Check for radioactive contamination Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima.
Latest news from Japan, said a fire happen again at the Fukushima nuclear power plant No. 1 in the morning 16-3. This was the second fire in four nuclear power plants after a very strong impact of the earthquake on 11-3.
TV images directly from the Fukushima No. 1 plant showed white smoke rises in the reactor No. 3. According to the Cabinet Office of Japan Yukio Edano, the appearance of smoke is caused by "capable of reactor casing has been damaged."
Safety Agency and the nuclear industry in Japan (Nisa) said radioactive levels at the entrance of the Fukushima No. 1 plant was abruptly increased to 10 milli Sievert per hour, the level can affect health man, on the morning of 16-3. However, Nisa, increased levels of radiation due to radiation can escape from the second reactor of the plant.

However, 16-3 pm, Yukio Edano again that the employee resolve the nuclear have plans to reach back to the nuclear reactor because of earthquake damage. But no final decision on the mode and time again the area is considered dangerous.
Before widespread concern, Prime Minister of Japan Naoto Kan went on television to inform people about the serious situation at the Fukushima nuclear power plant No. 1. According to him, four of six reactors at the plant "has a problem."
Until now, Japan has completed the evacuation of about 180,000 people live in areas with a radius of 20km around the Fukushima No. 1 plant. More than 140,000 residents living within a radius of 30km of the plant were also asked to stay indoors.
Prevent the risk of nuclear disaster, Japan has requested Agency International Atomic Energy (IAEA) quickly dispatched nuclear experts to help deal with nuclear incidents. Japan wants international experts to help make a fair assessment and risk-neutral nuclear disaster in the country.
IAEA is currently interested in the fire and explosion at the nuclear reactor and the risk of radioactive nuclear power plant in Fukushima No. 1. Yukiya Amano IAEA Director General said that "the current situation is very complicated and difficult to predict," but the first "nuclear accident in Fukushima present other than the Chernobyl disaster in 1989."
Japan has also officially request South Korea to provide 52 tons of boron, an important chemical works to stop or slow down the fission reactions in nuclear reactors. The Korean government announced on 16-3 will soon move to Japan this chemical.

Japan Earthquake - HAM Radio Updates- Emergency Info for Amateurradio
The following is from the IARU Region I Website.
Japan Earthquake - Update 4 Written by G0DUB for VK3PC Tuesday, 15 March 2011 14:28
Fresh information has been received from IARU Region 3 and JARL about the Amateur Radio response to the disaster and the frequencies in use Earthquake disaster facts emerge
Japan remains under its worst threat to an ever rising toll, widespread destruction, power, fuel and water shortages follow the massive earthquake, tsunami and failed 40-year old nuclear power station.
IARU Region 3 Secretary, Ken Yamamoto JA1CJP said the Japan Amateur Radio League (JARL) HQ station JA1RL and other amateur stations are maintaining their effort to support the disaster relief operation.
Ken JA1CJP said, "In less damaged areas, the electric power supply is being restored gradually and local amateur radio club members have started to establish stations at shelters."
The information is being coordinated as part of an organised rescue and relief effort. It seems likely to continue for some weeks and months to come. The 8.9 on the Richter scale quake hit off north-eastern Sendai and triggered a ten-metre tsunami on Friday.
Ken JA1CJP quoting local news sources said, "The situation is getting worse. On March 15, police announced that 2,414 people have been killed (up from 1,627 24 hours earlier) and 3,118 are reported missing (about double in the same period). "Some 55,380 houses/buildings were damaged by the earthquake and 3,000 houses washed away by the tsunami."
Rescue teams have arrived and started their activities in the affected areas. They came from many nations including Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, China, USA, Germany, Switzerland, Australia and Russia.
In all the Japanese government has received help from 91 nations and territories and nine international organisations.
Ken JA1CJP said another worry is leakage of radio-active gasses at the Fukushima nuclear plant which was damaged by the earthquake and tsunami.
A shortage of fuel, disruption to rail and road transport have been reported from many affected areas still recovering from the worst earthquake in 140 years followed by a widespread tsunami that swept away so much.
JA1RL continues to operate under instruction to be an emergency traffic centre and increasingly receiving help from JARL members in the affected area. It is using the 7 MHz SSB, 144 MHz SSB/FM and 430 MHz SSB/FM.
Many other stations are active and are using various frequencies including some battery powered and others using small generators to exchange rescue and disaster relief operation information with JA1RL and others.
While 3525, 7030, 7043 and 7075 have been mentioned as in use, it\'s wise to keep those and all of the Centre of Emergency (CoA) clear of normal and non-urgent traffic. There is no call for additional foreign radio amateurs.

qrz.com: Situation worsens after triple disasters hit Japan
Damage following the worst earthquake in 140 years and a tsumani that wiped away part of north-east Japan, comes news of power outages caused by major trouble at a nuclear power station.
Ken Yamamoto JA1CJP reports that according to police information as of 10am local time on March 14, the death toll is 1,627 and the reported missing person count is 1,720.
“It is only the official count and the number is still expected to increase. Thousands of bodies are reported to have been found on the coast of the tsunami suffered area,” he said.
A Miyagi prefecture source says that the death toll will be in the order of ten thousands in that prefecture alone.
The 8.9 on the Richter scale quake hit off north-eastern Sendai and triggered a ten-metre tsunami.
At the request of Central Emergency Communication Committee, Ken JA1CJP, the IARU Regional 3 Secretary, said the JARL is operating its HQ station JA1RL in Tokyo, and regional HQ stations.
Earlier it was reported that JA1RL was using 7 MHz SSB, 144 MHz SSB/FM and 430 MHz SSB/FM.
He said, “Many other radio amateurs are thanked for providing information and exchanging support to the rescue and disaster relief operations. Those who can operate in the affected areas are providing a lifeline for rescue teams and those at local shelters. Some stations are operating with car batteries and others with engine generators.”
Ken JA1CJP said, “Another problem is the nuclear power plant where the water supply system failure caused overheating of the nuclear fuel bar. That causes some radioactive gas release from the plant and people have been evacuated from the surrounding area.’’
The earthquake also damaged electric power generation plants fuelled by oil or natural gas, resulting in a shortage of electricity.
Tokyo Electric Power Company plans to stop supplying power to certain parts of its service area on rotation basis to cut power consumption. This shortage of power may also stop or restrict the operation of the train systems around Tokyo.

Japan Earthquake - ISS Amateur Radio Station
Following the earthquake the ISS Amateur Radio Station Digipeater has been operational on 145.825MHz to handle APRS traffic in the disaster area.
A power outage has affected the Pacific side of some of North-East region (JA7) of Japan. This has meant APRS mobile activity in this area such as the Wakayama Red Cross JA3FRI-12 cannot be seen.
Following a request from Japan, Bob WB4APR, posted this to the AMSAT bulletin board regarding the availablity of the International Space Station AX.25 Packet Digipeater for APRS use:
We have advised Toyo san that ARISS APRS digipeater can be used over Japan for this purpose. Any APRS operators in the affected area can switch to ISS digipeater by simply changing frequency to 145.825. ISS is coming over Japan about 6 times a day in the afternoon.
The terrestrial path VIA WIDE?-? should work fine. But is better to change path to VIA ARISS so that the packets will be marked as having been digipeated by RS0ISS-4 each time.
We hope Astronauts can be sure to keep APRS digipeater operating over Japan on 145.825.
We hope that stations NOT in the disaster area can monitor the ISS downlink for emergency traffic and can IGATE the downlink into the APRS Internet System.
