High radiation found far from Japan nuke plant

Radiation levels in a village about 25 miles from a nuclear plant in Japan are over the recommended levels according to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Radiation has been found in the soil, the water near the nuclear plant. It has even made its way into produce and dairy.

Japan is now looking the the International Atomic Energy Agency to help prevent future nuclear accidents. Read more
