The nuclear power plant affected by the disaster in Japan still emits radiation, but it is unclear what the source of the leak, said a senior official of the UN atomic agency. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also said it had continued to receive data from Japan which confirm "high levels of radioactivity" in foods, particularly spinach, affected locations south of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex.
The latest update of the Vienna-based agency on the nuclear crisis of Japan stressed that the overall situation remains serious, despite some positive developments in restoring power to help stabilize the plant. "We continue to see radiation originating in site (...) and the question is what is the origin? "said James Lyons, an official of the IAEA, in a press conference.
Lyons said he believed there was "no big holes or excessive release" in any of the first three units of the reactor of the plant, but had not confirmed that their containers were completely intact. The uncertainty in the central control damage increased the fear of radioactive contamination in various food products.
Authorities detected the presence of radioactive levels higher than the maximum allowed in broccoli and unpasteurized milk from Ibaraki and Fukushima.
