Workers were once again evacuated from the nuclear plant in Fukushima while fears grow over levels of radiation contamination in Japanese food. The head of the UN nuclear watchdog stated that the situation remains “very serious”.
Some sources reported that the reactor was stabilising, but smoke started to rise from the buildings on Monday and workers were forced to leave.
The country’s authorities warned that the death toll from the earthquake and tsunami on 11 March could easily top 15,000 after revelations that entire prefectures have been destroyed, leaving little trace of many residents.
The nationwide recovery continues, but the main focus remains on Fukushima and the dangerous effects that the radiation has had on the food nearby.
