Workers at the Fukushima power plant evacuated on Wednesday since radiation levels were too high. This interrupted the Japanese attempt to cool down the over heating. An hour later, they were let back in to continue work on the reactors. The reactors are made to stop automatically in the event of an earthquake and use backup generators to pump cooling water, yet because of the tsunami, these stopped an hour later because of the failure of the backup generator.
