Fukushima fish radiation may indicate leak: study

Fukushima fish radiation may indicate leak: study: Tokyo (AFP) Oct 25, 2012



Higher-than-normal radiation levels found in fish caught off Japan's east coast more than a year after the Fukushima nuclear disaster could indicate the plant is still leaking, new research says.

Marine chemist Ken Buesseler of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution reviewed official Japanese data on caesium levels in fish, shellfish and seaweed collected near the crippled nuclear plant.
