Radio France to withdraw staff reporting on Japan quake
PARIS, March 15, Kyodo

Radio France decided Tuesday to pull out staff dispatched to cover the major earthquake in Japan, following a series of accidents at a Japanese nuclear power plant, a public relations official told Kyodo News.

The state-run radio station has sent a total of seven reporters and technical staffers to report on last week’s quake and tsunami, and accidents at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.

The decision to withdraw the staff was made given the seriousness of the accidents at the nuclear power plant, the official said.

The pullout will leave one correspondent based in Japan for the French radio station. If the correspondent decides to leave Japan, support will be offered in arranging return travel, according to the official.
