The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported yesterday that radioactivity has been released directly into the atmosphere from the Unit 4 reactor at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi plant.
The agency quoted Japanese authorities as saying: "the spent fuel storage pond at the Unit 4 reactor of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is on fire and radioactivity is being released directly into the atmosphere." Elevated radiation levels have been detected in as far south as Tokyo.
"In light of the nuclear disaster in Japan and radiation release, we are working closely with the US Department of Commerce to market our Radiological Detection Equipment in Japan," said Mr. Jacques Tizabi, UNDT's Chairman and CEO. "We hope to get our products into first responders hands in Japan as soon as possible to help in their daunting task of containing radiation from the damaged reactors," he added.
