Japan’s nuclear radioactivity reaches Pakistan
The radioactive radiation emissions from the Fukushima nuclear plant are reported to reach Pakistan. According to the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), small traces of airborne radioactive iodine were detected in Pakistan.
The scientists are saying that the amount of radiation detected in Pakistani air, does not pose a serious threat to the environment so far.
Europe, north-western Asia and India have already banned imports from Japan.
A 9.2 magnitude earthquake hit Japan on March 11 that cracked the Fukushima nuclear power plant. Scientists said that the intensity of radiation at the stricken-plant was equal to many atomic bombs’ explosion.
