Japan nuclear breakdown, radiation emission not threaten Sakhalin
YUZHNO-SAKHALINSK, March 15 (Itar-Tass) -- The breakdowns at the
Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant and the radiation emission, which were
triggered by a strong earthquake and a tsunami in Japan on March 11, pose no threat for Sakhalin sea biological resources, the chief of the
laboratory of the coastal resources and aquacultures in the Sakhalin
Research Institute of Fisheries and Oceanography Dmitry Galanin said on Tuesday.
"Certainly, the radiation can affect all people in theory, as we live on one planet. However, there are no reliable reports about any radiation threat for the island region. As far as the oceanic currents are concerned the Kuroshio current is flowing along the Pacific coast of Japan, but at the middle of Hokkaido makes a turn and starts moving in the ocean. No radiation contamination threat exists for Sakhalin fish and shellfish," Galanin said.
Meanwhile, other countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and the Philippines, have taken the radiation control measures for all types of food products imported from Japan, including fish and sea products, as well as canned sea products.
