Plumes of white smoke hung over the Fukushima nuclear complex Wednesday morning, possibly from the plant’s No. 3 reactor. Officials for the Tokyo Electric Power Co. said they did not know the cause of the smoke, but suggested it could be steam.
Meanwhile, Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said an estimated 70% of the nuclear fuel rods have been damaged at the No. 1 reactor and 33% at the No. 2 reactor.
