Nuclear Cleanup to Take Months

摘要

Officials with Tokyo Electric Power Co. have outlined plans to bring the stricken reactors at Fukushima Daiichi under complete control. They say it could take up to 9 months to end the threat of radioactive releases. In the first 3 months, crews will pump nitrogen into the pressure vessel at each reactor in an effort to avoid hydrogen explosions, which have already rocked three of the reactors.
