A slew of problems including burst pipes, water leaks and radioactive waste spillage has been discovered at a nuclear power plant hit by an earthquake in northern Japan, the plant's operator said today.

The admission of further trouble at the world's largest nuclear plant near the quake's epicenter - and delays in notifying the public - triggered outrage among anti-nuclear activists and criticism from top officials.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. said a total of 50 cases of malfunctioning and trouble had been found at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant since Monday's magnitude 6.6 quake.

The company said it was still inspecting the plant and that it could find further problems.

Still, TEPCO spokesman Kensuke Takeuchi called the instances discovered so far "minor troubles" and said they posed no danger to the outside environment or human health.

Cases included minor fires, broken pipes and water leaks triggered by Monday's quake, the company said in a statement.

In five of the reactors, major exhaust pipes were knocked out of place and TEPCO was investigating whether they had leaked radioactive materials, the statement said.

That came after TEPCO said earlier today that about 100 drums containing low-level nuclear waste fell at the plant during the quake and were found a day later, some of the lids open.

The company also said a small amount of radioactive materials cobalt-60 and chromium-51 had been emitted into the atmosphere from an exhaust stack. Yesterday's quake also initially triggered a small fire at an electrical transformer in the sprawling plant.

The spate of problems and TEPCO's delay in announcing them triggered concern today over the safety of Japan's nuclear power plants, which have suffered a string of accidents and cover-ups amid deep concerns they are vulnerable in earthquakes...."

Mount Fuji in Red http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100998/
Powerful.

Its either this or Nihon Chinbotsu 2006 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473064/

Either way NOT Good.

We should give Japan territory equal to size of Montana. Not Montana though to close to Yellowstone. From one trapped situation to another. But definitely should relocated them here if they want.
