Japan asks South Korea for 53 tons of boric acid to aid in nuclear crisis operations
The government of Japan has asked Seoul for 52.6 tons of boric acid to try and keep the damaged reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station cool. Boric acid lowers the temperatures of the reactors by preventing nuclear fission. Korean Minister of Knowledge Economy Choi Joong-kyung said "We'll send it as quickly as possible once we've checked that our stockpile is suitable for the Japanese nuclear plant."
