JAPAN-(ENEWSPF)- From DailyMail.co.uk:
Radiation levels are soaring in seawater near the crippled Fukushima plant core, Japanese nuclear safety officials warned today.
Two weeks after the nuclear power plant was hit by a massive earthquake and tsunami, tests on Friday showed radioactive iodine had spiked 1,250 times higher than normal in the seawater just offshore the plant.
The latest setback in preventing further leakage was confirmed as engineers tried to pump puddles of radioactive water from the power plant 150 miles north of Tokyo.
