Mars 2011: Kärnkraftverket i Fukushima - utbruten och sammanfogad tråd

Mike Rivero of WhatReallyHappened.com has noted the large increase and also speculated that it may actually be from another power plant. Minutes laters Kyodo News reported that a cooling system has broken at Tokai No. 2 Power Station in the Ibaraki Prefecture.

At this point we do not know if the rising levels are directly connected but obviously it is a possibility and something to continue to follow.

This power plant has had previous critical problems.

Japan's health ministry is urging the people of a village in Fukushima Prefecture not to drink the tap water, in which higher levels of radioactive materials were detected on Sunday

The health ministry says 965 becquerels of iodine-131 were detected in the water, which is 3.2 times the standard. The legal standard is 300 becquerels per kilogram.

Cow milk samples taken by a Fukushima Prefecture dairy farmer 47 kilometers from Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant were found to contain as much as 1,510 becquerel (Bq) of radioactive iodine, about five times the amount permissible under the provisional standards, the prefectural government said.

In Ibaraki Prefecture, radioactive iodine was detected from spinach sampled from farms in Hitachi, Takahagi, Hitachi-Ota and Hitachinaka cities and the town of Daigomachi and the village of Tokaimura. The highest level found was 15,020 Bq, 7.5 times the permissible level.
