Japan tests sea for radiation near crippled plant

(Reuters) – Japanese authorities tested sea-water off a badly damaged nuclear plant for radiation on Tuesday.

Reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, 240 km (150 miles) north of Tokyo, have leaked radiation after they were struck on March 11 by a massive earthquake and tsunami that led to the world’s worst nuclear crisis in a quarter of a century.

In a desperate attempt to cool the reactors and their spent fuel ponds, workers have sprayed or dumped tonnes of sea-water into the cooling system. But several experts have questioned what happens to the water after that.

“I’m interested to know how this water is being disposed …if it is being disposed or just allowed to drain to sea,” said Najmedin Meshkati, a nuclear and environmental expert at the University of Southern California.

“This is now radioactive waste water. Has there been any measurement of its radiation effect?”

Officials have acknowledged that some of the water spilled back to sea.

Hidehiko Nishiyama, deputy director-general at the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, said the radioactivity in the sea could be both from water used to cool the plant and air-borne particles from the reactors. MORE ON THIS STORY HERE
