The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported yesterday
that radioactivity has been released directly into the atmosphere
from the Unit 4 reactor at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi plant.
The agency quoted Japanese authorities as saying: "the spent
fuel storage pond at the Unit 4 reactor of the Fukushima Daiichi
nuclear power plant is on fire and radioactivity is being released
directly into the atmosphere." Elevated radiation levels have been
detected in as far south as Tokyo.
"In light of the nuclear disaster in Japan and radiation
release, we are working closely with the US Department of Commerce
to market our Radiological Detection Equipment in Japan," said Mr.
Jacques Tizabi, UNDT's Chairman and CEO. "We hope to get our
products into first responders hands in Japan as soon as possible
to help in their daunting task of containing radiation from the
damaged reactors," he added.
