Akhir 15, 1432 / March 20, 2011, SPA -- The U.N. atomic watchdog said on Sunday there had been some positive developments at Japan's disaster-hit nuclear power plant in the last 24 hours but that the overall situation remained very serious, according to Reuters. Graham Andrew, a senior official of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), also said radiation levels in major Japanese cities had not changed and remained below dangerous levels. He said the IAEA could confirm that in some areas near the plant radioactive iodine had been detected in some freshly grown vegetables. "There have been some positive developments in the last 24 hours but overall the situation remains very serious," he told a news conference.
