September 20, 2011, Okumamachi, Japan - A crane hoists a side panel as construction works continue to cover up the heavily damaged Unit 1 reactor of Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in Okumamachi, Fukushima Prefecture, some 210km northeast of Tokyo, on Thursday, September 15, 2011. Tokyo Electric Power Co., the troubled plant operator known as TEPCO, has started the project in covering up the No. 1 reactor building with polyester sheets in a bid to prevent the dispersal of radioactive substances into the air. The roughly one-millimeter-thick sheets will be attached to the steel frames of the 54-meter-high building. To minimize workers' exposure to radiation, the 140-meter-tall crane designed to ward off radiation will set up 62 pre-assembled parts at the reactor in the operation TEPCO hopes to be completed by September. The Photo was released in Tokyo on September 17. (Photo by TEPCO/AFLO) [0006] -mis-
