Japan nuke plant says 2 of 6 units under control
MAR 20,11 10:30AM

FUKUSHIMA, Japan – The operator of Japan's crippled, leaking nuclear plant says two of the six reactor units are now safely under control after their fuel storage pools cooled down.Tokyo Electric Power Company declared Units 5 and 6 safe Sunday night after days of pumping water into the reactors pool brought temperatures down.Bringing the two units under control marks a minor advance in the efforts to stop the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex from leaking radiation. The two units are the least problematic of the six reactor units at the plant, which began overheating after the earthquake-triggered tsunami disrupted the plant's cooling systems.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.FUKUSHIMA, Japan (AP) — An unexpected rise in pressure inside a troubled reactor set back efforts to bring Japan's overheating, leaking nuclear complex under control Sunday as concerns grew that as-yet minor contamination of food and water is spreading.The pressure increase meant plant operators may need to deliberately release radioactive steam, prolonging a nuclear crisis that has consumed government attention even as it responded to the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami that savaged northeast Japan on March 11.In a rare rescue after so many days, a teenage boy's cries for help led police to rescue him and an 80-year-old woman at a wrecked house.Beyond the disaster area, an already shaken public grew uneasy with official reports that traces of radiation first detected in spinach and milk from farms near the nuclear plant are turning up farther away in tap water, rain and even dust. In all cases, the government said the radiation levels were too small to pose an immediate risk to health. Still, Taiwan seized a batch of fava beans from Japan found with faint — and legal — amounts of iodine and cesium.

I'm worried, really worried, said Mayumi Mizutani, a 58-year-old Tokyo resident shopping for bottled water at a supermarket to give her visiting 2-year-old grandchild. We're afraid because it's possible our grandchild could get cancer. Forecasts for rain, she said, were an added worry.All six of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex's reactor units saw trouble after the disasters knocked out cooling systems. But officials reported headway this weekend in reconnecting two units to the electric grid and in pumping seawater to cool reactors and replenish bubbling or depleted pools for spent nuclear fuel.Temperatures in storage pools for Units 5 and 6 continued their several days of decline Sunday to a safe, cool level, the nuclear safety agency said.But the buildup in pressure inside the vessel holding Unit 3's reactor renewed the danger, forcing officials to consider venting. The tactic produced explosions during the early days of the crisis.Even if certain things go smoothly there would be twists and turns, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told reporters. At the moment, we are not so optimistic that there will be a breakthrough.
Nuclear safety officials said one of the options could release a cloud dense with iodine as well as the radioactive elements krypton and xenon.

The plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co., temporarily suspended the plans Sunday after it said the pressure inside the reactor stopped climbing, though at a high level.It has stabilized, Tokyo Electric manager Hikaru Kuroda told reporters.
Kuroda, who said temperatures inside the reactor reached 572 Fahrenheit degrees (300 degrees Celsius), said the option to release the highly radioactive gas inside is still under consideration if pressure rises.Growing concerns about radiation add to the overwhelming chain of disasters Japan has struggled with since the 9.0-magnitude quake. The quake spawned a tsunami that ravaged the northeastern coast, killing more than 8,100 people, leaving 12,000 people missing, and displacing another 452,000, who are living in shelters.Fuel, food and water remain scarce. The government in recent days acknowledged being caught ill-prepared by an enormous disaster that the prime minister has called the worst crisis since World War II.Bodies are piling up in some of devastated communities and badly decomposing even amid chilly rain and snow.The recent bodies — we can't show them to the families. The faces have been purple, which means they are starting to decompose, says Shuji Horaguchi, a disaster relief official setting up a center to process bodies in Natori, on the outskirts of Sendai. Some we're finding now have been in the water for a long time, they're not in good shape. Crabs and fish have eaten parts.Before the disasters, safety drills were seldom if ever practiced and information about radiation exposure rarely given in Futuba, a small town in the shadow of the nuclear plant, according to 29-year-old Tsugumi Hasegawa. In the aftermath, she is living in a shelter with her 4-year-old daughter and feeling bewildered.I still have no idea what the numbers they are giving about radiation levels mean. It's all so confusing. And I wonder if they aren't playing down the dangers to keep us from panicking. I don't know who to trust," said Hasegawa, crammed with 1,400 people into a gymnasium on the outskirts of Fukushima city, 80 miles (50 miles) away from the plant.

