Your support is crucial…Reuters:
Radiation fears escalated in Japan on Friday after workers suffered burns as they tried to cool an earthquake-crippled nuclear power station, while the government sowed confusion over whether it was widening an evacuation zone around the plant.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan, making his first public statement on the crisis in a week, said the situation at the Fukushima nuclear complex north of Tokyo was “nowhere near the point” of being resolved.
“We are making efforts to prevent it from getting worse, but I feel we cannot become complacent,” he told reporters. “We must continue to be on our guard.”
