our chief environmental correspondent, anne thompson, has more on that story from our london bureau tonight. anne, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, brian. for the first time japan declared an atomic energy at two nuclear power plants and japanese officials say they have lost control of two reactors. the fear is those reactors could be headed for a meltdown. the plants are in fukushima, about 150 miles north of tokyo, where some 30 million people live and 50 miles from senda home to one million. officials ordered residents within a six-mile area of the plants to evacuate. the reactors in question are designed by general electric, one of the part owners of nbc universal. this problem started with a power outage caused by the quake, causing cooling systems in some of the reactors to fail. those systems sent water to lower the temperature of the fuel. there should be backup systems, but apparently those aren't working. if the cooling system is interrupted, the fuel can overheat, melt and release a large amount of radioactivity. there are also reports tonight that the radiation levels in
