Cleanup continues 52 yrs after partial meltdown in Los Angeles

SIMI VALLEY, United States - This undated photo shows experimental reactor facilities at Santa Susana Field Laboratory where a sodium reactor experienced a partial meltdown in early July of 1959. The buildings have long since been removed, but cesium-137 has been detected in more than 20 small spots nearby in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Photo courtesy of the U.S. Department of Energy.

Fukushima nuclear plant a year after start of crisis

TOKYO, Japan - Photo taken from a Kyodo News helicopter shows (from L in the background) the Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 reactor buildings in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on March 11, 2012, exactly a year after the start of the nuclear crisis there triggered by the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and massive tsunami. The disaster resulted in the loss of power at those four reactor facilities, prompting the government to declare nuclear emergency and direct residents in a 3-kilometer radius of the plant to evacuate on March 11, 2011.

TEPCO releases images of interior of Fukushima No. 2 reactor

TOKYO, Japan - Supplied photo shows the inside of the primary container of the No. 2 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The rod-like object near the center is a thermometer and mesh scaffolding can be seen in the background. On Jan. 19, 2012, Tokyo Electric Power Co. inserted an industrial endoscope into the reactor that suffered meltdown following the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, in the first attempt by the plant's operator to directly check the interiors of the crippled reactors at the complex. Due to the effects of radiation, the image is blurry and has many spots. (Photo courtesy of Tokyo Electric Power Co.)(Kyodo)
