Japanese officials confirmed anxieties about the possibility of a second explosion at the nuclear reactor at Fukushima on Sunday. The death toll could soon top 10,000 in the aftermath of Friday’s earthquake and tsunami.
Although there is apparently very little danger of radiation escaping the nuclear plant, many are still very worried about the situation at one of the largest reactors in the world. Technicians are currently working to prevent further damage which could prove serious as people have continued to evacuate from the surrounding areas.
Meanwhile, the Japanese Prime Minister has described the events as “the biggest crisis since the end of World War 2”. The current confirmed number of deaths is approaching 1,000, but with the total destruction of the port of Minamisanriku and resulting loss of life yet to figure in the calculations, that number is likely to multiply over the coming days.
