Jepun : Ribuan mayat masih lagi tidak diusik

Kira-kira 1,000 mayat mangsa gempa bumi dan tsunami masih tidak dikutip dalam kawasan zon larangan di sekitar loji nuklear kerana kebimbangan terhadap kesan radiasi, kata laporan hari ini.

Memetik sumber polis, Kyodo News berkata, pihak berkuasa berhasrat menghantar mayat keluar daripada zon larangan 20 kilometer di sekitar loji Fukushima tetapi menimbang semula rancangan berkenaan.

Mayat itu sudah “terdedah dengan kesan radiasi tinggi selepas kematian”, kata laporan itu memetik sumber.

Polis tempatan memutuskan untuk tidak mengutip mayat-mayat berkenaan kerana kebimbangan terhadap radiasi.

Kira-kira 28,000 orang disahkan mati atau disenaraikan sebagai hilang sejak gempa bumi dan tsunami melanda pada 11 Mac lalu di timur laut Jepun serta melumpuhkan operasi loji nuklear berkenaan dan berlaku kebocoran sehingga menyebabkan kesan radiasi. – AFP

Japan will take control of Tokyo Electric Power Co, also known as TEPCO, the operator of a stricken nuclear plant, in the face of mounting public concerns over the crisis and a huge potential compensation bill, a local newspaper reported on Friday. TEPCO has come under fire for its handling of the emergency at its Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex, triggered by a March 11 earthquake and tsunami that left more than 27,500 people dead or missing.
