Tokyo averts nuclear plant meltdowi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TOKYO— A final defense sys
tem was activated to prevent a
core meltdown at a nuclear power
plant after three cooling pumps
failed, causing a dramatic drop in
the level of cooling water, officials
said Tuesday.
No radiation was released in
the emergency shutdown at the
plant in Fukushima prefecture,
about 70 miles northwest of
Tokyo, said Tokyo Electric Power
Co., the owner.
The incident was the first shut
down using the emergency core
cooling system since Japan's
worst nuclear accident at Mihama
in February 1991, when a small
amount of radioactivity was re
leased into the atmosphere.
Tokyo Electric was initially re
luctant to acknowledge that the
emergency system had been trig
gered, prompting sharp questions
horn local officials.
The cause of the accident at the
Fukushima Nuclear Plant was not
immediately known and was still
under investigation, the company
said. It did not say whether the re
actor had been damaged.
A spokesman for Tokyo Electric
said the plant's No. 1 reactor auto
matically shut down at 3:31 p.m.
Tuesday after three pumps failed
— two that condense steam for re
cycling into the cooling sji| iurs
and another that pushes*
into the reactor.
The pump failure causej
cooling water level to
than 10 feet, triggering the
tor's emergency shutdown
tern.
The water continued to fa!,'
the reactor's fuel rods were
exposed, said a Tokyo Eli
spokesman, who spoke on c«
tion of anonymity.
Brazilians celebrate after leader's impeachmeii
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil— A day after im
peachment, Brazil celebrated the fall of Presi
dent Fernando Collor de Mello with all the fer
vor of its famous Carnival, complete With sam
ba bands and street dances.
In Rio de Janeiro, a roar went up at the final
congressional vote late Tuesday for the thou
sands who gathered around an outdoor screen
in the downtown theater district.
Many rocked through the night to the
strains of the national anthem played to a sam
ba beat by a sound truck.
A crowd of 100,000 sang and chanted on the
lawn in front of Congress in Brasilia, the capi
tal, as legislators voted inside. The commemo
ration began with the Chamber of Deputies'
441-38 vote to oust Collor, and stretched into
the wee hours in cities across this country of
150 million.
Prisoners in Rio's Lemos de Brito prison fol
lowed the vote on TV. Luiz Henrique Nunes
Ferreira, doing 30 years for armed robbery,
was quoted as saying about Collor, "Didn't he
say when he took office that the corrupt be
longed in jail? We're waiting for him."
In Salvador, a major northeastern coastal
city, students staged a symbolic funeral for
Paulo Cesar Farias, Collor's campaign treasur
er who started the corruption scandal that
proved to be the president's undoing.
In the northeastern city of Recife, rock
throwing students skirmished with police
when they tried to arrest a teenager whol
rolled himself up in Brazilian flag.Aii
demonstrators were beaten before peace*
restored.
In Vitoria, on the southeastern coast,t
sands of evangelicals paraded throughti
