CHINA is not under any threat from radioactive contamination from Japan's tsunami-hit Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant - at least for the next three days, according to analysis yesterday.
The National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center said in a statement that over the next three days radioactive fallout would mainly affect the waters off Fukushima in northeast Japan. Contaminants, which previously reached the waters off the northeast coast of Tokyo, had moved east into the Pacific Ocean with the currents, according to the statement.
The forecast, from an emergency response center in Beijing affiliated with the World Meteorological Organization and the International Atomic Energy Agency, also indicated that the air currents would carry the contaminants east into the ocean. China would remain unaffected over the next three days, the center said.
As of 5pm yesterday, the air monitoring results from 41 cities across the country remained normal, according to China's national nuclear emergency coordination committee. The latest air monitoring results showed that China remained unaffected by the radioactive leaks, according to the National Nuclear Safety Administration, under China's Ministry of Environmental Protection.
