Radioactivity increases in sea-water off Japan nuclear plant

Radioactive iodine in sea-water off Japan’s crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant rose to 1,850 times the usual level from 1,250 times measured yesterday, Japan’s nuclear safety agency said today.

Separately, senior agency official Hidehiko Nishiyama said leakage from reactor vessels was likely to have been the cause for high levels of radiation found in water that has accumulated in turbine buildings.

The radioactive water within the plant has hampered workers from restoring its cooling systems. — Reuters

  3. Masalah nuklear ini telah menyebabkan masalah ridiasi timbul kerana kebocoran tenaga nuklear fukushima..Jadi jika kerajaan ingin mencadang membina tenaga nuklear, pastikanlah telah dirancang sebaiknya dengan ada dugaan sekalipun. Jika tidak ia akan mengancam kesalamatan rakyat.
