WASHINGTON, April 5 (UPI) -- Though air monitors in the United States recovered more nuclear material from a crippled Japanese nuclear plant, there is no U.S. health concern, the EPA said.
Radiation levels near Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant are well above normal and officials have begun dumping tons of water that had been used to cool the reactors into the sea. A magnitude-9 earthquake followed by a tsunami struck northeastern Japan March 11, causing major damage to a series of nuclear sectors in the area.
