Radiation found in playground
Extremely high levels of radiation have been discovered in a playground in Tokyo, officials said on Friday. Soil underneath a slide at the park in the northwest of the Japanese capital showed radiation readings of up to 480 microsieverts per hour, the local administrative office said. Anyone directly exposed to this level would absorb in two hours the maximum dose of radiation Japan recommends in a year.
