Radiation Alert!! High level of radiation detected in Tokyo playground

An  unusually high level of radiation around playground equipment has been detected in a Tokyo park.

Authorities recorded up to 480 microsieverts per hour at one spot - nearly half the recommended annual limit of exposure for a person.

It may be added that the incident comes days after a drone with traces of radiation landed on top of the prime minister's office.

Authorities believe that the radiation could be coming from something buried underneath the park.
