FILE - In this March 25, 2014 file photo, Australia's Defense Minister David Johnston, center, speaks to the media about developments in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 in Perth, Australia. Not one object has been recovered from the missing airliner that Malaysian officials are now convinced plunged into the southern Indian Ocean 17 days ago. Australian Defense Minister Johnston said, “The turning point for us, I think, will be when we pull some piece of debris from the surface of the ocean and positively identify it as being part of the aircraft.” (AP Photo/Rob Griffith, File)

FILE - In this March 21, 2014 file photo, Japanese Air Self-Defense Force's Capt. Junichi Tanoue, left, co-pilot Ryutaro Hamahira, second from left, and engineer Noriyuki Yamanouchi, second from right, scan the ocean aboard a C130 aircraft while it flies over the southern search area in the southeastern Indian Ocean, 200 to 300 kilometers (124 to 186 miles) south of Sumatra, Indonesia. Not one object has been recovered from the missing airliner that Malaysian officials are now convinced plunged into the southern Indian Ocean 17 days ago. Some of the pieces are likely 3,500 meters (11,500 feet) underwater. Others are bobbing in a fickle system of currents that one oceanographer compares to a pinball machine. And by now, they could easily be hundreds of kilometers (miles) away from each other. (AP Photo/Koji Ueda, File)

In this drawing released by Kazuto Tatsuta /KODANSHA, the main character in comic-artist Kazuto Tatsuta's comic “1F: The Labor Diary Of Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant" goes through the daily routine to put on a protective suit and mask before starting his work at the tsunami-crippled plant shattered by meltdown. Tatsuta worked at the plant that suffered three meltdowns after the 2011 tsunami from June to December 2012 in part because he was struggling as a manga artist, but “1F” is his biggest success yet. The opening episode won a newcomer award and was published last year in Morning, a weekly manga magazine with a circulation of 300,000. (AP Photo/Kazuto Tatsuta /KODANSHA)

In this Monday, March 24, 2014 photo, comic-book artist Kazuto Tatsuta draws the main character in his comic "1F: The Labor Diary Of Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant” in his studio outside Tokyo. First off, no one who works at Japan’s wrecked nuclear power plant calls it Fukushima Dai-ichi, Tatsuta says in his book about his time on the job. It’s ichi efu, or 1F. Tatsuta worked at the plant that suffered three meltdowns after the 2011 tsunami, and will take decades to decommission, from June to December 2012 in part because he was struggling as a manga artist, but “1F” is his biggest success yet. “I just want to keep a record for history. I want to record what life was like, what I experienced,” he said. (AP Photo/Koji Sasahara)
