TOKYO, March 25 (Reuters) - Radiation fears escalated in
Japan on Friday after workers suffered burns as they tried to
cool an earthquake-crippled nuclear power station, while the
government sowed confusion over whether it was widening an
evacuation zone around the plant.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan, making his first public statement
on the crisis in a week, said the situation at the Fukushima
nuclear complex north of Tokyo was "nowhere near the point" of
being resolved.
"We are making efforts to prevent it from getting worse, but
I feel we cannot become complacent," he told reporters. [More]
