While the levels found in tap water 19 miles away from the nuclear plant were three times above the normal amount, a seawater sample taken yesterday was 126.7 times higher than the legal limit. Since then it’s fluctuated between 16.4 times higher and 80.3 times higher in various spots along the coastline—though none as high as what was found in the town of Namie, 12 miles from the Fukushima plant. Levels 1,600 times higher than what’s considered normal were discovered yesterday. [Kyodo]
