Australians told to leave as nuke crisis continues - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Australians have been told to leave Japan's capital as the earthquake and tsunami-hit country hinges on the verge of nuclear disaster.

So far attempts to bring temperatures down in four reactors at the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant have failed and the US will fly a spy plane to the region to take a closer look at the reactors.

High levels of radiation have been detected at the plant and low levels have been detected wafting over Tokyo, 250 kilometres to the south.
