*** IMO, this is leaving out the information in the OP that says plutonium has been found in areas far from the plant. The article points to reasons for this possible cover-up. It will taint the MOX business since more than the international limit has been released

Meanwhile, small amounts of plutonium believed to have been released as a result of the ongoing disaster have been detected in soil samples taken at the nuclear complex in Fukushima Prefecture, TEPCO said.

It is the third time that traces of plutonium have been found in soil samples taken at the plant. The latest samples were taken on March 31 and April 4. The levels of plutonium in them were about the same levels observed in Japan following previous nuclear tests elsewhere, according to the utility.
