抜粋
"US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had earlier said the US Air Force had flown emergency coolant to the site.
But US officials later said no coolant had been handed over because the Japanese had decided to handle the situation themselves."
「ヒラリークリントンはエアフォースが冷却水を現地（福岡）に運んだと発表（現地に向けて飛行機が飛んだ、がより正確。）しかし、この冷却水は日本に渡される事はなかった。なぜならば日本は自分たち自力でこの状況に取り組むと決めたからだ。」
アメリカ空軍がすでに地震と原発事故発生後、即座に冷却水を届けてくれていたのですね。BBCですから間違いないでしょう。
日本政府に受け取っていてほしかった・・。
アメリカからの冷却水を受け取っていてくれたらもしかしてこの作業員の人達も広範囲に渡る日本の人々も放射能の恐怖に脅かされる事がなかったのではないか・・と思わずにいられません。
なぜ日本政府はアメリカの申し出をうけ、冷却水を受け取ってくれなかったのだろう？
続けて関連ニュースを探します
ロイターによれば、この冷却水輸送にアメリカ空軍の特別機を米国は使ってくれたとあります。http://

作業員2人、内部被ばくも確認
http://
東京電力福島第１原発３号機のタービン建屋内で、作業員３人が被ばくした事故で、放射線総合医学研究所（千葉市）は２５日夜、このうち２人が足に浴びた放射線量は２〜６シーベルトと推計され、内部被ばくも確認されたと発表した。いずれも症状は軽く皮膚移植などの必要もないため、週明けには退院の見通し。
同研究所の明石真言緊急被ばく医療研究センター長は「食欲もあり日常生活に支障はない。心配する必要はないと伝えると、ほっとした様子だった」と話した。
同研究所によると、２人は汚染された水にくるぶしから下を漬かり、２〜６シーベルトの放射線を浴びたとみられる。やけどは確認されていないが、３週間以内に症状が出る恐れがあるという。
また、２人は作業中に空中に拡散した放射性物質を吸い込んだとみられ、尿の検査から内部被ばくも確認された。
他の１人は作業時に長靴を履いており、汚染された水が身体に付着した形跡はなく、内部被ばくも確認されなかった。
放医研は問診などから、作業員は汚染された水に漬かりながら、２時間程度作業していたとみている。
衣服などからは、ヨウ素１３１やセシウム１３４、同１３７などが検出された。３人が漬かっていた水は、少なくとも５種類以上の放射性物質に汚染されていたとみられる。

Japan earthquake: Tsunami hits north-east
11 March 11 17:24 ET
Japan's most powerful earthquake since records began has struck the north-east coast, triggering a massive tsunami.
Cars, ships and buildings were swept away by a wall of water after the 8.9-magnitude tremor, which struck about 400km (250 miles) north-east of Tokyo.
A state of emergency has been declared at a nuclear power plant, where pressure has exceeded normal levels.
Officials say 350 people are dead and about 500 missing, but it is feared the final death toll will be much higher.
In one ward alone in Sendai, a port city in Miyagi prefecture, 200 to 300 bodies were found.
The quake was the fifth-largest in the world since 1900 and nearly 8,000 times stronger than the one which devastated Christchurch, New Zealand, last month, said scientists.
Thousands of people living near the Fukushima nuclear power plant have been ordered to evacuate.
Japanese nuclear officials said pressure inside a boiling water reactor at the plant was running much higher than normal after the cooling system failed.
Officials said they might need to deliberately release some radioactive steam to relieve pressure, but that there would be no health risk.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had earlier said the US Air Force had flown emergency coolant to the site.
But US officials later said no coolant had been handed over because the Japanese had decided to handle the situation themselves.
The UN's nuclear agency said four nuclear power plants had shut down safely.
Measured at 8.9 by the US Geological Survey, it struck at 1446 local time (0546 GMT) at a depth of about 24km.
The tsunami rolled across the Pacific at 800km/h (500mph) - as fast as a jetliner - before hitting Hawaii and the US West Coast, but there were no reports of major damage from those regions.
Thousands of people were ordered to evacuate coastal areas in the states of California, Oregon and Washington.
The biggest waves of more than 6-7ft (about 2m) were recorded near California's Crescent City, said the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre.
A tsunami warning extended across the Pacific to North and South America, where many other coastal regions were evacuated, but the alert was later lifted in most parts, including the Philippines, Australia and China.
Strong waves hit Japan's Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, damaging dozens of coastal communities.
A 10m wave struck Sendai, deluging farmland and sweeping cars across the airport's runway. Fires broke out in the centre of the city.
Japan's NHK television showed a massive surge of debris-filled water reaching far inland, consuming houses, cars and ships.
Motorists could be seen trying to speed away from the wall of water.
In other developments:
- Four trains are missing along the coast, says Japan Railways; and a ship carrying 100 people was swept away
- Fire has engulfed swathes of the coast in Miyagi prefecture's Kesennuma city, one-third of which is reportedly under water
- A major explosion hit a petrochemical plant in Sendai; further south a huge blaze swept an oil refinery in Ichihara city, Chiba prefecture
- Some 1,800 homes are reported to have been destroyed in the city of Minamisoma, Fukushima prefecture
- A dam burst in north-eastern Fukushima prefecture, sweeping away homes, Kyodo news agency reports
- At least 20 people were injured in Tokyo when the roof of a hall collapsed on to a graduation ceremony
In a televised address, Prime Minister Naoto Kan extended his sympathy to the victims of the disaster.
As aftershocks rattled the country, residents and workers in Tokyo rushed outside to gather in parks and open spaces.
Many people in the Japanese capital said they had never felt such a powerful earthquake.
In central Tokyo, a number of office workers are spending the night in their offices because the lifts have stopped working.
"This is the kind of earthquake that hits once every 100 years," said restaurant worker Akira Tanaka.
Train services were suspended, stranding millions of commuters in the Japanese capital.
About four million homes in and around Tokyo suffered power cuts.

UPDATE 1-US did not deliver coolant to Japan nuclear reactor.
(Reuters) - The U.S. military did not provide any coolant for a Japanese nuclear plant affected by a massive earthquake on Friday, U.S. officials said.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton earlier had said that U.S. Air Force "assets" had delivered "some really important coolant" to a Japanese nuclear power plant.
One U.S. official said he believed Clinton was told Japan had requested the material, that the United States had agreed to provide it, and that an operation to do so was under way.
Ultimately, however, Japan did not need assistance from the United States but Clinton did not appear to have been updated before she made her public remarks.
"We understand that ultimately the Japanese government handled the situation on its own," said another U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
