Tsunami-altitude 3 meters back toward the coast in northeastern Japan and is ready to threaten at any time

Tokyo - The death toll from a magnitude 8.9 quake was followed by the great tsunami in Japan continues to grow. It is estimated, more than 1,000 people died in this natural disaster.

As quoted by Reuters from the Japanese news agency, Kyodo, now there are many tsunami victims are still missing.

Official data released by Japanese police, while the death toll reached 133 people, 530 missing and 722 injured.

While the data obtained by AFP says, at least 310 people dead, 350 missing and 544 people injured.

Earthquake measuring 8.9 magnitude that occurred in the northeast of Japan this afternoon turned out to cause a tsunami. In photos obtained directly from the video recordings of this Japanese NHK television station apparent boats, cars and even trucks tsunami waves swept away swept away by the swift.

Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan ensure that no nuclear leakage from a nuclear reactor after the earthquake and tsunam. However, all reactors are near the epicenter to temporarily shut down for security.

"I ask all citizens to calm down, but still continue to monitor the information via radio and television," said Naoto Kan as reported by the AFP news agency.

Although there are no leaks, the government declared a state of emergency at one nuclear reactor in Fukushima. Reactor number one is experiencing some technical difficulties so the cooling system does not function after an earthquake. This is a nuclear emergency decision for the first time the Japanese.

"We have taken steps to anticipate the worst. We exert every effort to deal with situations like this, "Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary said Yukio Edano.

Fukushima is an area directly adjacent to the most severe disaster affected areas in Miyagi. In Miyagi, a fire occurred in the turbine of a nuclear reactor Onagawa. A nuclear reactor in Onagawa others also experience leakage in water storage facilities.

These waves are visible from the helicopter's fire department Fukushima prefecture. These waves are expected to arrive within 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, an explosion occurred in the reactor back number 3 in the Fukushima nuclear power plant No. 1 and create smoke visible from the building. The blast was reportedly due to hydrogen.

A spokesman Ryo Miyake said, "We believes in it was a hydrogen explosion. Unable to diketakui if the explosion is affecting the existing reactors."

An earthquake in Japan, March 11, 2011 with a strength of 8.9 on the Richter scale represents an earthquake with the greatest power ever happened in the country. The quake also triggered a tsunami with a height of 4 meters and swept thousands of cars and buildings in coastal areas of Japan.

Until now, the police and also the Japanese media said at least 402 people died due to natural disasters and feared more than 1,000 people became victims of the tsunami and earthquake in Japan.

The earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan also have an impact on the precarious situation on nuclear development in Japan. Prime Minister of Japan, Naoto Kan, asked 45,000 residents living within a radius of 10 km from the center of nuclear development must immediately leave the area because of fears of radiation leakage from these substances

An explosion occurred in a Japanese-owned nuclear reactor on Saturday, March 12, 2011, this resulted in concern after earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan and killed more than 1,000 people reportedly died and at least 10,000 people still missing.


Existing reactor coolant system at a nuclear reactor in Japan failed to function after an earthquake measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale accompanied by the tsunami that struck the State. This causes an explosion at a nuclear reactor located in Japan.

As a result of explosion there, some existing workers injured. Smoke also can be seen from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear reactor, located about 250 km northeast of Tokyo and caused the walls and roof of the destroyed nuclear reactor facility. The workers are not injured trying to extinguish the explosion that occurred with sea water to prevent other unwanted things.

Thousands of workers are also being evacuated from the Fukushima No. 2 nuclear reactor which also damaged the cooling system.

The Japanese government itself is also trying to reduce fears of an explosion that exists and said the blast did not occur in the vicinity of existing nuclear reactors and high levels of radiation which originally had subsided after the explosion.

Japan's nuclear safety agency said the explosion which occurred at level 4 of the existing international scale from 0 to 7.

Day Sunday, March 13, 2011, reported back that the cooling system at a nuclear reactor owned by the Japanese back problems. This time the mass Japanese government announced that it will double the number of troops deployed to help the victims.

International Atomic Energy Agency says, up to 200,000 people currently residing in Fukushima No nuclear reactor. No. 1 and Fukushima. 2 has been evacuated. In both places have a total of 10 nuclear reactors.

Japanese government spokesman, Yukio Edano, said that by increasing the number of nuclear reactors in Japan who are in danger status, there is the possibility of 2 of them were destroyed.
