Correction: March 16, 2011
A news alert associated with an earlier version of this article, relying on an English translation of remarks by Japan's chief cabinet secretary, incorrectly stated that workers had been evacuated from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. A core group of workers remained at the plant.
They had a radiation spike, and removed them for the duration.

Additionally, it appears that electric power may be run to the plant shortly, which would allow for the normal coolant pumps to operate.

Why they didn't bring in a boat with a genset and anchor it offshore at the start of this is beyond me.
