Radioactive cesium far exceeding the legal limit has been detected in hay that was fed to cattle at a farm in Fukushima Prefecture. The prefecture has been investigating why the cattle were contaminated with the radioactive substance. On Sunday, officials took samples of feed and well water at the farm located in Minamisoma City within the planned evacuation zone. 75k Bq/kg (75,000 becquerels per kilogram) of cesium has been detected in the feed. This far exceeds the government's safety limit of 300 becquerels per kilogram.

The farmer says the cattle had been kept inside but were fed with hay left outdoors after the March nuclear accident.
