Concerns continue to mount over radiation levels around Sendai City, where authorities try to bring a nuclear power plant there under control. And concerns are mounting, as radiation levels in Sendai are four times higher than to its north.<br /><br />It's Sunday in Miyagi prefecture and this journalist is using a Geiger counter to measure radiation levels.<br /><br />He's on a highway that stretches from Tono, a city located some 250 miles to the north of the quake-ravaged Fukushima nuclear plant to Sendai only 124 miles from the stricken nuclear plant.<br /><br />Sendai City is only 69 miles away and radiation levels are slowly increasing. <br /><br />The radiation level is going up gradually as it is measured closer and closer to Sendai.<br /><br />And in Sendai the reading at 0.35 microsievert per hour is four times higher than that in Tono up in the north.<br /><br />Residents in Sendai say they are concerned.<br /><br />[Mr. Kawami, Factory Worker]:<br />"Regarding radiation exposure, I am concerned about the level of radiation in the air. I try to get information, for example by listening to the radio, and when I go outside I am always wearing a mask. I try not to breathe deeply."<br /><br />While progress is being made to avert disaster at the nuclear power plant further contamination is being found in milk, spinach and tap water miles away from the plant.<br /><br />Radioactive dust and particles have also been found in the greater Tokyo area, but authorities say they are not a risk to human health.
