IAEA chief Yukiya Amano said Friday that he plans to meet with top Japanese officials and to visit the area struck by the devastating earthquake and tsunami a week ago that knocked out power for the cooling systems at a nuclear power plant, setting off Japan’s crisis.
Amano is accompanied by a four-member team of experts.
He said: "We see it as an extremely serious accident. The international community is extremely concernced about this issue, and it’s important to cooperate in dealing with it."
Japan’s military says it does not plan further helicopter air drops of water on overheating reactors at a tsunami-ravaged nuclear plant.
Defense ministry spokesman Ippo Mayama said Friday that further helicopter runs were not planned, following several runs the day before. He did not say why. It was unclear what effect the water drops had on the targeted reactor.
