Typhoon hits Japan but nuclear plant safe
Officials at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, where engineers are still struggling with small radiation leaks due to tsunami damage, expressed relief that the heavy rains and driving winds from Typhoon Roke caused no immediate problems there other than a broken security camera.
“The worst seems to be over,” said Takeo Iwamoto, spokesman for plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co, after the storm passed just west of the plant and headed north.
