Cars, people and pets are being scanned for radioactivity at a government screening center at Kawamata City, 60 km from the stricken Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.
A Greenpeace monitoring team found radiation levels high enough to require evacuation in several locations to the northwest of the crisis-stricken Fukushima/Daiichi nuclear plant, including Iitate village, 40km from the plant and 20km beyond the official evacuation zone.