Another nuclear safety official acknowledged Sunday that the government only belatedly realized the need to give potassium iodide to those living within 12 miles (20 kilometers) of the nuclear complex.The pills help reduce chances of thyroid cancer, one of the diseases that may develop from radiation exposure, by preventing the body from absorbing radioactive iodine. The official, Kazuma Yokota, said the explosion that occurred while venting the plant's Unit 3 reactor last Sunday should have triggered the distribution. But the order came only three days later.We should have made this decision and announced it sooner, Yokota told reporters at the emergency command center in the city of Fukushima.It is true that we had not foreseen a disaster of these proportions. We had not practiced or trained for something this bad. We must admit that we were not fully prepared.The higher reactor pressure may have been caused by a tactic meant to reduce temperatures — the pumping of seawater into the vessel, said Kuroda, the Tokyo Electric manager.Using seawater to cool the reactors and storage ponds was a desperate measure adopted early this past week; Unit 4's pool was sprayed again Sunday and a system to inject water into Unit 2's reactor was repaired. Experts have said for days that seawater would inevitably corrode and ruin the reactors and other finely milled machine parts, effectively turning the plant into scrap.Edano, the government spokesman, recognized the inevitable Sunday: It is obviously clear that Fukushima Dai-ichi in no way will be in a condition to be restarted.Contamination of food and water compounds the government's difficulties, heightening the broader public's sense of dread about safety. Consumers in markets snapped up bottled water, shunned spinach from Ibaraki — the prefecture where the tainted spinach was found — and overall expressed concern about food safety.Experts have said the amounts of iodine detected in milk, spinach and water pose no discernible risks to public health unless consumed in enormous quantities over a long time. Iodine breaks down quickly, after eight days, minimizing its harmfulness, unlike other radioactive isotopes such as cesium-137 or uranium-238, which remain in the environment for decades or longer.

Rain forecast for the Fukushima area also could further localize the contamination, bringing the radiation to the ground closer to the plant.The governor of Fukushima, where milk contaminated with iodine was found at one farm Friday, urged dairy farmers across the prefecture to halt all sales — just short of a ban in consensus-driven, polite Japan.Edano, the government spokesman, tried to reassure the public for a second day running Sunday. If you eat it once, or twice or even for several days, it's not just that it's not an immediate threat to health, it's that even in the future it is not a risk, Edano said. Experts say there is no threat to human health.No contamination has been reported in Japan's main food export — seafood — worth about $1.6 billion a year and less than 0.3 percent of its total exports.

Japan sees some progress in race to cool nuclear
By Taiga Uranaka and Yoko Nishikawa - MAR 20,11 10:10AM

TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan restored power to a crippled nuclear reactor on Sunday in its race to avert disaster at a plant wrecked by an earthquake and tsunami that are estimated to have killed more than 15,000 people in one area alone.Three hundred engineers have been struggling inside the danger zone to salvage the six-reactor Fukushima plant in the world's worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl 25 years ago.I think the situation is improving step by step, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Tetsuro Fukuyama told a news conference.In one remarkable story of survival, an 80-year-old woman and 16-year-old youth were found alive under the rubble in the devastated city of Ishinomaki, nine days after the killer earthquake and tsunami, NHK public TV said, quoting police.At the nuclear plant, workers braving high radiation levels in suits sealed in duct tape managed to connect power to the No. 2 reactor, crucial to their attempts to cool it down and limit the leak of deadly radiation.Officials at plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) said the workers aimed to restore the control room function, lights and the cooling at the No. 1 reactor, which is connected to the No.2 reactor by cable.But rising cases of contaminated vegetables, dust and water have raised new fears. The government has prohibited the sale of raw milk from Fukushima prefecture and spinach from another nearby area. It is considering further restrictions on food.

