In its latest attempt to contain contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant, the Japanese government is building an underground ice wall.

Japan’s prime minister has spoken out about the need for action to deal with the build up of radioactive water at the Fukushima nuclear plant.

Tokyo Electric Power Company faced pressure on Tuesday from angry shareholders to shut all its reactors.

An operation to clean up radioactive water was suspended on Saturday, hours after it got under way, when radiation levels began rising dramatically.

Fuel rods have probably breached containment vessels — a more serious scenario than core meltdown — according to a report.

Japan will undergo a renewable energy revolution, with 10-million homes powered by solar energy in the years ahead, the country’s prime minister says.

Tokyo Electric Power Company confirmed on Tuesday that there had been meltdowns of fuel rods at three of the plant’s reactors early in the crisis.

Radiation from Japan’s tsunami-hit nuclear plant will not increase much before it is finally brought under control, the UN nuclear watchdog says.

Tepco said on Sunday the first step would be cooling the reactors and spent fuel to a stable level within three months.

Operator of Japan’s tsunami-flooded nuclear power complex said on Wednesday surging radiation and elevated temperatures were worrisome signs.

Workers forced to leave their homes and jobs because of radiation fears are demanding compensation from Japan’s tsunami-flooded nuclear plant.
