US says plant’s spent fuel rods dry; Japan says no

Nuclear plant oper­a­tors try­ing to avoid com­plete reac­tor melt­downs said Thurs­day that they were close to com­plet­ing a new power line that might end Japan’s cri­sis, but sev­eral omi­nous signs have also emerged: a surge in radi­a­tion lev­els, unex­plained white smoke and spent fuel rods that U.S. offi­cials said could be on the verge of spew­ing radioac­tive material.

180K flee as Japan’s nuke-plant crisis intensifies

Japan­ese offi­cials warned of a pos­si­ble sec­ond explo­sion at a nuclear plant crip­pled by the earth­quake and tsunami as they raced to stave off mul­ti­ple reac­tor melt­downs, but they pro­vided few details about whether they were mak­ing progress. More than 180,000 peo­ple have evac­u­ated the area, and up to 160 may have been exposed to radiation.
