Govt begins disaster briefings for foreign media
The move comes in response to rising concerns overseas about radioactive leakage from the troubled nuclear plant.
The first such briefings for reporters from overseas were held at the prime minister's official residence on Monday.
Speaking through a translator, Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Tetsuro Fukuyama and nuclear safety agency officials explained the efforts to bring the damaged nuclear plant under control. They also spoke about radiation levels in various locations.
Questions asked by the overseas reporters covered how the disaster has affected the Japanese economy and what impact it will have on the country's future nuclear policy.
A US journalist welcomed the Japanese government's decision to share more information, but stressed the need for quick updates on radiation levels to respond to high global concerns.
