A trace amount of radioactive contaminants has been detected in rainwater on Jeju Island off South Korea's southern coast, a state nuclear safety agency said Thursday.
The Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS) said tests conducted on rainwater that fell in the early morning hours of the day showed minuscule traces of iodine-131, cesium-134 and cesium-137. |

""Such levels are so minute that a person can drink 2 liters of such water for an entire year without any health risks," KINS said."

Anyone that freaks out over this, go live in a plastic bubble. |

I'm guessing it's just badly phrased since it says trace amounts, but it sounds like drinking a mug of water once per month would put you over the limit. Maybe it means 2 litres per day for a year? |
