Japan declares state of emergency at second nuclear power facility after excessive radiation levels were detected at Onagawa plant.


XCESSIVE levels of radiation at a second Japanese nuclear facility after Friday's earthquake have led authorities to report a state of emergency there, the UN nuclear agency said.

'Japanese authorities have informed the IAEA that the first or lowest state of emergency at the Onagawa nuclear power plant has been reported by Tohoku Electric Power Company,' the International Atomic Energy Agency said Sunday.
