Cruise finds Fukushima pollution
Radioactive elements from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant have been detected in seawater and marine organisms up to 600km from Japan.

The results come from a research cruise in June last year led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI).
The initial findings were presented to the biennial Ocean Sciences Meeting.
