Japan discovered the first case of highly contaminated rice

The Ministry of Agriculture of Japan has just reported that the first case of contaminated rice was higher than that, since then it had to perform thorough analyzes before harvesting.

Japan continuously discovered traces of radioactive substances in food.

Government officials yesterday requested further tests after detecting high levels of contamination in rice grown near the faulty nuclear power plant in Fukushima.

Analysis results in the Nihonmatsu area, Fukushima Prefecture, 56 km east of the nuclear accident site, showed that the concentration of cesium radioactivity in rice was up to 500 becquerels / kg, higher than the norm set to 200 bequerels / kg.

In this situation, Fukushima Prefecture will increase inspection points. If the concentration of cesium surpasses the ceiling of 500 bequerels / kg, the government is required by the government to stop the production of rice from this area.

Thus, the detection of high cesium concentrations in rice extended the list of contaminated foods. This makes Japanese people feel unsafe in terms of food safety.

Immediately after the Fukushima incident, traces of radioactive substances were discovered in food.

Earlier, it was believed that Tokyo's drinking water was contaminated, then Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) discharged highly contaminated water into the sea seriously affecting seafood resources, and most recently the cow was raising contaminated grass makes the region's livestock industry close to the nuclear plant.
