US experts to help battle Japan's nuclear crisis

Mar 15 11:27 PM US/Eastern

Eight experts from the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission were to arrive Wednesday to help Japan battle its nuclear crisis, the foreign ministry said.
It said they would provide technical advice on managing the situation at the Fukushima No 1 atomic power plant 250 kilometres (155 miles) northeast of Tokyo.

A fresh fire broke out at the plant early Wednesday, compounding the emergency. It went out of its own accord later in the morning.

"The government of Japan will cooperate closely with these experts as it makes utmost efforts to solve the problems" at the plant, the ministry said in a statement.

Washington, a close ally of Tokyo, earlier sent a naval task force led by the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan to assist in relief after last Friday's devastating earthquake and tsunami.

The disasters knocked out cooling systems at the plant, causing fuel rods to overheat.

"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
