Fukushima Clean-up Turns Toxic for Japan's TEPCO Jul 30th 2013, 21:42, by webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters) Two-and-a-half years after the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl, the operator of Japan's wrecked Fukushima plant faces a daunting array of unknowns.   Why the plant intermittently emits steam; how groundwater seeps into its basement; whether fixes to the cooling system will hold; how nearby groundwater is contaminated by radioactive matter; how toxic water ends up in the sea and how to contain water that could overwhelm the facility's storage tanks.   What is clear, ...

Teen Girls Learn Firefighting Jul 30th 2013, 22:53, by webdesk@voanews.com (June Soh) Most summer camps for teens revolve around sports, or music and arts, or just for having fun. But some girls in the Washington suburb of Arlington County, Virginia, went to camp to get a taste of what it's like to be a firefighter. This is not a typical summer camp. But Michelle Pawlaw is glad she signed up for it. "Getting to experience the fires hands-on is really cool and something that most people don't get to do," she said.

Voice of America Voice of America is an international news and broadcast organization serving Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia, Russia, the Middle East and Balkan countries

Foreign Fighters in Syria a Potential Security Problem in Other Countries Jul 30th 2013, 22:33, by webdesk@voanews.com (Kokab Farshori) The Assad government in Syria is facing tough opposition from rebels who have been joined by militants from other countries.  These foreign fighters provide firepower to the rebels but experts say they may fight in other countries after the civil war in Syria is over.

The Soviet Union faced foreign fighters in Afghanistan in the 1980s, and more recently, the U.S. faced them in Iraq.  Former CIA official Paul Pillar ...
