US is rejecting the import of Japanese beef, but they may be right. (cf. US rejected importing Japanese beef for radioactive contamination)
130 Bq/Kg of cesium was measured from beef in Tochigi.
On 8/21/2012, agricultural department of Tochigi prefecture announced they measured 130 Bq/Kg of cesium from beef in Yaita, Tochigi. It’s 120km from Fukushima plant.
The safety limit is 100 Bq/kg, the contaminated beef was abandoned.
They also measured 1086 Bq/Kg of cesium from the pasture.
Even though the radiation level is lower than the safety limit, other beef may be contaminated because of the pasture.
