Radioactive bottles removed from Tokyo house

TOKYO, Japan - Drums containing bottles with radioactive substances are loaded into a vehicle beside a house (L) in Tokyo's Setagaya Ward on Oct. 14, 2011. Several dozen bottles deemed to be the source of high levels of radiation detected in the area were found under the floor of the house by government officials. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is almost certain the powder inside the bottles is radium, easing public anxiety that the radiation could have been related to the nuclear crisis at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant over 200 kilometers away.
