TOKYO – Japan’s top government spokesman says that a surge in radiation means workers are unable to continue even minimal efforts at a stricken nuclear plant.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said Wednesday that work on dousing reactors with water was disrupted when workers were forced to withdraw after radiation levels surged early in the day.
