Fukushima Nuclear Plant still emitting dangerous levels of Radiation

This Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) handout shows an image taken by a gamma ray camera showing the bottom of a ventilation stack standing between Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant's No1 and No2 reactors, where radiation exceeding 10 sieverts (10,000 millisieverts) per hour was found, as shown in red. Pockets of lethal levels of radiation have been detected at Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in a fresh reminder of the risks faced by workers battling to contain the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl.
