VIENNA, March 13 (Xinhua) -- The first (lowest) state of emergency has been declared at Japan's Onagawa nuclear power plant, theInternational Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Sunday.

The UN nuclear watchdog, however, said the three reactor units at the power plant are now under control, quoting information from the Japanese government.

The alert was declared "as a consequence of radioactivity readings exceeding allowed levels in the area surrounding the plant," IAEA said in a statement, adding Japanese authorities are investigating the source of radiation.
