China sends out radiation monitoring team to West Pacific
Print Edition
A marine monitoring team departed from Xiamen in southeast China’s Fujian Province on Sunday to monitor radiation in the west Pacific, the State Oceanic Administration announced yesterday.
Aboard the monitoring vessel Xiangyanghong-06, the team will monitor the distribution and spread of radioactive substances from Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear power plants in the west Pacific and analyze its impact on the region and China’s territorial waters. The monitoring team will sail about 5,000 nautical miles in 50 days.
Citing data collected after a 40-day monitoring of the Western Pacific Ocean from April to June, the SOA said radioactive contaminants were detected in waters and fish in the ocean southeast of Fukushima, but that no impact on Chinese waters had been reported.
The administration has so far carried out five regular monitoring of the ocean since the Fukushima nuclear accident in March 2011.
