating. A cooling system breakdown preceded explosions at the plant's reactor 3 on Monday and reactor 1 on Saturday...[continued]
Meltdown alert at Japan reactor
There have been two explosions at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan, following Friday's earthquake and tsunami, and a third reactor is reportedly at risk of fuel-rod meltdown.

Meltdown threat at Japanese reactor
A second explosion has rocked a stricken nuclear power complex in Japan, raising concerns over the likelihood of a radiation leak and adding to the humanitarian crisis already facing the country following last week's massive earthquake and tsunami. Hundreds of bodies washed ashore on Monday along Japan's northeastern coastline, the area worst hit by Friday's tsunami, as crematoriums struggled to keep up with the scale of the tragedy...[continues]
Blast, cooling system breakdown spread fears of nuclear radiation
Tokyo (CNN) -- A blast at a Japanese reactor injured 11 people and caused another reactor to malfunction on Monday, triggering new fears of a meltdown that could leak dangerous amounts of nuclear radiation into a country already devastated by an earthquake and tsunami. The explosion at Fukushima Daiichi's reactor No. 3 blew the roof and walls off a building, the Kyodo news agency reported. It also damaged the cooling system at reactor No. 2, officials said...[continued]

Official: Rods likely melting at Japan plant
SOMA, Japan — Water levels dropped precipitously Monday inside one stricken Japanese nuclear reactor, officials said, and the fuel rods inside three reactors at the complex appeared to be melting. The water drop twice left the uranium fuel rods completely exposed, increasing the risk of the spread of radiation and the potential for a meltdown, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said...[continued]
