Fisheries Agency lifted the restriction of bonito fishing only by checking 2 fish

Fisheries Agency allowed them to fish bonito in Fukushima offshore except for 30 km area. The day before they lifted the restriction, they allowed them to fish in 530 km area. Fisheries agency assume they will fish bonito around 250 km area from Fukushima plants and checked the samples on 1/22/2012. However, they only checked 2 samples.

The local prefectural government of the port is supposed to check the samples from Fukushima offshore once a day.

水産庁、福島県沖のカツオ漁にOK

福島原発
福島第一原子力発電所の事故による海洋汚染をめぐり、水産庁は22日、福島県東方沖250キロでカツオ2匹を採取して検査したところ、放射性物質は検出されなかったと発表した。
同庁は同日、同原発から30キロの海域を除き、同県沖でカツオ漁を認めると関連業界団体に通知した。

前日に530キロ以東の漁を解禁したのに続く措置。カツオの漁場ができるのは同県東方沖250キロ前後の海域だと予測されており、同庁は「実際に漁をするのは原発から250キロ程度離れた海域」とみている。

福島県沖で取れたカツオは、水揚げ港で地元の県が週に1度放射性物質をサンプル検査する。

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.
