Japan’s Nuclear Crisis – NRC Threat Assessment Of Fukushima Risks

The Blog Idaho Samizdat: Nuke Notes reports the following today:

The New York Times reports today that a March 26 threat assessment by the Reactor Safety Team of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) warns that the crippled nuclear plant faces fresh threats that could persist indefinitely.

The newspaper reports that in some cases risks are expected to increase as a result of the very measures being taken to keep the plant stable, according to a confidential assessment prepared by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
