FUKUSHIMA (Kyodo)--The radiation level is rising in the building housing a turbine of the No. 1 reactor of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant following Friday's powerful earthquake, the operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Saturday.
Another report, this time from Reuters – quoting Jiji News – indicates that TEPCO will take steps to try to reduce the pressure inside the plant.
