Radioactive Japanese wave nears U.S.
In the wake of the deadly tsunami that hit Japan in 2011 and severely damaged a nuclear reactor, Japanese officials say the levels of radiation are safe for everyone outside the reactor area itself.

Medical radioactive material truck 'stolen in Mexico'
A truck carrying medical radioactive material has been stolen in Mexico, the UN's nuclear watchdog says. Mexico told the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that the truck was carrying a "dangerous radioactive source" used for cancer treatments when it was stolen on Monday. The radiotherapy source was being taken from a hospital in the northern city of Tijuana to a waste storage centre.
