Tomorrow, radioactive clouds come to Vietnam

According to calculations by scientists, tomorrow (March 25), radioactive clouds will come to Vietnam. The professional agency confirmed that the monitoring stations were prepared to be able to warn the levels of radiation in the clouds early in our country.

Director of Department of Radiation and Nuclear Safety, Dr. Ngo Dang Nhan said, according to Norwegian scientists' forecast, radioactive clouds will reach the South of Vietnam tomorrow. However, Nhan affirmed that these clouds do not cause any harm to people's health.

Monitoring data of environmental radiation monitoring and warning stations of the Ministry of Science and Technology on March 23 also confirmed that radioactive dispersal has not been detected in Vietnam. Even so, Vietnam's monitoring stations are prepared to be able to warn early levels of radiation in the clouds when they arrive in Vietnam.

If the case exceeds the permitted level, the Department of Nuclear Radiation Safety of the Ministry of Science and Technology will be responsible for warning people.

The incident information processing working group of Fukushima I nuclear power plant of the Ministry of Science and Technology announces the latest developments:

The incident of Fukushima I nuclear power plant is still under control. However, there are still complicated developments: Yesterday afternoon (March 23), the operating temperature of Unit 1 increased to 400 oC; Japanese authorities also detected radioactive contamination (I-131 and Cs-137) in drinking water samples in 7 neighboring provinces around the factory, but were below the permitted level. Along with that, the cloud containing radioactive nuclei has spread widely and many of CTBTO's monitoring stations have been recorded, but still at a safe level for human health.

Due to concerns about some radioactive Japanese food that can be imported into our country, Director Ngo Dang Nhan informed that there will be tools to check with food imported from Japan into Vietnam. Male.If the signal has unusual signs, it will be widely informed to the people . In fact, in recent weeks, many city moms have rushed to buy milk imported from Japan in large quantities, fearing that the imported milk batches might be contaminated with radiation.
