Fukushima radiation levels continue to rise

  • 11 years ago
Recorded radiation levels at Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant continue to rise, with the latest readings showing a jump of more than 20 percent, according to the country's nuclear regulator. The station's operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co, or Tepco, said on Wednesday that the higher levels are due to more sensitive detection equipment and that no new leaks had been detected.
