Workers Pumping Radioactive Water Out of Japan Plant

There are more issues at the Fukushima Daichi nuclear power station.

Radiation levels have soared to 10,000 times above the safety limit and water in the area is also contaminated.

Tests done on seawater samples collected Friday morning have shown that the levels of radioactive iodine in the water are 1,250 times higher than normal, informed the nuclear and industrial safety agency. The levels were 50 becquerels of radioactive iodine per cubic centimeters of water. This compares to 4 becquerels, 104 times above normal.
