The radiation background in the Far East remains the norm, according to MOE

After the devastating earthquake on 11 March and ensuing tsunami in the Japanese nuclear power plant "Fukushima-1" denied the cooling system. Subsequently, several Units explosions occurred, causing the release of radioactive elements into the atmosphere. She later appeared information about the detection of radioactive elements in air, sea and drinking water and food in some parts of Japan. "On Monday at 10.00 Khabarovsk time (03.00 am MSK) in the Far East exceeded the natural level of background radiation have been recorded. Rates are found within 10 to 17 micro-roentgen per hour, which does not exceed the allowable values, there is no radiation threat, "- noted the official. In total, the Far East region measured background radiation produced by 630 fixed and mobile stations. Monitoring of radioactivity in the sea are experts on research vessels, in the air – helicopters MOE, as well as aircraft of other departments. Experts conduct measurements of radioactivity in air at different distances from the earth. Clock monitoring are specialists MOE, Hydrometeorological Service, Rospotrebnadzor posts radiochemical observation MES of Russia, as well as military units. In total, the Far East region measured background radiation produced by 630 fixed and mobile stations. Monitoring of background radiation as being in the air, aviation MOE, and in the sea – research vessels.
