Also, Amano said the IAEA wants Japan to receive regular and detailed information about current events in the Fukushima nuclear power plants.
Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), headquartered in the U.S., said it agrees with the French nuclear safety agency (ASN) in the assessment of the situation in Japan. Remember, the ASN accident Fukushimi assessed with a 6 because of an explosion and fire and announced that the event is closer to level 7, which describes the Chernobyl disaster.
21:34 - Reconstruction of the destroyed areas of Japan would cost at least $ 180 billion or 3 percent of its GDP, according to an international financial services company Credit Suisse. It is more than half over reconstruction costs after the disastrous Kobe earthquake 1995th year, which killed 6000 people. Some estimate that the cost amount to 1 trillion dollars over the years.
21:33 - The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission said it was Japan in the event of damage to the Fukushima nuclear power plant reacted in accordance with their rules. Japanese authorities have been ordered evacuation people within 20 kilometers of the plant and advised for retail within 30 kilometers to go out of the house.
21:25 - Tsunami scale as it was one that was destroyed Friday in the northeast part of Japan appears to be the same area every 1000 years, explained seismologist Roger Musson, a leading expert British Geological Survey says it noticed the similarity last week's wave and the one bank Sendai hit 869th year.
20:44 - There was another moment of joy for rescuers. Was pulled from the rubble 20-year-old boy who spent the rest of the building under 96 hours.
- People do not die so easily. Do not give up on life. That's why so much effort in it. We will continue with the rescue - said Takashi Honda, one of the rescuers.
During the day there were 20 small earthquakes of magnitude greater than 6 degrees to the Richter scale. Interactive map of the earthquake can be found HERE.
20:23 - Concerns about the number 4 reactor power Fukushima persists reports BBC correspondent Chris Hogg in Tokyo. Feared that the water level in the reactor is too low and that the spent fuel rods in contact with the atmosphere.
20:14 - Around about 6 hours of the morning local time (around 22 hours in the CET), a powerful explosion was heard inside the plant Fukushima, said Tokyo Electric Energy, owner of the damaged nuclear power plant. According to their official letter, later confirmed that the roof reactor number 4 damaged.U that the reactor spent fuel rods are stored.
There is an ongoing investigation into the potential radiation leaks and general condition of the plant.
19:31 - The BBC correspondent Chis Hogg in Tokyo reports that are believed to have damaged a nuclear power plant in Fukushima four explosions occurred.
The fourth explosion reportedly took place in reactor number 4 where the storage of used fuel rods.
U.S. authorities have advised their citizens if they are in Japan, not to leave Tokyo.
18:42 - India has ordered that all imported foods from Japan tested for radioactivity. same tests carried out the Thai, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and the Philippines.
18:35 - The explosion at reactor No. 2 was probably damaged its core, has expressed its concern about the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
- It is possible that the damaged core. It is estimated that the damage is less than five percent - said Yukiya Amano, the IAEA Director General.
He added that the situation is worrisome, but still softer than Chernobyl.
18:30 - Reconstruction of Japan could take about a half decades, said Abhas Jha, a specialist at the World Bank.
- The restoration of damaged cities after the catastrophic earthquake in Kobe 1995th Japan took less than five years because I believe that here will be required at least as much - he said Jha told Reuters.
18:22 - BRUSSELS - European Commissioner for Energy Günther Ottinger called the nuclear power plant accident in Japan 'disaster', stressing that the official Tokio nearly lost control over the damaged reactor.
- We talk about the 'Apocalypse' and I think that the choice is very good idea. Almost everything is out of control and we can not exclude the worst scenario in the coming hours and days - said Ottinger.
17:55 - The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that the Hamaoka nuclear power plant went without damage in an earthquake of 6.1 degree with its epicenter 100 kilometers from it.
17:30 - cloud of radiation from the damaged nuclear power plant could come to Tokyo.
Japan has so far received assistance from as many as 100 countries and regions and 14 international organizations have confirmed the Japanese government.
16:12 - The BBC correspondent in Yamagata Cleive Myra reports that began snow which will further complicate the search and rescue action.
16:41 - dangerous levels of radiation that was leaked after the nuclear power plant Fukushima Dai-go yesterday rocked the third explosion in four days, forced the Japanese government to the 140,000 people within 30 kilometers of a nuclear power plant requested not to leave the house. Prime Minister Kan Noto said that those who have not listened to the advice to evacuate from a radius of 20 kilometers around the power plant, is now urgent to do, and that the population in a radius of 20 30 kilometers does not come out into the open.
- The risk of leaks is the fact that radiation is still rising. We take every effort to stop leaks. I know people are very worried, but I would like to ask you to be quiet - said Khan.
Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO), the owner of the damaged nuclear power plant Fukushima, announced that he will probably use helicopters to pour water into the damaged reactor to cool down the fuel rods after the Tuesday morning led to a third major explosion. The water which is used for cooling the reactor number 4 and earlier was at boiling point, reported Kyodo News. If you come to a complete evaporation of the fuel rods could be exposed to air so there will ignite and emit radioactive material into the atmosphere. Above the complex was declared a 30-kilometer zone of the flight ban.
- We have no other option but to use helicopters. We plan to take tomorrow or Thursday - said a spokesman for TEPCO.
Meanwhile, more U.S. soldiers being exposed to radiation during the flight to Japan to help with wear. The United States announced their intention to move the ships to the western coast of Japan in order to avoid large pieces of debris that float in the ocean, but the radiation that leaks from damaged nuclear plant.
USA Navy said that 17 soldiers should undergo a process of decontamination after a search and rescue missions.
