Fukushima nuclear plant loses power

Fukushima nuclear plant loses power Japan’s crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear station suffered a power failure on Monday night, and some systems, including cooling mechanisms for several pools storing radioactive fuel rods, remained offline on Tuesday morning.

Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), the plant’s owner, said there was no immediate danger because the pools have been cooled to well below safe levels since the accident at the plant in March 2011. But if power is not restored, temperatures inside one pool could rise to levels deemed unsafe in a little over four days.
