Radioactive clouds near Ca Mau but not in Vietnam

The task of handling incident information of Fukushima I-Japan nuclear power plant (under the Ministry of Science and Technology), on March 25, announced, up to 15 o'clock on the same day, the radioactive cloud is currently directed moving down to the southwest (for the location of Fukushima I power plant).

Thus, March 25-26, this radioactive cloud will pass through the South Philippine Islands and head to Indonesia, Malaysia in the coming days.

For Vietnam, on March 25, the cloud moved eastward, flew over near Ca Mau cape but did not enter the mainland and was heading to Malaysia.

Thus, we can temporarily rest assured that radioactive clouds will not threaten the southern region - as Norwegian meteorologists predicted a few days ago.

The Ministry of Science and Technology also said that the incident of Fukushima I nuclear power plant is still complicated. The temperature of the tank of pressure of unit 1 has sometimes increased to 400 degrees Celsius and the radiation in the house of the No. 3 reactor is very high, causing concern about the possibility of destroying fuel rods in tanks and fuel tanks material.

Samples of milk and vegetables taken from the two prefectures of Fukushima and Ibaraki in Japan have the level of contamination of I-131 and Cs-137 exceeding the permitted limit. The level of I-131 contamination in tap water in Tokyo was below the allowable limit for children, while in the two provinces near the plant, Fukushima and Ibaraki, were still above the permitted level.

In addition, the cloud contains a wider dispersed radioactive nucleus and many National Data Center monitoring stations of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (under the Vietnam Atomic Energy Institute). recorded. However, the concentration of radionuclides in the air observed by the stations is reduced by about one order compared to March 24.

' Radioactive dispersal is not recorded in Vietnam on March 25, ' the Ministry of Science and Technology's announcement confirmed.
