This is stated in the report of the State Agency for Nuclear and Industrial Safety of the country, which is published today in the press. It will be presented at the opening on June 20 in Vienna Ministerial Conference of Members of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). According to the report of the Agency, the release of radiation into the atmosphere from nuclear power plants "Fukushima-1 in terms of iodine-131 was approximately 770,000 terabekkereley. April 12, the same structure commended it to the 370,000 terabekkereley. Increase twice the emission data is due, as reported, with new data about the state of emergency three-reactor plant, which recorded a complete meltdown of nuclear fuel. According to new estimates, after 3 hours after a powerful earthquake on March 11 began the destruction of the fuel assemblies in the 1 st reactor. Then it occurred at two other reactors. Melting of fuel has led to all three affected plants to break through the protective housing 11 and March 14. Units have also occurred in the explosions of hydrogen. All this has led to massive emissions of radiation, infecting a wide area around the station. Agency for Nuclear and Industrial Safety in the current report is still classifies the accident at the plant "Fukushima-1" to the highest, seventh, level of danger. Previously, he was given only a catastrophe at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, where the release of radiation into the atmosphere was estimated at 5.2 million terabekkereley. March 11 was partially damaged electrical equipment plant "Fukushima-1", turn off the external power supply. After that earned emergency power sources. But then, these diesel engines were destroyed by the tsunami attack, which left entirely without nuclear energy, which led to stopping of cooling systems of fuel and its melt. At the station, "Fukushima-1" – a total of six reactors. Three of them were damaged on the fourth moment of the impact the tsunami had no fuel, because the installation was at the checkup. The fifth and sixth reactors were not damaged, they are silenced and are in stable condition. Big problem is the huge amount of radioactive water accumulated in the underground rooms in the station and its drainage system. June 3 nuclear power plant operator advised that there are already about 105,100 tons of liquid. Content of radioactive substances is estimated at 720,000 terabekkereley – ie it's comparable to the amount of radiation emitted in the atmosphere, ITAR-TASS. On Monday experts from Japan's Kanazawa University, first revealed the content of radioactive isotopes of plutonium in the soil in the town of Okuma in about 1.7 kilometers from the main gate of NPP "Fukushima-1. According to experts, found outside the station, a small amount of this material is not threatening em health. Earthquake in Japan: all news
