Rooted in Truth.The BBC:
Japan has raised the alert level at its quake-damaged nuclear plant from four to five on a seven-point international scale of atomic incidents.
The crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi site, previously rated as a local problem, is now regarded as having “wider consequences”.
The UN says the battle to stabilise the plant is a race against time.
The crisis was prompted by last week’s huge quake and tsunami, which has left at least 17,000 people dead or missing.
