Radiation traces found in whales off Japan

TOKYO - Japanese whalers have found traces of radiation in two animals caught along the country's northern coast, presumably because of leaks from a damaged nuclear power plant, officials said Wednesday.
Two of 17 minke whales caught off the Pacific coast of Hokkaido showed traces of radioactive cesium, both about one-twentieth of the legal limit, fisheries officials said.
