Japan corrects '10m' radiation level to 100,000

It's better than 10 million times over normal radiation, but it's hardly a comforting thought either at 100,000. Meanwhile yet another robust earthquake hit Japan though so far, no reports of injury or problems. BBC:

The Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) had said radiation levels were 10m times higher than normal before correcting the figure to 100,000 times.

Workers are battling to stop radiation leaks at the Fukushima plant, hit by a quake and tsunami over two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Japan has lifted a tsunami warning that was issued after another earthquake off its northern coast.

The 6.5-magnitude quake struck at 0723 local time on Monday (2223 GMT Sunday), 109km (67 miles) east of the badly-damaged port city of Sendai.
