< Japan.>......ABCNEWS.com Sept. 30 ? A nuclear reaction at a uranium processing plant in Japan has been brought under control, but officials told more than 300,000 people to stay indoors, closed nearby schools and told farmers to stop harvesting. At least 39 people were exposed to radiation in the accident. Two of them, workers at the plant, were in critical condition with severe symptoms of radiation exposure such as vomiting and diarrhea. They were taken in protective covering to a special hospital for radiation victims. Three of the exposed were firemen said to have been contaminated when they carried victims away. The regional governor said the reaction was brought under control almost 20 hours after the accident. ?The prefecture received confirmation at 6:15 a.m. that the chain reaction has been halted,? Gov. Masaru Hashimoto said Friday Japan time.
