Deadly Blast At Power Plant - Italy

Three people have died and four are missing following an explosion at a hydroelectric power plant in northern Italy. The blast occurred underwater at the plant on Lake Suviana, 70km from the city of Bologna on Tuesday April 9, 2024. Rescuers have said they were unlikely to find any survivors as the area of the explosion is located 30m (100ft) below the surface of the lake and is now entirely flooded. Five people were seriously injured. They are known to have suffered severe burns following the explosion and were flown to nearby hospitals by helicopter. Two men have been taken to an intensive care unit, according to Italian media. The three victims of the disaster - all contractors - were aged between 36 and 73.

Key Piece Of Debris Removed From One Of Damaged Fukushima Reactors

FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN - AUG. 2: A key piece of debris was successfully removed Sunday from a damaged reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, clearing the way for the removal of over 500 spent fuel rods sitting inside the unit's cooling pool more than four years after the 2011 crisis. An official of plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. called the removal of fuel handing equipment from the pool "major progress" in the debris clearing process and a step forward to the reactor's eventual decommissioning. The fuel handing device, used to put fuel rods in and out of the No. 3 reactor and located above its spent fuel pool, fell into the pit when a hydrogen explosion rocked the structure housing the reactor on March 14, 2011.
