On 25 March, Japan's nuclear regulator announced a likely breach and radiation leak in the containment vessel of the unit 3 reactor, the only one at the plant using MOX fuel.[7][8][9] World wide measurements of radioactive fallout released from the reactors were reported by New Scientist to be "nearing Chernobyl levels". It reported that the preparatory commission of theComprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization had measured levels of iodine-131 at 73% and caesium-137 at 60% the levels released from the Chernobyl disaster.[10] Food grown in the area was banned. Tokyo officials declared its tap water unsafe for infants for a short time.[11][12] Plutonium has been detected in the soil around the plant in five locations [13] The soil samples were taken on 22 March 2011.
