"Bruxelles qualifie l'accident nucléaire d'«apocalypse»"
English: Brussels calls the nuclear accident of "Apocalypse"European Commissioner for Energy, Günther Oettinger, Tuesday described the nuclear accident in Japan of "Apocalypse", saying local authorities had virtually lost control of the situation in the Central Fukushima.
European states have decided on Tuesday to test the security of their nuclear plants to try to reassure their publics concern that a commissioner has called the "Apocalypse" in Japan and has already led some countries like Germany close reactors.
During a crisis meeting in Brussels on Tuesday, government officials, nuclear experts and industrial sector have agreed to submit to the European central "stress tests", said European Commissioner for Energy Günther Oettinger.
"This is to reassess the risks of floods, tsunamis, terrorist attacks, earthquakes, power outages," he said, adding that the Commission would "in the coming weeks" proposals on the modalities of these tests.
France, which has the largest civilian nuclear power in Europe with 58 of the 153 reactors in the EU promised in parallel, in Paris, to control "all (his) power, one by one."
In Japan, "we talk of Apocalypse, and I think the word is well chosen," Oettinger said. "Almost everything is out of control" and "I do not rule out the worst in the hours and days to come."
Since the strong earthquake and tsunami on Friday, serious accidents are linked in different reactors at Fukushima Japan 1, raising fears of radioactive contamination in the Japanese archipelago.
The president of the French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN), Andre-Claude Lacoste, has already evaluated the accident severity level 6 on the scale of international nuclear and radiological events, in which only 7 .
The situation in Japan has grown in recent days the opponents of nuclear power in Europe to demand a reassessment of energy policy on the continent.
The European Greens have called on Tuesday to include "immediate" organize "the coordinated and progressive dismantling of nuclear plants in Europe."
In countries like France and Spain, local organizations have called for immediately closing older plants, and demonstrations have been held or are announced in several cities.
Given the concern of public opinion, German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced the closure for three months of the seven oldest reactors in the country. She also suspended for the same period, extending the lifetime of all reactors, recently decided.
Switzerland has in turn suspended its plans to renew nuclear power stations.
But most European countries, especially trying to calm the game
Poland, which is preparing to build its first plant, said Tuesday that it did not question its program after the events in Japan.
Bulgaria does not envisage at the moment to proceed in anticipation of the closure of its two reactors, planned for 2017 and 2019 respectively, and maintains its plan to build a new plant, while acknowledging that it will seek "the additional assurances about security. "
Rome, which was abandoned after the nuclear accident at Chernobyl in 1986, maintaining its target to return, even if the referendum scheduled for June 12 to endorse this decision is far from won.
"There will be lessons learned, and we will," but "based on real facts," said for his part in the Brussels Swedish Environment Minister Andreas Carlgran.
For him, one must first know the exact consequences in Japan, then "we will analyze what really has relevance for Europe."

Not that I am vein enough to be concerned about my ability to acquire sushi, but I was wondering this morning about what the tsunami and other damage has done to that industry in Japan. Tokyo and the ports there were probably not as badly damaged as things up north, but boats could have been damaged out at sea or close to shore. Shipping travel has to be affected out of Japan.
Doesn't most fish meant for sushi come out of Japan? I feel like I've heard at one point that most sushi comes from one supplier, and there's some kind of organization that approves fish for resale as sushi. Anyone else know anything about this?
- I've heard that the best sushi in Japan comes from Vancouver. Probably not true.nb
- I hate to say it have been thinking about the Canon Lens i was thinking about buying next monthautoflavour
- I am sure it doesn't all come from there but is prob auctioned at tsukiji. Most tuna is caught in AtlanticDrBombay

Reactor 4 is back on fire.
They are saying the major problem they have with Reactor 4 is they cant get close enough to fix it, and the hole in the roof isnt directly above the pool which is catching on fire..
so they cant even drop water on it from a helicopter
