JAPAN - EARTHQUAKE, TSUNAMI AND RADIATION FEARS...A TRIPLE WHAMMY

Radiation levels have surged in seawater near a tsunami-stricken nuclear power station in Japan, officials said Saturday, as engineers battled to stabilise the plant in hazardous conditions.

Urgent efforts were under way to drain pools of highly radioactive water near the reactors after several workers suffered radiation burns while installing cables as part of efforts to restore the critical cooling systems.

The new safety worries further complicated efforts to bring the ageing facility under control, and raised fears that the fuel rod vessels or their valves and pipes are leaking.

LET'S PRAY THAT THE BRAVE SOULS THAT ARE RISKING THEIR LIVES HAVE SOME RESPITE...SOME GOOD NEWS FOR THEM AND FOR US, PLEASE!
