Higher radiation found in water outside Tokyo

RADIATION levels above safety norms for infants were found in the water purification system in Kawaguchi, Saitama prefecture, adjacent to Tokyo, as workers try to contain damage to a quake-hit nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan, Kyodo news agency said today.

Kawaguchi found 120 becquerels of radioactive iodine -- slightly above the recommended limit, Kyodo said. The previous day, Tokyo said it detected 210 becquerels of radioactive iodine at a water purification plant and recommended that infants not be given tap water.
