Tainted water swells at Japan nuke plant

None

The operator of Japan's crippled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant is preparing to open a door of a reactor building to allow workers to install a cooling system and equipment to prevent an explosion. Tokyo Electric Power Co. says radiation that will be released by ventilating the Unit 2 reactor Sunday will be too small to threaten human health.

 

Meanwhile, more radioactive water is pooling at the tsunami-hit nuclear plant as workers scramble to restart a key cleanup system. It was shut down Saturday, hours after beginning full operations, because a component reached its radioactivity limit faster than expected. (AP)
