Japan: Levels of Radiation at Fukushima Nuclear Plant are "Unimaginable"
------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in Japan, scientists say the radiation levels inside a damaged
reactor at the Fukushima nuclear power plant are at the highest point
since the nuclear plant's meltdown six years ago. On March 11, 2011, a
massive earthquake and tsunami hit the northeast coast of Japan, killing
20,000 people. Another 160,000 then fled the radiation in Fukushima. It
was the world's worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. Experts are
calling the radiation levels now detected at the plant "unimaginable."
