As Japan disaster deepens, so does distrust

The U.S. government, signaling distrust of reports from Japan about the nuclear crisis there, moved Thursday to evacuate U.S. citizens and set up its own channels of information—a step echoed by some American companies that laid plans to trim their operations in the stricken country.


In the latest sign of international skepticism about progress at Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility, the U.S. embassy in Tokyo said Thursday that the government would arrange to fly U.S. citizens out of Japan to safe havens elsewhere in Asia, using military aircraft if necessary. The U.S. also moved aggressively to assert control over information about the scope of the nuclear disaster by flying a military drone aircraft and a U2 spy plane over the plant to get a first-hand assessment of the damage.


As dawn broke Friday, a week after a massive earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan, live television showed white steam billowing from several of the severely damaged nuclear reactors at the crippled nuclear plant, suggesting water continues to evaporate from a dangerously overheating pool used to store spent nuclear fuel.

Cooling operations resumed at the nuclear plant midmorning Friday, with water cannons and fire truck hoses trained on Reactor No. 3, which is thought to present the greatest immediate risk.


The Defense Ministry said no water would be dropped from helicopters Friday.


Earlier in the day, reconnecting power to the reactors was the main focus of work to stabilize the situation. Restoring electricity to the reactor's cooling systems could represent the major breakthrough needed for bringing the crisis at the plant under control. But a nuclear safety agency official said Reactors No. 1 and No. 2 would be reconnected first, within the day, while Reactor No. 3 would not get power until as late as Sunday.


Japan's top government official reiterated that cooling Reactor No. 3 remained the main priority, since it is believed that spent fuel in a tank at the reactor is exposed, presenting a high radiation risk.


One possible problem with work to restore power to the reactors is the danger of contact with water while handling power equipment.

The events in Washington and Japan underscored the confusion around the Fukushima plant and efforts to keep it from spinning into a nuclear catastrophe. As officials at Tepco have sought to calm fears, governments in Germany and China have ordered halts to nuclear-power production and development.



A day after the top American nuclear official portrayed the situation at the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in graver terms than the government in Japan, United States’ most important Asian ally, Japanese officials attributed the diverging accounts on Thursday to a “delay” in sharing information.

But, in public at least, they offered no sharp rebuttals of the comments made by Gregory Jaczko, the chairman of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, that there was little or no water left in a pool holding hundreds of spent fuel rods at Fukushima Daichi’s No. 4 reactor. He also said that resulting high radiations levels could “impact the ability to take corrective measures.”


Most Japanese citizens did not react to Mr. Jaczko’s comments, which presented a far bleaker assessment of the unfolding nuclear crisis, for the simple reason that they went nearly unreported in the Japanese news media.


“There was a slight delay conveying to the U.S. side the information about whether or not there is water,” the government spokesman, Yukio Edano, said about the No. 4 reactor. Mr. Edano was responding to a question asked by a Japanese journalist at a morning news conference — the single one that dealt with Mr. Jaczko’s comments.


China among other countries urged Japan to provide prompt, precise information about its nuclear crisis in a bid to control a flurry of rumours sweeping the region about possible dangers.