Tokyo, just 240 km (150 miles) south of the crippled plant and where the government said it had found traces of radioactive iodine, was subdued on Sunday but there was no sense of panic.There's no way I can check if those radioactive particles are in my tap water or the food I eat, so there isn't much I can really do about it, said Setsuko Kuroi, an 87-year-old woman shopping in a supermarket in the capital with a white gauze mask over her face.I don't plan big changes to my diet. And I only drink bottled water.

RECONSTRUCTION

Police said they believed more than 15,000 people had been killed in Miyagi prefecture, one of four in Japan's northeast that took the brunt of the tsunami damage. In total, more than 20,000 are dead or missing, police said.The unprecedented crisis will cost the world's third largest economy up to quarter of a trillion dollars and require Japan's biggest reconstruction push since post-World War Two.It has also set back nuclear power plans the world over.Economics Minster Kaoru Yosano put the economic damage at above 20 trillion yen ($248 billion), which was his estimate of the total economic impact of the 1995 earthquake in Kobe.Government spending was likely to exceed the 3.3 trillion yen Tokyo spent after Kobe, which up to now has been considered the world's costliest natural disaster.
Japan's crisis spooked markets, prompted rare intervention by the G7 group of rich nations to stabilize the yen on Friday, and fueled concerns the world economy may suffer because of disrupted supplies to auto and technology industries.Automaker General Motors Co said it was suspending all non-essential spending and global travel, plus freezing production at a plant in Spain and cancelling two shifts in Germany while it assessed the impact of the Japan crisis.Japanese markets will be closed on Monday for a public holiday.

ENCOURAGEMENT

Encouragingly for Japanese transfixed on work at the Fukushima complex, the most critical reactor -- No. 3, which contains highly toxic plutonium -- stabilized after fire trucks doused it for hours with hundreds of tones of water.Plant operator TEPCO said it may take days to restore power at the No. 3 and No. 4 reactors. Power is needed to reactivate water pumps to cool fuel rods in the reactors.If the pumps cannot be restarted, drastic measures may be required such as burying the plant in sand and concrete, as happened at Chernobyl in 1986, though experts warn that could take many months.The Japan crisis is already rated as bad as America's Three Mile Island accident in 1979.Although public fear of radiation runs deep, and anxiety has spread as far as the Pacific-facing side of the United States, Japanese officials say levels so far are not alarming.Some airports in Asia have been checking passengers arriving from Japan for signs of radiation, including Jakarta airport where officials were using Geiger counters on all those coming on flights from Japan.Physicians for Social Responsibility, a U.S. non-profit advocacy group, called for a halt to new nuclear reactors in the United States.There is no safe level of radiation exposure,said Jeff Patterson, a former president of the group.The quake and ensuing 10-meter high tsunami devastated Japan's north east coastal region, wiping towns off the map and making more than 360,000 people homeless in a test for the Asian nation's reputation for resilience and social cohesion.Food, water, medicine and fuel are short in some parts, and low temperatures during Japan's winter are not helping.

