Last March radioactive cesium spewed from the wrecked Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant over rural areas containing rice fields. It also was dispersed into the atmosphere and into the sea. The radiation contamination is working its way into the food supply and is being found in meats, milk, fungi and plants. In the fall, in the […]
High Radioactivity Found Far From Japanese Reactor
Very high levels of radioactive cesium, believed to be from Japan’s tsunami-nuclear disaster last March, have been found by independent researchers in the city of Fukushima, nearly 40 miles from the crippled reactors. The 307,000 becquerels of cesium per kilogram found well outside the current evacuation zone is three times the benchmark established by the […]
Cracked Fukushima Radioactive Steam Escapes Danger Zone
Workers at Japan’s Fukushima plant say the ground under the facility is cracking and radioactive steam is escaping through the cracks. The cooling system at the plant failed after the devastating tsunami hit Japan in March, sparking a nuclear crisis. But new evidence suggests that Fukushima reactors were doomed to cripple even before the massive […]
