Radiation background in Far East normal - Emergencies Ministry
KHABAROVSK, March 14 (Itar-Tass) - The radiation background in the Far
East remains normal after several explosions hit Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant, according to a radiation survey on Sakhalin, in Khabarovsk and the Primorsky territory, the Far Eastern regional centre of the Emergencies Ministry told Itar-Tass on Monday.
There is no threat to life and health of people residing in the area.
"Experts say radioactive contamination of the region's territory is
unlikely," the source said. "According to the regional department of the
hydrometeorology and environmental monitoring, within the upcoming five
days northeast winds will prevail in Japan's emergency areas and they will bring air masses contaminated with radioactive emissions to the Pacific Ocean."
The Far Eastern hydrometeorological service and the Emergencies
Ministry conduct round-the-clock monitoring of the radiation background.
At present, radiation background in regions of the Far Eastern Federal District is normal from 10 to 15 microroentgen per hour, when the norm is 30 microroentgen.
