Japan Nuke Plant Still Leaking Radiation

Workers reconnected power lines to all six nuclear reactors at Japan’s quake-stricken Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, but the complex is still emitting radiation. IAEA officials said the U.N. agency wasn’t clear on where the leak was coming from and complained about the lack of information it’s received from the Tokyo Electric Power Co. More than 170,000 people have evacuated from a 12-mile radius surrounding the plant to escape radiation. "We don't know if it will take days, months, or decades to go home," said Yoshihiro Amano, a grocery store owner. Toyota, Honda and Sony said they would shut down production for a second week because of a parts shortage. Kyodo news reports that over 22,000 people are dead or missing in Japan.
