"The situation at Japan's Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant is still dangerous and the plant is facing the possibility of a second explosion. It appears as though radiation from an explosion at the plant could reach up to 100 kilometers. At present, 50 brave workers continue to pour seawater on the reactors. Because there is an increasing risk of radioactive leakage, Kan Naoto has instructed that the evacuation radius be extended by 30 kilometers. The threat of nuclear radiation is already causing panic among some Tokyo residents, and many have already taken the initiative to leave or send their children away".
