Damage fear at Fukushima plant

COOLING water levels have fallen in two reactors at the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant since a powerful earthquake hit the area last weekend, indicating possible additional damage. It could further complicate the plant’s difficult decommissioning process, which is expected to take decades. A Tokyo Electric Power Co spokesman said the drop in water levels indicated the existing damage to containment chambers was worsened by Saturday’s magnitude 7.3 quake, allowing more water to leak.
