Tokyo - Japan's prime minister has apologised to farmers and business owners affected by the crippled nuclear power plant that is emitting radiation after being damaged by an earthquake and tsunami two weeks ago.

In a televised address Friday evening, Naoto Kan also thanked the utility workers, firefighters and military personnel for “risking their lives” in efforts to desperately trying to cool the overheated reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant.
