Puddles with 10 million times more radioactivity than would be found in water in a normally functioning nuclear reactor have been discovered at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi facility, Japanese officials said Sunday, raising new questions about the extent of damage to reactor No. 2 and the threat to workers there.
The water was found in the turbine building of the No. 2 reactor, and Tokyo Electric Power Co. said it was trying to pinpoint the source of the radiation. The Nucelar and Industrial Safety Agency said the water was 10,000 times as radioactive as the water at the No. 3 reactor trubine building where two workers were injured last week.

Высокий уровень радиации (около 1 Зиверт/час) свидетельствует о наличии трещин как во втором, так и в третьем реакторе. Между тем возрастает также уровень радиации в прибрежных водах. Радиацию из Японии уже донесло до Лос-Вегаса.
