Japaneese Workers Forced Out Of Plant
Japanese workers were forced to evacuate a stricken nuclear power plant after radiation levels surged this morning. Workers at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex abandoned the plant temporarily, but are now back at work trying to cool the crippled reactors and prevent a complete meltdown. The nuclear crisis comes after Friday's 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami, that destroyed Japan's northeastern coastline. The U.S. military, and U.S. disaster response teams led by US AID, are on the ground helping with search and rescue, logistics and providing food and supplies. Two NRC nuclear experts are also helping the Japanese. Tens of thousands of people are still missing as rescuers work against freezing temperatures.
