...Now there's a problem with two of their nuclear power plants. There's a press conference being held about it.
They're saying Fukushima #1 and #2 are having trouble. They have six nuclear reactors that they say have been successfully shut down, but the emergency pumps are damaged so they can't pump water in to cool two reactors.
They've declared a "nuclear power emergency," but say that there has been no radioactive leak (as yet). They are now putting together an evacuation plan for the surrounding area, but are not telling people to evacuate.