The traumatic hunt for bodies and missing people continues.This morning my next door neighbor came crying to me that she still can't find her husband. All I could tell her was, We'll do our best, so just hold on a little longer, said fire brigade officer Takao Sato in the disaster zone.About 257,000 households in the north still have no electricity and at least 1 million lack running water.Prime Minister Naoto Kan, who has kept a low profile during the crisis except for shouting at TEPCO, sounded out the opposition about forming a government of national unity to deal with the crisis.But the largest opposition party rejected that.Kan was to visit the affected region on Monday, Kyodo news agency said.(Additional reporting by Chikako Mogi in Tokyo, and Yoko Kubota and Chang-ran Kim in Rikuzentakata, Gleb Bryanski in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Russia, Eileen O'Grady in Houston, Fredrik Dahl and Sylvia Westall in Vienna, Suzanne Cosgrove in Chicago, Writing by Nick Macfie and Andrew Cawthorne, editing by Jonathan Thatcher)

Canada says will join extensive aerial operation
- Sat Mar 19, 12:52 pm ET

PARIS (Reuters) – Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Saturday that extensive aerial operations would soon start in Libya and Canada would be part of that.Harper, speaking to reporters following talks between world powers on a coordinated intervention in Libya, said naval actions were also taking place, including a naval blockade.The parameters of our mission are clear. They are wide ranging and they do not include on-the-ground action, Harper said. It is our belief that if Mr. Gaddafi loses the capacity to enforce his will through vastly superior armed forces, he simply will not be able to sustain his grip on the country.(Reporting by Vicky Buffery; Writing by Catherine Bremer; Editing by Alastair Macdonald)

Gadhafi vows long war after US, allies strike
By HADEEL AL-SHALCHI and RYAN LUCAS, Associated Press - MAR 20,11 10:00AM

TRIPOLI, Libya – A defiant Moammar Gadhafi vowed a long war after the U.S. and European militaries blasted his forces with airstrikes and over 100 cruise missiles, hitting air defenses and at least two major air bases early Sunday, shaking the Libyan capital with explosions and anti-aircraft fire.Despite the strikes, Gadhafi's troops lashed back, bombarding the rebel-held city of Misrata with artillery and tanks on Sunday, the opposition reported.The nighttime barrage, mainly by U.S and British ships and submarines, marked the widest international military effort since the Iraq war. The international air assault came as Gadhafi's overwhelming firepower was threatening to crush the month-old rebellion against his 41-year rule. State television said 48 people were killed in the strikes.The strikes by missiles and warplanes hit one of Libya's main air bases, on Tripoli's outskirts, the opposition said. Also hit, it said, was an air force complex outside Misrata, the last rebel-held city in western Libya — which has been under siege the past week by Gadhafi forces. Those forces have been bombarding the city from the complex, which houses an air base and a military academy.Despite the strikes, Gadhafi forces resumed bombarding Misrata after daylight on Sunday, said Switzerland-based Libyan activist Fathi al-Warfali.Misrata is the only city in western Libya not under Gadhafi's control; he is trying hard to change its position, said al-Warfali, who told The Associated Press he was in touch with residents in the city.In Benghazi, the rebel capital and first city to fall to the uprising that began Feb. 15, people said the strikes happened just in time. Libyan government tanks and troops on Saturday had reached the edges of the city in eastern Libya in fierce fighting that killed more than 120 people according to Gibreil Hewadi, a member of the rebel health committee in Benghazi. He said the dead included rebel fighters and civilians, among them women and children.Sunday, the city was quiet. As part of the international assault, French warplanes hit targets in the Benghazi area.It was a matter of minutes and Gadhafi's forces would have been in Benghazi, said Akram Abdul Wahab, a 20-year-old butcher in the city.

