10/12/2011 The major news this week is the Strontium-90 found in Yokohama, which is even further from Fukushima I than Tokyo

There are many corroborating sources regarding deadly radionuclides or high levels of radiation being found far from the 20 km exclusion zone around Fukushima I. Bloggers, CNN, ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) and Kyodo News (amongst others) have confirmed that Strontium-90 has indeed been found in Yokohama, which is South of Tokyo and even further away than the major city from the melted down Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The apartment rooftop where the Stontium-90 was found is 155 miles (250 km) away from Fukushima I. This indicates that dangerous radioactive contamination is more far reaching than originally thought.  Note that the testing was done by a private testing lab, not the government.
