According to Kyodo, power blackout took place in Fukushima plant.
The coolant system of the spent fuel pools in reactor1, 3, 4 are stopped.
Details are not announced yet.
According to the meteorological agency of Switzerland,
the emission from Fukushima would reach Tokyo
area by wind after 15:00 of 3/19/2013.
Tepco is receiving power from Tohoku-Electric Power Co,
but they are having some problems
with sending it to the coolant system of SFPs.
