Cesium levels in water under Fukushima No. 1 plant soar the deeper it gets, Tepco reveals [...]
Tepco found 950 million becquerels of cesium and 520 million becquerels of beta ray-emitting radioactive substances, including strontium, in the water from 13 meters [~43 feet] underground.
Water from 1 meter down contained 340 million becquerels, and a sample from 7 meters down contained 350 million becquerels.
[...] Cesium, a metallic element, is subject to gravity. [...]See also:
