The news from Fukushima are a growing concern: Now, plutonium have been found in soil samples. The Japanese news agency Kyodo reported, citing the operating company Tepco (Tokyo Electric Power Co.).
At five different points of the power plant site, the highly toxic heavy metal was found. Plutonium is a high amount of the fuel rods in the reactor 3 and a lower concentration in the spent fuel in cooling ponds of all six reactors. The operating company is believed that the plutonium came from the nuclear fuel of nuclear power.
The exact source is unknown. For the first time said the vice president of Tepco, the operator of the nuclear power plant in "months or years" to overcome the crisis. Tepco now closes even more from that radioactivity entered the groundwater.
