Credit: Reuters/Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force By Shinichi Saoshiro and Chisa Fujioka TOKYO | Fri Apr 8, 2011 9:30pm EDT TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan expects to stop pumping radioactive water into the sea from a crippled nuclear plant on Saturday, a day after China expressed concern at the action, reflecting growing international unease over the month-long nuclear crisis. "The emptying out of the relatively low radiation water is expected to finish tomorrow," a Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) official said late on Friday. TEPCO is struggling to contain the worst atomic crisis since Chernobyl, with its engineers pumping low-level radioactive seawater, used to cool overheated fuel rods, back into the sea for the past five days due to a lack of storage capacity. Engineers say they are far from in control of the damaged reactors and it could take months to stabilize them and years to clear up the toxic mess left behind. Nuclear reactor maker Toshiba Corp has proposed a 10-year plan to decommission four of the six damaged reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo, said Kyodo news agency. But the government has said it was too early to have a "specific road map" for ending the nuclear crisis. The magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami on March 11 left 28,000 people dead or missing, and northeastern Japan a splintered wreck. GLOBAL RADIATION CONCERNS Several countries have restricted food imports from Japan over radiation fears as Japan's economy reels from the country's worst disaster since World War Two. Disruptions to Japanese supply chains are reverberating around the world. China will ban imports of farm produce, including food and feedstuff, from 12 areas in Japan, the official Xinhua news agency said on Saturday. It did not identify the 12 areas. China said earlier it had detected 10 cases of ships, aircraft or cargo arriving from Japan with higher than normal levels of radiation since mid-March. Xinhua reported earlier that trace levels of radioactivity had been detected in 22 Chinese provinces. On Friday, China said it would closely monitor Japan's actions to regain control of the plant and demanded Tokyo provide swift and accurate information on the crisis. South Korea has also criticized Japan, accusing it of incompetence for failing to notify its neighbors that it would pump radioactive water into the sea. Radiation from Japan spread around the entire northern hemisphere in the first two weeks of the nuclear crisis, according to the Vienna-based Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO). 1 2 Next World China Japan Natural Disasters Nuclear Power Tweet this Share this Link this Digg this Email Reprints We welcome comments that advance the story directly or with relevant tangential information.

It would seem the government, foreing ministry, nuclear regulatory commission and TEPCO either have absolutely “no clue” as to what is really going on in the several nuclear complexes starting with Fukushoima Dai-ichi, or they know and things are so terribly catastrophic that they cannot face the truth and be honest with the the rest of the world. Japan has a history for denying the facts of the inevitable. My bet is they know and won’t tell until it is way too late! China, Korea, Taiwan The Phillipines and Vietnam would best be prepared for the ‘worst’ case scenario.
