Searching for radiation-resistant rice

FUKUSHIMA, Japan - Foreign-originated brands of rice are grown in an experimental rice field at the Fukushima Agricultural Technology Center in Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture, on Aug. 18, 2011. The research agency has been examining around 110 varieties of rice from inside and outside Japan in the search for strains that absorb less radioactive cesium from soil, following the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
