18,700 Bq/Kg of cesium was measured from trout caught in Niidagawa of Iidate mura, Fukushima prefectural government reported on 3/28/2012. This is the highest reading among all the fish caught from sea and river.
The former highest reading was 14,400 Bq/kg from young lancefish, caught offshore of Iwaki shi last April.

放射性物質:飯舘のヤマメ、1万8700ベクレル検出

福島県は28日、飯舘村の新田川(にいだがわ)で捕れたヤマメから国の暫定規制値(1キロ当たり500ベクレル)を大きく超える1万8700ベクレルの放射性セシウムを検出したと発表した。昨年4月にいわき市沖で捕れたコウナゴの1万4400ベクレルを超え、海を含め魚からの検出値では最高となる。県は関係漁協に新田川本流・支流全域でヤマメを捕獲したり、食べないよう自粛を要請した。4月のヤマメ漁解禁の前に試験採取したもので、流通していない。【乾達】

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
