OSAKA: The operator of the stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant on Saturday said engineers had bored holes in the roofs of the buildings housing reactors 5 and 6 to avoid a potential gas explosion.
"Due to fears of a hydrogen gas build up from spent fuel pools in reactors 5 and 6, TEPCO has bored three 3.0-7.5 centimetre (1.0-3.0 inch) holes in the roofs of the reactor buildings," a spokesman for the company said.
