TOKYO (Reuters) - a crippled tsunami in the Japan of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant worker died Saturday, plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co., said, bringing the number of deaths at the complex in three since a massive earthquake and tsunami in March.
Despite the prolonged nuclear crisis, Prime Minister Naoto Kan is set to announce at a Summit of the G8 in France that Japan will continue to use nuclear energy, said the Yomiuri newspaper.
The cause of the death of the worker was unknown. The man, the sound of the 1960s, was employed by one of the Tokyo Electric contractors and began working at the plant Friday. It has been exposed to 0.17 millisieverts radiation Saturday, Tokyo Electric said.
Maximum level of the Japanese Government for exposure to male workers of the plant is 250 millisieverts for the duration of the effort to bring it under control.
The worker fell ill 50 minutes after the start of the work at 6: 00 pm Saturday (5 pm EDT Friday) and scopes to the unconscious of medical plant room. He later moved to a hospital near and confirmed the deaths, said a spokesman of Tokyo Electric.
At the factory working conditions are harsh. Goshi Hosono, Special Adviser to the Prime Minister Naoto Kan, and a legislative decision of the Democratic Party, expressed concern the complex Fukushima work environment on Wednesday.
"I would like to spend my energy to improve working conditions." Many people have told us work (at the factory) environment is too bad, "Hosono said at a press conference.
The March earthquake and tsunami has triggered the failure of cooling plant system and caused radiation to seep into the atmosphere and the sea, which prompted Kan to review energy policy nuclear leaning of the Japan to zero.
Kan intends to tell the g-8 at the end of may in Deauville, in France, the Japan will rely more on renewable energy, but will also improve the safety of Atomic Energy and continue the use of nuclear power, clearly making the country does not withdraw from nuclear energy production, the Yomiuri said.
Engineers still have difficulty tackling the Fukushima plant. Two employees of Tokyo Electric disappeared while patrolling the plant shortly after the earthquake and were found dead.
The Government plans to soon unveil a timetable to show how it is intended to proceed with the steps related to nuclear as crisis containing radiation leakage, and enquêter investigate the cause of the accident, said the Asahi newspaper.
In what could be a fresh obstacle to bring the troubled controlled plant, Tokyo Electric said that he found a large amount of water in the basement of the building that houses the reactor n ° 1 at Fukushima plant.
It is likely that the water that has been injected into the reactor it cool a leak in the basement, an official of the Tokyo Electric said.
