But how can we be sure the Japanese are honest with their labeling? After the tsunami Japanese were shipping their contaminated seafood to Canada and other parts of the worldYeah, there is considerable concern with respect to Japanese food (especially seafood) these days here. I guess Japan should provide regional labeling (truthfully), otherwise, a forced TO ruling would further cement people's negative perception of Japanese food.
Well,US have some responsiblity on conniving.But Politicians in Tokyo got balls in American hand. That truth. America got chain ! Look at Germany! Also chained to America.
Brilliant idea,so this important work had better to be assigned to India.IMHO, no-matter how securely we try to contain nuclear wastes on earth, the risk of leakage will always remain, therefore it's better to transfer those to the moon considering that no life form exists there and now that we've the tech. to go there......or just throw then in open space and let them drift away, may be, they will hit a planet/star in billion billion light years by which time they will no longer be radioactive......
Oh GOD, Are you kidding me, Japan? Do I need take a radioactive detector with me to seafood restaurant? Damn it
At least 82 bags filled with contaminated material from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant have been swept away by flood water as typhoon Etau hit Japan, officials said. TEPCO said rainwater from the nuclear plant has been leaking into the Pacific.

Flooding caused by Tropical Typhoon Etau has swept at least 82 bags suspected to contain radioactive grass and other contaminated materials that had been collected at the site of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (NPP). They had been stored in a nearby town in the same prefecture, the Environment Ministry said on Friday, according to local media. Though the Ministry went on to say that most of the bags had been recovered undamaged, local media reported that only 30 of the bags had been found.
Officials said the flooding had not reached the nuclear reactors damaged in the 2011 disaster, when the NPP was hit by a tsunami that had been caused by an earthquake. The nuclear disaster at Fukushima, which took place over four years ago, was dubbed the worst since the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident.
Earlier on Friday, Tokyo Electric Power CO. (TEPCO), the company in charge of the damaged NPP, said that one of the holding tanks on the premises of the plant has been leaking drainage rainwater into the ocean. Later in the day, TEPCO said the leakage had been stopped. According to the company’s website, there have been several similar cases in recent days.

“On September 9th and 11th, due to typhoon no.18 (Etau), heavy rain caused Fukushima Daiichi K drainage rainwater to overflow to the sea,” TEPCO said, adding that the samples taken on Wednesday “show safe, low levels” of radiation.
“From the sampling result of the 9th, TEPCO concluded that slightly tainted rainwater had overflowed to the sea; however, the new sampling measurement results show no impact to the ocean,” it continued.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga warned that the rainwater drenching the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant could flow into the Pacific Ocean, the Japan Times reported on Friday. However, he told reporters that the radiation level of such rainwater would be “sufficiently below” the legally permitted level.
TEPCO said on Friday it will continue to monito
Scary. I would suggest California people to have radioactive detector with himself/herself.
It will be quite useful when in supermarket or seafood restaurant.
Should be is different than can do.From my understanding, based on Japan's industry capability and technology, Japan should be able to build a secure place for keeping those waste safely.
Oh...
There are bad man...
They even transport the nuclear contamination soil to Qingdao...
Today's news, maybe the effect from Fukushima disaster . It's really worrisome.
