GreenPeace

Sendai-nuclear scientists from the international environmental organization Greenpeace began a radiation monitoring around nuclear power plants Fuksuhima.
 
Greenpeace believed the Japanese authorities have down played the impact of the earthquake and tsunami that occurred in theNPP. Greenpeace wants to measure radiation levels and radiation risk to local residents.
 
"Since the beginning of the nuclear crisis in Fukushima, the Japanese authorities seem too underestimated the risk as well asthe continued widespread radioactive contamination. We come to Fukushima to witness the impact of this crisis and give our view onthe impact of radioactive contamination, "explained the radioactive safety advisor Jan van de Putte of Greenpeace told AFP onSaturday (03/26/2011).
 
Environmental agencies will provide alternative information that is often contrary to the information issued by the Japanese nuclear regulators.
 
The statement was issued when Japan's nuclear safety agencysaid the Fukushima nuclear power plant operators had detected a radioactive iodine sea with the level of 1,250 times the legal limit.
