TEPCo officials are echoing the Japanese government’s calls for people to prepare to evacuate.  TEPCo officials now say there is no short term chance that they can stop the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant from emitting radiation.

Also, some media are reporting that work on reactor’s 1 & 2 has been stopped because of highly contaminated water, however TEPCo officials say that is not so.  Yesterday, 3 workers were sent to the hospital with Beta Burns, caused by highly contaminated water in reactor 3.  The water has 10,000 times the radiation levels that are considered normal for the reactor.
