No one knew it was leaking until a worker found it on May 11. The amount of radioactive materials in the leaking water was far less than the pit water gushing from the Reactor 2 back in early April. Reactor 3 uses MOX fuel. TEPCO announced on May 11 evening that a high concentration of...

Fukushima, May 1 (Jiji Press)--High levels of radioactive cesium have been found in sewage sludge in Fukushima Prefecture, northeastern Japan, the prefectural government said Sunday. The sludge at a treatment center in Koriyama had 26,400 becquerels of radioactive cesium per kilogram. Slag...

Link RemovedWorkers in Japan are still struggling to limit environmental contamination at the Fukushima plant. The latest problem has been a break that is allowing heavily contaminated water flow directly into the ocean, a leak that has continued despite two attempts to plug it. Meanwhile...

Radioactive water is leaking into the sea from a 20-centimetre (8-inch) crack in a containment pit at Japan's quake-hit Fukushima nuclear plant, its operator Tepco has said. The crack under reactor 2 may be the source of recent radiation in coastal waters, Tepco officials said. Tepco is...

The International Atomic Energy Agency weighed in on the simmering nuclear crisis with alarming radiation data, but the government said Thursday it has no plans for now to expand the current evacuation zone. The international nuclear watchdog said Wednesday in Geneva it detected about 2...

Radiation in seawater at new high Radiation 4,385 times higher than the legal standard has been detected in seawater at a location 330 meters south of the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Tokyo Electric Power Company says 180 becquerels per cubic centimeter of radioactive iodine-131...

No need to panic = again !

Radiation levels in sea water near Japan's damaged Fukushima nuclear plant have reached more than 3,000 times the legal limit, officials said, as efforts continue to bring the country's nuclear crisis under control. Japan's nuclear safety agency said on Wednesday that water near the crippled...

RADIATION levels that can prove fatal were detected outside reactor buildings at Japan’s Fukushima No.1 plant for the first time, complicating efforts to contain the worst disaster since Chernobyl in 1986. Water in an underground trench outside the No.2 reactor had levels exceeding one sievert...

The radioactivity in water in one unit of a hobbled nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan has tested 10 million times higher than normal, the plant's operator said Sunday. Leaked water in Unit 2 of the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant measured at 1,000 millisieverts per hour, Tokyo Electric Power...
