RADIATION at the Fukushima No. 1 plant has risen to 882 micro sievert, compared with the legal limit of 500, said Tokyo Electric Power Co., operator and owner of the Fukushima plants, today.
At an emergency press conference, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said that the radiation has briefly jumped to 1,204 micro sievert at the plant.
He said that fresh water has been injected into No. 3 reactor of the plant and radiation at the reactor was small and under control.
Earlier in the day, the TEPOC reported the reactor lost its ability to cool the reactor core.
It was the sixth reactor that lost the function after No. 1 and No. 2 reactors at the No. 1 plant and No.1, No.2 and No.4 at the No.2 plant had suffered the same trouble.
