News about nuclear accident in Fukushima in April 2011 -
Japanese containers possibly radioactive Tokyo is Japan's main
container port and is just 200 kilometres from the stricken
Fukushima nuclear plant, the Safe Port Foundation says. "A
single container doesn't pose a serious threat but a great many
grouped in a single area could cause dangerous radiation
levels", the organisation explains. Not only ports in China and
the US are likely to face the threat, the foundation's website
warns, but harbours in Europe are also expected to be exposed.
Port staff are urged not to touch anything coming from Japan
unless it is strictly necessary. It is wrong to assume, the
organisation stresses, that most radioactive material is washed
away or blown off the ships and the containers during a long sea
voyage.Source: rnw.nl - Radioactive Japanese cars detained in
