A group of doctors tested people living in the Fukushima Prefecture of Japan.  That’s where the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant is.  They discovered people living outside the evacuation zones are internally contaminated with radiation.

The doctors tested people in two cities; Iitate Village and Kawamata Town.  They are about 40 kilometers (24 miles) from the nuclear plant.  They tested their urine, to check for internal radiation contamination.  They found the people have three times what is considered normal exposure for one year.

The doctors are telling the people of Fukushima Prefecture to stop eating the locally grown vegetables.