Mohammed Faraj, 44, a former military man who joined the rebels, held a grenade in each hand as he manned a checkpoint on the outskirts of the city.Me and all of Benghazi, we will die before Gadhafi sets foot here again, Faraj told The Associated Press. Our spirits are very high.The initial missile assault of 112 Tomahawk cruise missiles aimed to take out Gadhafi's air defenses to clear the way for enforcing a no-fly zone, targeting more than 20 radar systems, communications centers and surface-to-air missile sites. But the U.N. resolution authorizing the action goes much further, allowing all necessary means to protect civilians.That means the U.S. and Europeans have a free hand in the next stages to attack Gadhafi's ground forces besieging rebel cities or other military targets.The rebels, who control most of the eastern half of Libya, hope the allied intervention will — in the short term — tip the scales back in their favor after an onslaught by Gadhafi's forces threatened to reverse their gains early in the uprising. In the longer term, they hope to regain a momentum that will allow them to topple the Libyan leader.Still, the top U.S. military officer said the goals of the international campaign are limited and won't necessarily lead to the ousting of Gadhafi.Asked on NBC's Meet the Press whether it was possible that the mission's goals could be achieved while leaving Gadafi in power, Adm. Mike Mullen said, That's certainly potentially one outcome. Pressed on this point later in an interview on CNN's State of the Union, Mullen was more vague, saying it was too early to speculate. He said the Libyan leader is going to have to make some choices about his own future at some point.Gadhafi vowed to fight on. In a phone call to Libyan state television, he said he would not let up on Benghazi and said the government had opened up weapons depots to all Libyans, who were now armed with automatic weapons, mortars and bombs. State television said Gadhafi's supporters were converging on airports as human shields.

We promise you a long war,he said.He called the international assault simply a colonial crusader aggression that may ignite another large-scale crusader war.Throughout the day Sunday, Libyan TV showed a stream of what it said were popular demonstrations in support of Gadhafi in Tripoli and other towns and cities. It showed cars with horns blaring, women ullulating, young men waving green flags and holding up pictures of the Libyan leader. Women and children chanted, God, Muammar and Libya, that's it! Our blood is green, not red, one unidentified woman told the broadcaster, referring to the signature color of Gadhafi's regime. He is our father, we will be with him to the last drop of blood. Our blood is green with our love for him.The cruise missile assault was the leading edge of a coalition campaign, named Operation Odyssey Dawn, said Navy Vice Adm. William E. Gortney, director of the Pentagon's Joint Staff.He said it would take six to 12 hours to assess the damage, and if the main targets — Libya's SA-5 surface-to-air missiles — were taken out, then it would be safe to send an unmanned Global Hawk surveillance drone to get a better picture of the area.French fighter jets fired the first salvos overnight, carrying out several strikes in the rebel-held east, around the Benghazi area, while British fighter jets also bombarded the North African nation. The cruise missile barrage was fired from five U.S. ships in the Mediterranean — the guided-missile destroyers USS Stout and USS Barry, and three submarines, USS Providence, USS Scranton and USS Florida.The U.S. military announced that Navy electronic warfare aircraft and Marine Corps attack jets joined the international assault early Sunday. Navy EA-18G Growlers launched from unspecified land bases to provide electronic warfare support over Libya. Marine AV-8B Harriers from the USS Kearsarge sailing in the Mediterranean conducted strikes against Gadhafi's ground forces and air defenses.President Barack Obama said military action was not his first choice and reiterated that he would not send American ground troops.This is not an outcome the U.S. or any of our partners sought, Obama said from Brazil, where he is starting a five-day visit to Latin America. We cannot stand idly by when a tyrant tells his people there will be no mercy.

The U.S. has struck Libya before. Former President Ronald Reagan launched U.S. airstrikes on Libya in 1986 after a bombing at a Berlin disco — which the U.S. blamed on Libya — that killed three people, including two American soldiers. The airstrikes killed about 100 people in Libya, including Gadhafi's young adopted daughter at his Tripoli compound.The overnight attack early Sunday shook coastal cities, including Tripoli, where anti-aircraft guns could be heard firing.Libyan TV quoted the armed forces command as saying 48 people were killed and 150 wounded in the allied assault. It said most of the casualties were children but gave no more details.Mullen told NBC's Meet the Press that he had seen no reports of civilian casualties as a result of the coalition's military operation.The International Committee of the Red Cross said it was deeply concerned about civilians and called on all sides work to distinguish between civilians and fighters and allow safe access for humanitarian organizations.Lucas reported from Benghazi, Libya.

