TEPCO found water with 5 million times the legal limit of radioactivity

Because of the ocean contamination the Japanese government is considering imposing restrictions on seafood.

There is 60,000 tons of contaminated water which will likely end up in the ocean.

odine-131 in the water near the sluice gate of reactor No. 2 hit a high on April 2 of 7.5 million times the legal limit. 


"After detailed discussions, it was concluded that since the radiation is spreading/expanding horizontally in other parts of Japan, it may result in further radioactive contamination in the supply chain of food exports from Japan," a statement from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said.

""We have borne the risks, co-existed and flourished with TEPCO for more than 40 years, and all these years, we have fully trusted the myth that nuclear plants are absolutely safe," said Katsuya Endo, the mayor of Tomioka town."
