VIENNA (AP) — Japanese officials reporting on the
aftermath of the Fukushima disaster say that gamma rays from the rubble left by
the accident are now a greater concern than radioactive cesium still being
emitted from the crippled nuclear plant.
A report to an International
Atomic Energy Agency meeting presented Monday says that cesium being released
from the plant is at approximately 0.01 becquerels per hour, well below the
health-hazard level. Shinichi Kuroki, who presented the report, says the
greater challenge is to reduce relatively high gamma ray radiation from the
plant debris.
A powerful earthquake and tsunami
hit the Fukushima plant 17 months ago, overwhelming its safety systems and
spreading radioactivity over a large area.
IAEA chief Yukiya Amano urged
delegates to maintain their “sense of urgency” on post-Fukushima nuclear
safety.
