“The service will continue to monitor aquatic biological resources from areas transboundary with Japan that pose a threat to the health of Russian consumers. Rosselkhoznadzor is also carrying out work to introduce into the work of the laboratories of the Service a methodology for measuring the volumetric (specific) activity of tritium in environmental objects, objects of technological and biological media using liquid scintillation spectrometric radiometers of alpha and beta radiation MI-97-2023, developed by EcolodgesLab LLC. , they added there.
According to experts, in order to assess the safety of fish and seafood obtained from fishing zones allegedly contaminated with radioactive substances, Rosselkhoznadzor requested data on the methods of laboratory testing of such products carried out by the Japanese side for the content of tritium, cesium and strontium.
“Data on the frequency of sampling for radiological studies and the maximum permissible levels of radioactive substances in seafood were also requested,” the department concluded.
Experts previously interviewed by RT spoke about the consequences of a leak of radioactive water at the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant in Japan.
