The level of radioactive iodine
in the sea off Japan's
disaster-hit Fukushima......
nuclear plant has soared to its highest reading yet at 4,385 times the legal limit, the plant operator said.
The level of iodine-131, reported a few hundred metres south of its southern water outlet, has risen in a series of tests since last week. Previous readings taken by plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) were 1,250 times the legal maximum on Friday, 1,850 times the limit on Saturday and 3,355 times the limit on Tuesday. Prime minister Naoto Kan says the stricken nuclear plant at the centre of the world's worst atomic accident since Chernobyl should be decommissioned, news agency Kyodo said. He also said he will look into reviewing plans to build at least 14 more
nuclear reactors by 2030 as a
result of the ongoing crisis.
Quakes continued to shake Japan on Thursday, with one 6.2-magnitude temblor being detected 440 kilometres north east of Tokyo. No tsunami warning was issued.
But despite the escalating disaster, the government says there are no immediate plans to widen the exclusion zone around the stricken plant. Authorities believe the damaged plant may be leaking radiation continuously into the nearby ocean, with fears the increasingly high levels of radiation could impact global shipping. Several shipping operators are either halting services to the ports of Yokohama and Tokyo or have established no-go zones around the Fukushima plant. Analysts fear the moves could upset the global supply chain and hamper Japan's recovery. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says safe radiation limits had been exceeded at Iitate village, 40 kilometres north-west of the plant and well outside the government-imposed 20-kilometre exclusion zone. Japan's top government spokesman, chief cabinet secretary Yukio Edano, said: "The IAEA has informed us the level of radiation in the soil exceeded one of the IAEA standards".
