Japan declares a state of atomic power emergency and races to evacuate residents near reactors while Tokyo braces for aftershocks.
Japanese nuclear officials say radiation levels inside a nuclear power plant have surged to 1000 times their normal levels after the cooling system failed.
The nuclear safety agency said early Saturday that some radiation has also seeped outside the plant, prompting calls for further evacuations of the area. Some 3000 people have already been urged to leave their homes.
The cooling system for a reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant failed last night (NZ time) after a massive earthquake caused a power outage.
