No increase in radiation levels in Russian Kamchatka - EMERCOM
VLADIVOSTOK, March 29 (Itar-Tass) - Environmental officials say
radiation in Russian Kamchatka's air remains below levels of concern.
According to updated reports, it does not exceed 12 microroentgen per
hour, which is much lower than the permissible level of 30 microroentgen, the press service of the Russian emergencies ministry's Kamchatka department told Tass on Tuesday.
Radiation levels are checked every two hours at 70 radiation control stations. Besides, checks have been made from a Mi-8 helicopter of the emergencies ministry over the biggest cities of the peninsula - Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Yelizovo and Vilyuchinsk.
Radiation levels have not exceed four microroentgen per hour. Such
monitoring has continued on Kamchatka since March 11, when a massive quake and tsunami hit Japan and damaged the Fukushima nuclear power plant. No increase in radiation levels has been fixed there since then. The permissible level for the Russian peninsula is 30 microroentgen per hour.
All cargoes arriving from Japan and the regions neighboring on it are checked at the sea port of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and at the airports of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Yelizovo. There have been no reports about radioactive contamination as of yet, according to the regional government.
