First batch of auto parts contaminated by nuclear radiation from Japan were seized

Recently, the Russian Sakhalin Customs discovered a batch of radiation-contaminated Japanese auto parts during an inspection of a ship. The Russian president’s representative in the Far Eastern Federal District earlier requested that nuclear radiation inspection of goods and goods imported from Japan should be strengthened. Russian Customs officials stated that “the auto parts were shipped from Japan to Sakhalin by SAGA. During the inspection period, there was a slight excess of radiation in the accessories used for subaru Impreza. More than doubled the amount of natural radiation.”

The catastrophic earthquake on March 11 in Japan and the resulting tsunami resulted in the failure of the cooling system of the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant, which triggered several explosions on multiple units of the nuclear power plant, resulting in leakage of nuclear radiation. Since then, there have been constant reports of radiation violations in some areas of Japan including air, seawater, drinking water, and food.
