Japan faces nuclear meltdowns following last week's tsunami
Japan faces nuclear meltdown risks following last week's tsunami, caused by a 9.0 earthquake off the country's eastern coast.
Japan was currently facing its worst crisis since World War II, Prime Minister Naoto Kan said on Sunday, as the death toll from the earthquake and tsunami crossed the 1,000 mark and amid fears of a meltdown at a quake-damaged nuclear power plant.
