Radiation from Japan reaches UK

Radioactivity from the Fukushima plant in Japan was reported to have reached the UK on Tuesday, specifically Glasgow, in the form of low levels of iodine. Traces were picked up in the city on Friday. 

Back at the nuclear reactor itself, workers are attempting to prevent the water used to cool the buildings from escaping into the sea, thereby contaminating a greater expanse. The discovery of plutonium nearby has caused the government to admit that the situation is “very serious”. 

The employees of the operator, TEPCO, are still striving in great danger to bring conditions back under control, but are seemingly confronted by a new obstacle every day.
