'Radioactivity' was caught... Eat from Fukushima?

<Anchor> At the

Tokyo Olympics, the food of our team is also a concern.

First, the food served on the Japanese side included ingredients from Fukushima.

So, we tried to prepare the food for our players separately, but even this became difficult.

Reporter Kwon Jong-oh covered it.

<Reporter> Since

two years ago, the Japanese government has pledged to use ingredients from Fukushima, which have a concern about radioactive contamination, in the menu of the Olympic Village.

In preparation for this, the Korean Sports Association has set up a food service support center that can accommodate 120 people at the same time by renting a hotel near the athlete's village for a total of KRW 1.7 billion.

We planned to dispatch 14 Korean cooks to serve Korean food to our players here.

But last month, when the IOC and the Tokyo Organizing Committee announced the COVID-19 quarantine regulations, there was a brake.

According to this rule, Squads must eat only in their Village or Stadium.

Both of these foods are provided by the Tokyo Organizing Committee and contain ingredients from Fukushima.

Anxiety is growing as a radioactive substance cesium, which is more than five times the allowable level, has been detected recently in a bullock caught off the coast of Fukushima.

The sports event, which became urgent, decided to deliver the lunchboxes we made directly to the athletes, but the organizing committee is also struggling.

[Korea Sports Association official: I don't think it's easy because of the corona.

In particular, Japanese people also pay attention to hygiene, right?

I don't think the situation is so easy.] As the

athletes' food intake has a big impact on their performance, the athletic meet is struggling to prepare a countermeasure while continuing to persuade the IOC and the organizing committee.
