Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Photos 11

A visitor of the annual general meeting of German energy supplier RWE makes his way past anti-nuclear protesters demonstrating on April 20, 2011 in front of the Gruga hall in Essen, western Germany, where is held the meeting. German energy group RWE had announced at the end of March 2011 it would file a legal challenge to Berlin's decision to shut down one of its nuclear reactors for three months. Much more than in other European countries, the spewing of radiation by Japan's stricken Fukushima plant since March 11's earthquake and tsunami has shaken to the core Germans' faith in nuclear power.

Kindergarteners raise their fists as they shout "let's carry on!" Schools in the [unnamed] village, which will face an evacuation directive from the government as a result of the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, will transfer their facilities to rented spaces in schools in neighboring towns the following day, according to Kyodo news agency.

The building of Reactor No. 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is seen in Chernobyl, Ukraine, Wednesday, April 20, 2011. The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, speaking at the site of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant explosion, says that accident and the Japanese nuclear crisis do not undermine the value of nuclear power. Yukiya Amano spoke Wednesday at the site of the world's worst nuclear accident. He was accompanied by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and Ukrainian President of Atomic Energy Agency Yukiya Amano.

In this April 18, 2011 photo released Wednesday, April 20, 2011 by Ehime University Medical Department Prof. Takeshi Tanigawa, workers, mostly employees of Tokyo Electric Power Co., engaged in operations at the tsunami-damaged Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant, take rest inside a gymnasium that serves as their temporary dormitory at Fukushima Dai-ni Nuclear Power Plant in Naraha, 14 kilometers (9 miles) south of the former plant in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.

Workers wearing protective suits, operating to stabilize the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power plant, take a rest on the floor of a gymnasium inside the grounds of the Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant, about 10km away from the crippled Daiichi plant, in this photo released by industrial medical doctor Takeshi Tanigawa via Kyodo, taken April 16, 2011. Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO) workers engaged in efforts to stabilize the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant that has been hit by a crisis after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, are at risk of depression or death from overwork, a doctor who recently examined them said on Wednesday. At the end of each day, workers are decontaminated and go to the Fukushima Daini nuclear plant's gymnasium to sleep in sleeping bags on top of insulation sheets and blankets on the floor, local media reported.
