In this May 13, 2011 photo released by Tokyo Electric Power Co., workers wearing a radiation protection suit prepare for a cooling system to be used for the No. 1 reactor at Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in Okuma, Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan. The Fukushima plant lost its power and cooling systems in the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, triggering fires, explosions and radiation leaks in the world's worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl in 1986.