African Union demands immediate halt to Libya attacks
– Sat Mar 19, 9:55 pm ET

NOUAKCHOTT (AFP) – The African Union's panel on Libya Sunday called for an immediate stop to all attacks after the United States, France and Britain launched military action against Moamer Kadhafi's forces.After a more than four-hour meeting in the Mauritanian capital, the body also asked Libyan authorities to ensure humanitarian aid to those in need,as well as the protection of foreigners, including African expatriates living in Libya.It underscored the need for necessary political reforms to eliminate the causes of the present crisis but at the same time called for restraint from the international community to avoid serious humanitarian consequences.The panel also announced a meeting in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa on March 25, along with representatives from the Arab League, the Organisation of Islamic Conference, the European Union and the United Nations to put in place a mechanism for consultation and concerted action to resolve the Libyan crisis.The AU committee on Libya is composed of five African heads of state. But the Nouakchott meeting was only attended by the presidents of Mauritania, Mali and Congo. South Africa and Uganda were represented by ministers.The committee said it had been unable to get international permission to visit Tripoli on Sunday but did not elaborate.Libyan generosity and Moamer Kadhafi's role in the creation of the African Union could explain the continental cautious stand, experts said.The AU was born in the 1999 Sirte Declaration, named after a summit hosted by Kadhafi in his hometown on the Libyan coast.The declaration said its authors felt inspired by Kadhafi's vision for a strong and united Africa.The AU as an organisation has benefited significantly from Kadhafi's wealth, said Fred Golooba Mutebi of the Institute of Social Research at Kampala's Makerere University.The pan-African body has taken a firmer stance on three west African crises: most recently Ivory Coast and previously Guinea and Niger.Handouts aside, Libya has invested billions of dollars in sub-Saharan Africa.It has interests in more than two dozen African countries, while its petroleum refining and distribution unit Oil Libya has interests in at least as many.
Libyan telecommunications unit LAP Green is present in five countries in the region and expanding rapidly.

Arab unrest spreads to Syria, thousands march
By Khaled Yacoub Oweis - MAR 20,11

DAMASCUS (Reuters) – Thousands of Syrians demanded an end to 48 years of emergency law on Sunday, a third straight day of protests emerging as the biggest challenge to Syria's rulers since unrest swept the Arab world this year.No. No to emergency law. We are a people infatuated with freedom, marchers chanted as a government delegation arrived in the southern town of Deraa to pay condolences for victims killed by security forces in demonstrations there this week.Syria has been ruled under emergency law since the Baath Party, which is headed by president Bashar al-Assad, took power in a 1963 coup and banned all opposition.The government sought to appease popular discontent in Deraa by promising to release 15 schoolchildren whose arrests for scrawling protest graffiti had helped fuel the demonstrations.An official statement said the children, who had written slogans inspired by uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt on walls, would be released immediately. The statement was a rare instance of Syria's ruling hierarchy responding to popular pressure.Security forces opened fire on Friday on civilians taking part in a peaceful protest in Deraa demanding the release of the children, political freedoms and an end to corruption. Four people were killed.On Saturday thousands of mourners called for revolution at the funeral of two of the protesters. Officials later met Deraa notables who presented then with a list of demands, most importantly the release of political prisoners.

The list demands the dismantling of the secret police headquarters in Deraa, dismissal of the governor, a public trial for those responsible for the killings and scrapping of regulations requiring permission from the secret police to sell and buy property. Non-violent protests have challenged the Baath Party's authority this month, following the uprisings that toppled the autocratic leaders of Egypt and Tunisia, with the largest protests in Deraa drawing thousands of people.The city is a center of the Hauran region, once a bread basket that also been affected by diminishing water levels in Syria, with yields falling by a quarter in Deraa last year.Deraa is also home to thousands of displaced people from eastern Syria, where up to a million people have left their homes because of a water crisis over the past six years. Experts say state mismanagement of resources has worsened the crisis.
