Russian scientists find radiation off Fukushima coast

Russian scientists have detected radiation in the north-west of the
Pacific Ocean at a distance between 500-800 km to the east from
Japan’s troubled Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant.

The expedition of the Russian geographical society has detected that
the concentration of cesium-137 in that area exceeds the norm 10
times.

This is the first time when concentration of cesium 137 was found in
the local sea waters while the air is clean.

The level of radiation near the Russian coast is normal.
