Fukushima reactors 1,5,6 stable - Japan safety agency

TOKYO, March 17 (Reuters) - Three of the six reactors at the earthquake-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in northern Japan are now relatively stable, officials said on Thursday.

"The first unit is relatively stable, for now," said Hidehiko Nishiyama, a senior official at the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Administration.

He said reactors 5 and 6 were being powered by a shared diesel generator. (Editing by Michael Watson)
