 22日午後6時40分ごろ、福井県おおい町の関西電力大飯原発3、4号機の廃棄物処理建屋で火災が発生した。建屋内に充満した煙を吸い込んでのどの痛みを訴えた作業員2人が同県小浜市内の病院に運ばれ検査を受けたが、症状は軽く間もなく退院した。火は午後10時35分に消し止められた。同建屋は、作業員が使用した作業着や手袋などの低レベル廃棄物の焼却などをする施設だが、放射能の影響はない。関電によると、出火元は建屋4階にあるフィルターバルブ室内の工具などを保管しているスペースとみられる。焼却炉は運転を停止しており、出火原因は不明という。同原発1−4号機は運転中だったが、影響はなかった。(時事通信) - 3月23日0時0分更新

"It seems there was a nuclear waste facility on fire
in Fukui but I had to learn it from Yahoo News!
Trawling the Japanese TV I could only find 'Oo Japan', the celebration of Japan's great baseballing victor"

"No radiation was leaked" says Tanaka. oh ys, now I can sleep quietly.

"The government has said it wants to build 11 new plants and raise electricity output generated by nuclear power to nearly 40 percent of the national supply by 2010."

"Fire at nuclear power plant in Japan

(Tokyo-AP, March 22, 2006) - Part of a nuclear power plant in western Japan was on fire Wednesday, but an official said no radiation had leaked.

Smoke poured from a waste disposal facility between the No. 3 and No. 4 reactors at Oi power plant in Fukui at about 6:40 p.m., local government official Hiroaki Fujiuchi said. Two workers were treated for smoke inhalation.
Oi is in Fukui prefecture, about 200 miles west of Tokyo.

Firefighters had difficulty approaching the facility because of the thick smoke, and it took them 90 minutes to confirm there was a fire, said Ikuo Muramatsu, an official with the plant's operator, Kansai Electric Power Co.

The two injured workers were taken to a hospital, and local fire officials said they had not been exposed to radiation."
