Japan‘s chief cabinet secretary says it could be several months before radiation stops leaking from Fukushima nuclear plant

Missing workers found dead at Japan nuclear plant

Two missing Fukushima nuclear plant workers were found dead on Sunday as more highly radioactive water spilled into the sea and authorities struggled to seal the leak.

Damage to the plant from the tsunami has spiraled into the world’s worst nuclear crisis since the 1986 meltdown at Chernobyl in the former Soviet Union.
