industry minister officially told tepco president hirose the business plan's approval. the government has controlled the company since 2012. tepco officials want to restart reactors at their kashiwazaki kariwa plant at early as july. they also plan to rebuild aging thermal power plants and find cheaper imported fuel for thermal power generation. they're forecasting an annual profit of more than $950 million. it would allow them to gradually lower electricity rates. tepco is looking at creating a new division to deal with the growing problem of contaminated water at fukushima daiichi and to dismantle reactors. it has set aside $19 billion for the work. >> translator: tepco should show the people, and to show them that the company's changing and it will keep on changing. you should do this through your efforts and action. >> the government has increased the limit of its interest-free loans to tepco to $86 billion. the utility is using the money for decontamination efforts, and to compensate evacuees. company officials plan to streamline management, and close local offices

he said the plan will push tepco gradually toward a recovery from the disaster. techco's president naomi hirose told reporters his company was late in dealing with the problems last year. he's included a radioactive water spill at the damaged plant. hirose said he will make sure that tepco will do its best this year to resolve the problems. he also said the utility will support the local residents to return to their communities. >>> all right. that is going to do it for biz tonight. let's close things out with the markets. >>> tragedy has hit a japanese couple on heir honeymoon in ecuador. they were attacked by gunmen and the husband was killed. ecuadoran authorities say they have identified several suspects. nhk world has more. >> reporter: the shootings happened on december 28th in ecuador's largest city guayaquil. tetsuo hitomi and his wife marito came out of the hotel after dinner and took a taxi. they were then attacked by gunmen. police say tetsuo was 28 years old. marito is 27. >> translator: the man was lying with his legs towards the street. >> translato

there's been a just information campaign both from i think obviously tepco and the japanese government with its secrecy law coming in which is made things extremely difficult down to you know who's giving us correct information on the ground and i'm one of those people on the ground and i have to look at that as well so the people that i trust are primarily at this point citizens who have monitors i do trust us we have we've made an effort to create a monitoring team of people across the united states across north america canada. europe everywhere south america to read what's coming in in the air and try to detect as best we can what's happening in the ocean and what's coming down in fallout so that that's where i go i go to the people first thank goodness for that before we get into the actual radiation levels and what red cause is doing let's talk really quickly about this latest news about the mysterious smoke i mean radiation levels at the regime are too high for an. human and there without receiving obviously a dangerously high dose so when all these people are saying that this my

tepco told us we can only spend one hour inside the plant.ny more time and we risk harmful radiation exposure. radiation right here alone, about 2,000-times higher than outside fukushima. 1,500 highly-radioactive fuel rods inside this pool. they have to move them outside of the reactor and into a safer location. it is a vital, some say first step to shut down this plant. a process that will take 40 years. and here's what tepco says it's doing to stop the radiation from entering the pacific. under this concrete, there's a chemical barrier that prevents the water from floating out. these steel tanks right here, another barrier. and that orange buoy over there is a silk fence, another barrier. three right here to keep contaminated water from going into the ocean. will you ever know how much contaminated water has made its way from this power plant into that ocean? tepco's spokesman tells me, it's difficult to give an accurate number. so, we joined a team of scientists on the hunt for answers. what they say they find, radiation 1,000-times higher

inside, the tokyo electric power company or tepco is struggle to go contain the ongoing nuclear disaster. the japanese government says the situation is under control. so we traveled here to find out whether that is, in fact, true or if the world still needs to be worried. david mcneill has been covering the disaster since it began nearly three years ago. >> how serious a crisis do we still have in japan? >> well, i think in is an ongoing crisis. what you have had is a series of ad hoc strategies designed to deal with the crisis that's right in front of you. >> the fukushima meltdown unfolded in a cascade of disasters. each one, more frightening than the last the native earthquake which triggered a 30-foot tsunami. the meltdowns, explosions, attempts to keep fuel rods from overheating and the leaks of radioactive water into the pacific ocean. now, nearly three years later, the most pressing worry is the spent fuel rods still precariously stored in an unstable reactor 4. >> they have thousands of these fuel rods, the and they have to extract one by one. >> last month, tepco began the dange

he says tepco's top priority is to lay out a clear plan this year for solving the contaminated water problem at fukushima daiichi. >> a lot of work ahead of them. water is a continuing challenge. control of the containment of the water is a complex matter, complicated site with groundwater movements. >> reporter: groundwater becomes tainted hour after hour at the plant. it seeps into the damaged reactor buildings and mixes with melted fuel. workers pump up about 400 tons of it every day. all they can do is store it in tanks, about 1,000 containers dot the site and tepco officials plan to build more. they're cooperating with the japanese government to take drastic measures to stop the buildup. they plan to surround reactor buildings and other facilities with pipes and then pumping refridge rants to build a kind of ice wall. they believe this will keep fresh groundwater out. underground tunnels are another problem. engineers also plan to stop highly contaminated water from seeping into the sea via those tunnels. in this case, they plan to block the flow of tainted water from reactor bu

