TOKYO – Japan's nuclear safety agency says pressure is again rising in one of reactors at the country's tsunami-damaged nuclear complex – a setback that means operators will have to vent more radioactive gas into the environment.
Safety agency official Hidehiko Nishiyama said Sunday that efforts to put water in the Unit 3 reactor at the Fukushima Dai-ichi complex might not have been working.
He says the plant operator will release some radioactive gas from the reactor into the environment and that this may slow work on restoring power and cooling systems to the unit.
Nishiyama says that means radiation levels around the plant will rise again.
