Radiation in Tokyo has been negligible,_ briefly touching three times the normal rate on Tuesday, smaller than a dental Xray. On Wednesday, winds over the Fukushima (福岛) nuclearpower plant blew out to sea, keeping levels close to normal. But that does little to relieve public anxiety about a 40yearold nuclear plant with three reactors in partial meltdown (熔毁)and a fourth with spent atomic fuel exposed to the atmosphere after last Friday's earthquake and tsunami.
“Radiation moves faster than we do，” said Steven Swanson, a 43yearold American who moved to Tokyo in December with his Japanese wife to help with her family business.He is staying indoor but is tempted to leave.“It's scary.It's a triple threat with the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear radiation leaks.It makes you wonder what's next. ”
