"Under government guidelines, water containing a radioactive substance of more than 100 becquerels per kilogramme should not be used for milk for babies," the city official told reporters.

In one Tokyo ward, a water sample contained more than double the legal limit, at 210 becquerels per kilogramme, the official said.
