"The release of large amounts of radiation in Japan will exacerbate the situation seriously," said Chairman of the German Radiation Protection Authority Federal Wolfram Koenig, during his interview with the daily. "However, in Europe and Germany, we can only examine the traces of radiation," said Koenig added.
An official with the Environmental Monitoring of Russia, Wednesday, said the radioactive particles from nuclear power plants in Fukushima damage can spread throughout the world in the coming weeks. However, they will not affect the background radiation and does not threaten health.
