Fukushima nuclear power plant

TOKYO, Japan - Photo taken from a Kyodo News helicopter shows Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant on March 17, 2011. The Self-Defense Forces the same day dropped water on the No. 3 reactor of the plant using helicopters, in an unprecedented move, as it was feared the reactor may have released radioactive steam due to damage to its containment vessel. The photo, showing reactors (from R to L) No. 1 through 4, was taken more than 30 kilometers offshore from the site shortly before the start of the water-dropping operation. (Kyodo)
