A partir du 15 mai 2015, Taïwan va interdire toute importation de nourriture du Japon.

Depuis le 11-3, Taïwan interdisait les importations alimentaires des 5 préfectures entourant Fukushima et exigeaient des contrôles de la radioactivité sur plus de 800 sortes d’importations alimentaires. Le 16 avril 2015, Taïwan a déclaré mettre en place d’autres restrictions sur les importations alimentaires japonaises qui vont interdire pratiquement toutes les importations alimentaires du Japon.

Le ministère japonais de l’Agriculture, des Forêts et de la Pêche affirme que les dispositions prises par  Taïwan ne sont pas basées sur des faits scientifiques et pense faire appel auprès de l’OMC (Organisation Mondiale du Commerce).

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.
