Another article from NHK News :
" Japan's top government spokesman says the government and experts are considering whether to cover the reactor buildings at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant with a special material, to stop the spread of radioactive substances.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano told reporters on Wednesday the experts are also examining the use of a tanker to collect irradiated water at the plant.
Edano said a variety of options are being studied to minimize radioactive contamination in areas around the plant, and to prevent health hazards.
He said working-level discussions are underway on the new measures and a political decision will probably be sought at some stage.
He said the whole situation is not at a point where he can responsibly say when the reactors will be brought under control. He said it will likely take a considerable amount of time before the fuel rods in the reactors and spent fuel pools cool down and stabilize."
