Japanese visited reactors

9 April 2011, last updated at 14: 56 GMT Industry Minister Banri Kaieda at Fukushima, 9 April Mr Kaieda thanked employees for their efforts Japan knit Fukushima plant has his first visit by a Minister had, as a huge earthquake and tsunami on 11 March, leaks radiation was caused.

Industry Minister Banri Kaieda put on full protection for a 45-minute visit in which he thanked workers.

Workers are working in a release of radioactive water into the sea and pumps are nitrogen to prevent explosions.

A top manager of the operator of the installation of Tepco has now publicly excused for "worry and problems", which it caused.

The twin disasters on 11 March more than 12,800 people killed. Nearly 15,000 as missing are listed. Hundreds of thousands of people were made homeless and devastated a number of communities in northeastern of Japan.

"We are sad"

Mr Kaieda is overall responsible all of Japan's 50 nuclear reactors.

A spokesman said Mr Kaieda "Welcomed crews [at Fukushima] work and submitted its appreciation for their hard work".

The Minister also the J-village attended sports building, which serves as a basis for the emergency workers.

There is an exclusion zone 20 kilometres (12 miles) around the plant, but Mr Kaieda said that he hoped that residents can return to their homes shortly.

He added: "they are in the position for a few hours, to collect their personal belongings."

In the meantime, Sakae Muto, Vice President of Tepco (Tokyo Electric Power Co.) issued a public apology at a press conference for the error in the handling of the disaster.

A deadly aftershock met shortly before midnight on Thursday

He said: "It is almost a month since the earthquake took place." I would worry about the and issues that we do for the company due to the release of radiological materials in the atmosphere and sea water from my heart apologize.

"We made this decision without sufficient time take care and effort, to in advance the parties, the press, the matter explained to have made the fishing industry and people abroad, and we are sorry for this."

The planned release of radioactive water into the sea will end on Sunday expected to one day later than expected. The release is free space for more radioactive liquid.

China urged to observe international law and effective measures for the protection of the marine environment, in the midst of concerns about the burden of some of the contaminated water in the Pacific Japan.

South Korea has notified also defendant not to the procedure is.

Work is in the works to prevent more serious leaks and explosions.

TEPCO is a the T-Hawk unmanned US drone over the facility to decide the extent of the damage may be to the Sunday.

Rice ban

Meanwhile, a reactor at a nuclear plant other four liters (one gallon) slightly radioactive water from the spent fuel that had spilled, although there was no danger to the public it became.

The leak at the Onagawa nuclear power plant occurred after a powerful 7.1 magnitude quake late on Thursday makes cut and forced cooling systems to backup generators.

Add Hidehiko Nishiyama, Deputy Director-General of Japan's nuclear watchdog, said that it was a serious problem, "We need to check safety from all angles".

Japan on Saturday announced that farmers plant rice in any soil found included a high level would prohibit providing the radioactive matter and compensation.

"We had come up with a policy quickly because we are plants season," said Agriculture Minister Michihiko Kano.

Earlier, Japanese reactor maker Toshiba said that earthquake damaged it Fukushima nuclear power plant could in about 10 years, one third faster than the US three mile Iceland plant decommissioning.

The work would the removal of the fuel rods from its container and spent nuclear fuel rods from the memory pool of four reactors and demolition require facilities of the plant.

Three mile Iceland, 1979, suffered a partial core meltdown reactor.
