China Reports Radiation on 2 Japanese Tourists

Not only Japan but the Japanese themselves have apparently become a source of radiation. Radiation "seriously exceeding" safety levels was discovered on two tourists traveling from Japan to eastern China, Chinese officials report. The two were given medical attention at a local hospital, and they pose no risk to others, said officials. The Japanese residents don't live near the nuclear power plant that has been leaking radiation, reports AP.

Radiation has been found in sea water, milk, 11 different crops and tap water in the region around the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant. For more on on that, click here and here. The FDA is blocking imports of milk and vegetables from the affected area. (More Japan stories.)
