Work to reduce radiation in Tokyo

TOKYO, Japan - Workers measure radiation levels at a blocked road beside the premises of a supermarket in Tokyo's Setagaya Ward on Nov. 15, 2011, before an operation to lower the levels. The high radiation levels in the area are apparently not related to an accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, as a buried bottle containing radium was removed at the supermarket site earlier in the month.

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.

Japanese professor finds Curie's notebook has radium

NAGOYA, Japan - This photo shows the cover of a notebook used by Polish-French chemist and physicist Marie Curie (1867-1934), in which Japanese scholar Chizuo Mori, a professor at Aichi Institute of Technology, found radium still generating radiation. The Nobel prize-winning Curie apparently used the notebook, now kept in Meisei University in Tokyo, between 1919 and 1933. The photo was provided by Mori on July 7.
