Nuclear regulators in Japan have reported that radiation levels in Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant are “exceedingly high” and are worse than previously thought.

Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) said in a report a significant amount of radioactive materials apparently were attached to shield plugs in the containment vessels in the No. 2 and No. 3 reactors, reported the Asahi Shimbun newspaper.
