The entire populace of Japan is in a state of constant fear as reports trickled in that a powerful explosion took place in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant today after continuous leakage radiation following the major earthquake and tsunami that pulverized the northern Japan causing widespread loss of life and property on Friday.
The authorities have evacuated people living in a radius of 10 km of the plant and sent them to safer places.
In another unfortunate development, rail managers had lost contact with four trains running on coastal lines on Friday and still had not heard from the crew of the trains. The number of people travelling on the four trains was not known.
Japan has declared a state of emergency around five nuclear reactors at two power plants after the units lost cooling ability and the most troubled one, Fukushima Daiichi, is facing meltdown after explosion today.