tepco has built thousands of tanks to store the water and they are running out of space. >> the thanks, it's a forest of tanks, if you like, over a thousand of them. >> then the ground water. the power company admitted this fall that contaminated groundwater is flowing into the pacific at a volume of an olympic-size swimming pool every week. it's this day tluj worries many americans it is shown spreading throughout the pacific. professor alyama is a scientist at the meteorological institute of a japan who has spent his career studyy the spread from influentialing tests. now, he is studying fukushima. >> what people in the united states are wanting to know is when that water will reach u.s. soil. >> okay. >> what would you say >> translator: may, april and may about one year after of the accident, 2012. >> the professor calculates that the radiation will slow, sink, and then harmlessly decay over decades as pacific currents turn most of it towards southeast asia and the indian ocean. >> so i can say the people in the western coast are safe. >> because tep co captures most of the contami

tepco lied. i don't understand how you can place a ship the size of a character into a clear plume for over five hours, suck up contaminants into the water system of the ship and expect there to be no harm whatsoever to the human life. >> regarding the possible effects of exposure a defense spokesperson wrote: >> at no point am i ever casting blame or pointing blame at beauty in the u.s. government because i believe if they had accurate information things would have been done differently. >> sea born says the lawsuit is not about the money. what i'm looking for is money for a medical fund. some place for 70,000 people, making sure that we are taken care of down the road when we need it. >> joining us from san diego is michael sea born, navy sailor, and dealt with aircraft personnel that flew into the area after the tsunami. it's good to have you with us. first, as we heard in the story, you have been through a lot. >> physically i have my issues, but i'm okay, day by day, i'm doing good, thank yo

though critics are skeptical, tepco is up to the task.r we get to the ruins of the meltdown, our detectors climb. it is a serious warning. tepco tells us we can only spend one hour inside the plant. any more time and we risk harmful radiation exposure. radiation right here alone, about 2,000 times higher than outside fukushima. 1500 highly radioactive rods inside this pool. they have to move them outside this reactor to a safer location. it is a vital first step to shut down this plant, a process that will take 40 years. and here's what tepco says it's doing to block the radiation from entering the pacific. >> underneath this, there is a chemical barrier that prevents the water from flowing out. these steel tanks right here, another barrier, and that orange buoy over there is a silt sense in this area alone to keep contaminated water from going into the ocean. >> will you ever know how much contaminated water has made its way from this power plant into that ocean? tepco spokesman tells me it's difficult to give an accurate number. so we j

they say that the company that owns the fukushima power plant, tepco knew there were dangerous radiation levels in the area and said nothing and let means and ships go into that area. >> that's correct. it's almost -- we take -- we take operational risk measurements when we're deciding what we're going to do, the level of assistance that we can give to the japanese people, of course, our first reaction was to go help, but we're not going to put ourselves in undue harm's way to be able to go assist, so we took what they said, what tepco was saying and high-ups in the military came up with a man on how close we could get, the kind of every and relief efforts that we could based on what we were being told, and it turns out what we were being told was false. >> you were doing your work in an american air base that was quite a distance from fukushima. what was happening was you were then dealing, checking air means as they came back and helicopters as they came back from the area and you found some incredibly high numbers as you were doing that. >> that's correct. we started off our base had

but tepco has made progress. this is what they want us to see the heart of the decommissioning work taking place here in reactor 4. following the earthquake and tsunami in 2011, hydrogen explosion tore off the roof of the reactor. >> at the time, reactor 4 was not in use but that explosion sent debris and chunks every concrete into the pool where the nuclear fuel was being stored. we were abled watch the delicate and dangerous work of removing some of the 1500 radioactive fuel rod assemblies. if they break they could release more radioactive gases. they have removed 15% of the fuel from reactor 4 but it will be far more difficult to retrieve fuel from 3 other reactors that melted down. those are so radioactive that the technology to dismantle them does not exist. tepco injects hundreds of tons of water daily into the reactors to keep them cool but ground water is pouring into the damaged reactors and has to be pumped out and stored. they can't build these tanks fast enough. an additional 400 tons of contaminated

feel that tepco is equipped to do this?ead in the three melted down reactors which are still so radioactive that the technology to retrieve that fuel has not yet been developed. to try to keep the reactors cool, every day tepco injects 400 tons of water into them but that contaminated water mixes with groundwater that leaks into the reactors. >> this was all a thick forest behind me surrounding the plant and the forest has been chopped down to make way for these tanks to store the contaminated water. before being escorted out we were checked for radiation levels just like the 4300 decontamination workers who go through this every week day. decommissioning this plant is work that will likely stretch on for 40 years. for "cbs this morning" seth doane japan. >> nice piece. >> very nice. >>> we turn now to this, he influenced bob dillon joan baez and bruce spring steeng. pete seeger is being remembered as america's connence and folk music. he was part of folk's revival.

tepco, the tokyo corporation that operated the nuclear plant, is now virtually bankrupt. japan's leaders are struggling to continue payouts to tens of thousands of their citizens who may never be able to return to homes contaminated by radiation. adding to the financial burden now are collapsing property values in contaminated areas and related increases nationally in the costs of alternative coal, gas, and oil. and then there is another human dimension: the slow future unfolding of cancer cases in those exposed to contaminants, particularly children. in february, 2013, a world health organization report said that radiation from fukushima posed minimal health risk to the general population of japan. but the w.h.o. acknowledged that emergency workers at the plant who inhaled high doses of radioactive iodine face an increased risk of developing thyroid cancer, and that children exposed as infants in areas closest to the power plant have a slightly elevated risk of contracting leukemia, breast, or thyroid cancer in their lifetimes. critics say that the health impacts of fuku
