July 13, 2011, Okumamachi, Japan - A conference gets underway at the Fukushima NO. 1 nuclear power plant's stabilization center on Wednesday, July 13, 2011.
Tokyo Electric Power Co., the plant's operator known as TEPCO, plans to inject nitrogen later on July 14 into the No. 3 reactor to reduce the risks of further hydrogen explosions, a move that would mark further progress toward containing the four-month-old nuclear crisis.The photo was released by TEPCO on July 14.
