Dr. Nguyen Nhi Dien said, it is likely that today (March 25), radioactive clouds are not coming to the mainland as forecast, but tend to be pushed to the sea far away because of changes in the wind and now the wind is blowing. east - southeast.

According to experts, if there is radioactive cloud coming from Japan, people should not be too worried because the radiation level is very low, making it difficult to affect human health. Dr. Dien said that the monitoring work at the radioactive measuring stations of the Dalat Nuclear Research Institute still works regularly so that when there are other signs, it will be officially announced. Previously, Da Lat monitoring station recorded the results of environmental radiation control on two days 22 and 23 March, including in the gas dust only observed natural radioisotopes are: Be-7 originated from cosmic rays; K-40, Th-232 and U-238 are derived from dirt.

Data of the Center for incident response - Department of Radiation and Nuclear Safety in Hanoi on March 23 also showed that there was no abnormal radiation increase compared to the previous days.
