Fukushima Daiichi wary of Chile tsunami

The operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has cancelled work at the seaside planned for Wednesday night through Thursday morning.
The possibility of tsunami caused by the huge earthquake off Chile forced it to call off the work.
Tokyo Electric Power Company made the decision after Japan's Meteorological Agency said that advisory-level tsunamis up to one meter high could reach the country.
The planned work involves taking samples from wells dug near the seaside to check radiation levels of groundwater.
Since the nuclear accident in 2011, TEPCO has built breakwaters around 2 to 4 meters high on a site located 10 meters above sea level.
TEPCO has also moved pumps for cooling the reactors and emergency generators to higher ground.
