Japan: Radioactive Rice Discovered Near Stricken Nuclear Plant 
---------------------------------------------------------------



In news from Japan, concern is growing over the nation's food supply
after the discovery of radioactive rice. Japanese officials say the
contamination level of the rice far exceeded a government-set level for
a pre-harvested crop. The rice was found in the city of Nihonmatsu,
located 35 miles west of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power
plant.
