NAIROBI, April 2, Kyodo

International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Yukiya Amano on Friday warned of a prolonged battle to end the ongoing nuclear crisis in quake-hit Japan.

''In order to say everything is normal...I would say it would take more time than people think,'' Amano said at a press conference after meeting with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon in the Kenyan capital.

The IAEA chief reiterated that the situation at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant remains ''very serious.''

At the same press conference, Ban also expressed anxiety about the current crisis, saying, ''We remain deeply concerned about the situation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station.''

''Let us rededicate ourselves to help the people of Japan who are still bravely recovering from the devastating earthquake and tsunami that killed so many people and displaced so many more,'' Ban said.
