this is r.t. coming to live from moscow with marina joshie radioactive material has been detected in seawater around pans from plants with concentration levels two hundred forty times higher than safe limits scientists warn that the elements strong as highly dangerous to humans as it can accumulate and bones and is believed to cause cancer on thomas has been to a city to measure radiation levels. here we are eighty kilometers away and the radiation levels in this area in many many places in many instances are much. really close because if you look at a map of where fukushima city is in relation to the actual nuclear facility that's plant number one where a lot of that radiation. from the winds are bringing that radiation in to

fukushima city and the rain and the wind is blowing the radiation in this direction so we were at a spot where the radiation levels were one thousand times what is considered to be a safe dose of so. very very dangerous levels and so scientists who that we are working with today from different universities are working together on projects to try to figure out ways to use a simple methods to actually clean that radiation up these guys actually tell you the. i working to contaminate the soil right now. and as you can see these two gentlemen are wearing any protective clothing that the scientists are so one of the concerns is that you can actually have one spot which it's only thirty times in the accepted normal levels and then you go to another spot which is just a metre away and it can jump to five hundred to a thousand times the pentagon where rain water and mud have collected one of the

concerns of course is that grass is it can. filter for nuclear ready i think material and are drawn to grassy places and when they go to those areas they could actually be absorbing your radiation from the grass as well so what's interesting is this area that we're in right now is considered a safe area it is not considered a mandatory evacuation area but authorities are looking into to see whether it should be considered evacuation or at least within the city should be evacuated because of the the very very high micro places. if you will where the radiation is the charts. chon thomas there it's actually many crisis has also sand shock waves through the world's motor industry as rumors cause potential buyers to lose face and japanese cars reports suggest that contaminated vehicles are finding their way into the european market are just like yours ascii has more.

al has been contemplating a change of heart car for months a fan of japanese vehicles she wanted to upgrade her old fraud or two when you were model but her car dealing friend said it was not the right time but the us could also you know i was told privately that all new japanese cars are radioactive because of the fukushima disaster the shipment was supposedly blocked by the authorities. but unofficial dealers bribed them and got those cars on to the streets officials at the ports left off our question whether there had been any contaminates of course here after the japanese fallout these off roaders worship in before the fukushima disaster in japan and even they were checked for radiation authorities claim there's absolutely no chance of contaminated making their way onto the territory because if these guys arrived to us transiting through greek and turkish ports if anything was wrong it would have been spotted there in the first

place but we still double check all vehicles for any milo yuko freckly these images however ecologists say these checks may not be enough to determine radiation growing is a radioactive particles are very small and. they can be found in fields just radiators inside small parts that's why it's very difficult to detect them with regular geiger counters and the disposal of the customs units experts say the sale of contaminated steel is not something new for ukraine these shorts were filmed inside the chernobyl exclusion zone several years ago scavengers stealing contaminated radiators from the girls down of one costs around twenty dollars on the black market tens of thousands have been removed from the zone radioactive particles may be small but are still gravely dangerous a person subjected to them for a lengthy period can experience various long diseases and even cancer so yes the temptations are by. in the jeffries car is still hard to resist experts advise
