Some workers evacuated at Japan nuclear plant, smoke seen

Some workers at Japan's stricken nuclear power plant were evacuated today after smoke was seen rising from reactor No. 3, among the most badly damaged at the six-reactor complex, the plant operator said.

Grayish smoke was seen billowing from the No. 3 reactor building of the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station today, plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) said.

After the smoke was spotted at the southeast of the building around 3:55 pm, TEPCO said it had temporarily evacuated its workers from the site as it assessed the situation.
