"Explosion Rocks Japan Nuclear Plant After Quake"

"An explosion at a nuclear power plant in northern Japan on Saturday blew the roof off one building, brought down walls and caused a radiation leak of unspecified proportions, Japanese officials said, after Friday’s huge earthquake caused critical failures in the plant’s cooling system. "

Matthew L. Wald reports for the New York Times March 12, 2011.
