A rate of radioiodine up, 4,385 times the legal limit, was measured in seawater collected at 300 meters south of the nuclear accident in Fukushima, TEPCO said, Thursday, March 31. This is the highest measured level of iodine 131 from the beginning of the disaster. This rate of radioiodine was 1 250 times the standard Saturday 1850 times Sunday, and then dropped earlier this week before rebounding sharply on Wednesday at 3355 times the legal limit.

No health hazard traces of plutonium in Fukushima
Workers discovered more deposits of radioactive water is leaking from the damaged Japanese nuclear complex, officials said the plant, while emergency crews struggled to remove hundreds of tons of contaminated water and put the facility under control again. Officials believe the contaminated water has high levels of radioactivity in the coastal resort and has polluted the sea water and soil.
Workers found traces of plutonium in the ground outside the complex, but officials said there was no threat to public health. Japanese Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, said his government was "high alert" to address the problems of the troubled nuclear power plant in Fukushima. Plutonium is present in the fuel complex, which has been leaking radiation for more than two weeks, so the experts predicted it detect anything.

Urge to control leaks of plutonium in Fukushima
.- The Japanese government spokesman, Yukio Edan, said today that it is necessary to monitor the output of plutonium outside reactor at Fukushima Daiichi, but added that the amount found so far is low. According to Edan, plutonium workers found yesterday in Tokyo Electric Power (TEPCO) comes from the fuel rods, due to the composition of the items found, although the amounts found are low.
The Government requested also looking around the center of Fukushima Daiichi to determine if the soil contains plutonium, after yesterday detect small amounts of material in the plant. Plutonium is highly toxic and far more dangerous to human health from radioactive isotopes of iodine and cesium found so far.
