The radiation level exceeded the norm is 10 million time

The radiation level in the water at the bottom of the turbine room of Unit 2 nuclear power plant Fukushima-1 exceeded the norm is 10 million times, said on Sunday the operator station - Tokyo Energy.

So, according to TEPCO in water from the basement of the turbine of the second reactor was recorded radiation levels at 2.9 million becquerel per cubic centimeter of water. This level of contamination of almost a thousand times higher than the corresponding figures obtained by the first and third reactors.

The company currently TEPCO is trying to determine where a leak, assuming that the water could come from the damaged reactor.

"Professor, University of Tokyo, Naoto Sekimura told that the leak can occur because of pressure from the container of the second reactor, which is known to be damaged. A container designed to hold the overflow from the reactor," - conveys broadcaster NHK.
