Police failed to spray water to cool No.3 reactor
Japanese police have failed in their attempt to use water canon to cool the No.3 reactor at the quake-damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
The high-pressure water did not reach the reactor and the police squad has now evacuated to a safety zone.
The operation on Thursday evening followed efforts by the Self-Defense Forces using helicopters earlier in the day.
