Bloomberg online is reporting at 2:00 today that passengers arriving at Dallas-Fort Worth and Chicago O’Hare airports this afternoon from Tokyo triggered radiation security alarms when they disembarked and entered the airport.
Further testing at Dallas showed low level radioactive contamination on passenger luggage and on particles trapped in the aircraft cabin air filters.
No passengers were detained at the airport.
Tokyo is about 220 km from the damaged reactors.
A "No Fly" zone for civilian aircraft has been in in effect in the vicinity of the reactors since early yesterday.
