Nuclear Danger Zone 40 Kilometers

UN Nuclear Oversight Agency (IAEA) considers the need for expansion of nuclear radiation hazard zones of the Fukushima Daiichi reactor.

According to records AP and AFP on Thursday (31/03/2011), the IAEA recommends the Japanese government expanded the zone up to 40 kilometers radisu.

Until now, the Japanese government is already setting the danger zone at a distance of 20 kilometers. "I think this condition is not something that requires an immediate action," Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary said Yukio Edano, responding to the suggestion that the IAEA.

"But the facts about the high levels of radiation can indeed harm humans nyama in the long term," added Edano.

"Thus, strict government monitoring of radiation levels increase and we will take security precautions if necessary," he added.
Meanwhile, the environmental activist group Greenpeace said their experts to ensure radiation danger was on the level of 10 per hour in the region microsieverts Iitate. "We find the facts that are not safe Iitate live human being, especially for children and pregnant women," said Greenpeace.

Increased nuclear radiation did not only occur on land. The level of radioactive iodine in the waters around the Fukushima nuclear power plant also increased up to 4385 above the permitted limit. Figures of this radiation was the highest since 11 March.

On Wednesday, the levels of radioactive iodine is expected to reach 3355 at the upper limit of normal. While previously the level of radioactive iodine at the level of 1850 times above the normal limit. Raodiaktif iodine is the cause of thyroid cancer in children victims of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.

Director General of the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency of Japan (NISA) Hidehiko Nishiyama said that the level of radioactive iodine is currently not endanger the health of residents because they were evacuated to a safe area.
The Japanese government has already banned fishing in the waters near the Fukushima nuclear power plant, because it was feared the fish in the region exposed to radiation carried by the waves. However, the government still believes this condition will not interfere with marine life.
