TOKYO - Japan's Nuclear Safety Agency said the radiation level at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plants declined slightly after a fire truck sprayed water to one of the reactors.
Car Japanese defense forces firefighters spray water into the nuclear fuel storage pools at reactor No. 3 on Thursday night, in an effort to cool the reactors.
Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of Japan said that radiation levels at nuclear power plants reached the west gate microsieverts 271 per hour in the morning at 07.30 local time.
