VLADIVOSTOK, Russia, March 15 | Tue Mar 15, 2011 3:17am EDT
(Reuters) - Radiation levels rose slightly in Russia's Far East on Tuesday but stayed within normal levels, local officials said.
Radiation in Vladivostok, some 800 km (500 miles) northwest of Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant, were 1 microroentgen per hour higher at 0400 GMT than six hours previously, the regional interior ministry said.
Japan warned radiation levels had become "significantly" higher around a quake-stricken nuclear power plant after explosions at two reactors. (Writing by Amie Ferris-Rotman, editing by Guy Faulconbridge)
