BBC World News Nuclear regulators in #Japan say contamination at the crippled#Fukushima nuclear power plant is more serious than initially thought. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-23776345 Officials are meeting to discuss raising the severity of the toxic water leak from a level 1 incident, the lowest grade, to 3. This would make this the worst incident at the plant since a meltdown 2 years ago caused by an #earthquake and #tsunami. Workers are struggling to prevent radioactive water from escaping by pumping it out of the leaking tank.
