CNN Guest said "They can't do it themselves. IAEA should be there."

IAEA wants faster information from Japan
2011-03-16 07:00:00

Vienna, March 16 (DPA) The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) added his voice Tuesday to mounting concerns about the situation at Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant, saying local officials should provide his organization with better and faster information.

'We need more information, more details,' IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano said in Vienna.

The nuclear agency provided a telling example of the extreme information time lag late Tuesday. It belatedly announced that operators at Fukushima had considered to partially dismantle reactor buildings 5 and 6, to prevent a buildup of hydrogen that caused explosions in three other reactors.

The IAEA's statement referred to the state of events at Fukushima more than 17 hours ago, and an agency spokesman was unable to say whether the dismantling had begun.

Japanese IAEA chief Amano told reporters he was worried about recent news from Fukushima because the so-called suppression chamber, which helps lower pressure at the plant's second reactor, might be damaged.

The chamber is part of the primary containment vessel that is supposed to prevent radiation from reaching the environment.
