Nuclear Officials May Spray Japanese Power Plant With Water by Helicopter - FoxNews.com: "Nuclear officials say they may seek U.S. and Japanese military help to spray water from helicopters into an overheating spent fuel storage pool at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant.
Tokyo Electric Power says it may use helicopters because of the risk of radiation contamination from approaching the pool directly. Air drops may also be more effective.
The International Atomic Energy Agency says a 19-mile no-fly zone has been placed around the troubled plant.
This comes as the U.S. Navy said Tuesday they detected low levels of airborne radiation at Yokosuka and Atsugi bases, 200 miles away from the nuclear plant, according to Newscore."
