The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission will end its emergency 24-hour monitoring of the reactor crisis in Japan because the situation is “slowly stabilizing,” the agency said.
“As conditions have continued to improve and the Japanese continue to implement their recovery plan, the NRC has determined that it is time to adjust our response,” Bill Borchardt, the NRC’s executive director for operations, said today in a statement on the agency’s website. The NRC still has staff working in Japan, according to the statement.
