Tepco Says Radioactive Reading in Water at No. 2 Was Wrong

Tokyo Electric Power Co. said its analysis of some of the radioactive substances in the water at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi No. 2 reactor’s turbine building was wrong and the company will reanalyze the water.

The reading of 2.9 billion becquerels per cubic centimeter of iodine-134, one of the substances found in the water, may have been wrong, said Naoki Tsunoda, a spokesman at the Tokyo-based utility. The radiation level of more than 1,000 millisieverts per hour at the building probably won’t change, he said.
