A government panel proposed additional measures to lessen the contaminated water crisis at Japan’s crippled nuclear power plant, saying Tuesday, Dec. 3, that current plans are not enough to prevent the risk of a disaster.

Japanese regulators on Oct. 30 formally approved the removal of fuel rods from the cooling pool at the damaged Unit 4 reactor building considered the highest risk at the crippled nuclear plant. Removing the fuel rods is the first major step in a decommissioning process that is expected to last decades at the Fukushima plant, where three reactors melted down after the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

Workers will begin removing radioactive fuel rods Monday, Nov. 18, 2013, from one of four reactors at the crippled Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said. The painstaking and risky task is a crucial first step toward a full cleanup of the earthquake and tsunami-damaged plant in northeastern Japan. (AP Photo/Tomohiro Ohsumi, File)
