Scientists have discovered a new source of radiation near Fukushima

Six years radioactive substance remained unnoticed in the Sands on the coast.

100 km from Fukushima nuclear power plant, scientists have discovered a new source of radiation, said the National Academy of Sciences USA (PNAS).

Experts say that in the six years since the nuclear accident, radioactive cesium was in the sand and groundwater on the coast and remained unnoticed by scientists.

The presence of a new source of radiation near Fukushima were recorded in connection with the hits of particles in the ocean. According to scientists, detection of a radioactive substance near the site of the accident was a surprise to them.

Recall March 11 in Japan has honored the memory of victims of the earthquake, tsunami and accident at the nuclear power plant Fukushima-1.

At 14.46 local time – at a time when tragedy began six years ago, the country observed a minute of silence is about 18.5 thousand dead March 11, 2011.

That day the North-East coast of the country was struck by the powerful over the observation time of the earthquake of magnitude 9 points. Tremors caused a tsunami, which ultimately lead to the shutdown of cooling systems at a nuclear power plant. At the station there were several explosions and a major radiation leak into the atmosphere.
