JAPAN DEAD FEARED TO BE RADIOACTIVE
There is growing concern after one corpse discovered within three miles of the damaged Fukushima power plant north of Tokyo was found to contain high levels.
Rescue workers, police, doctors, and family members have been warned that they risk being exposed to radiation if they collect the bodies.
Radioactive human remains would create a huge problem as cremating them could spread the radiation, while burying them could lead to it simply leaking into the surrounding ground.
The authorities are seeking to decontaminate infected corpses before they can be disposed of.
Meanwhile thousands of people are fleeing the area as radioactive material still leaks from the stricken plant on Japan’s east coast.
The reactors are due to be closed down after the failure to contain the leak, with officials saying the final move would be to encase the plant in concrete to prevent further leaks of radiation.
