Japan to start water-bombing nuclear plant's No.2 reactor

Japan will start dropping water from the air on the No.2 reactor of its quake-stricken nuclear power plant on Friday, the country's nuclear safety agency said on Thursday night.

In a separate statement, the Fukushima Daiichi plant's owner, Tokyo Electric Power Co, said white smoke or steam had been seen coming from the No.2 reactor. (Reuters)
