According to Tepco, they found two more extremely radioactive pieces in Naraha-machi.

On 7/3/2013, Ministry of the Environment found radioactive pieces in the dry river bed of Naraha machi Fukushima.

In the further investigation, Tepco and Ministry of the Environment found two more substances in the same area on 7/6/2013.

One of them was taken to Fukushima nuclear plant for analysis during the day (A). The other one is planned to be taken to the plant for analysis on 7/8/2013 as well (B).

(A) is 2cm, 2cm, 0.1cm, (B) is 16cm, 2cm, 0.5cm. The surface dose is 250μSv/h on (A) and 105μSv/h on (B). 

Though they stated Plutonium is too heavy to be blasted, they assume these pieces might be scattered by the accident. It is not announced why  Ministry of the Environment doesn’t analyze the substances by themselves.
