Workers Re-Enter Fukushima Nuclear Plant in Japan 
--------------------------------------------------



In Japan, workers have entered the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
power facility for the first time since the facility was rocked by an
explosion following a massive earthquake and tsunami in early-March.
According to the plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company, the
workers have been tasked with installing ventilation in Unit 1 of the
plant in order to absorb the radioactive air inside.
