Cesium contamination in beef

Cesium contamination in beef

MINAMISOMA, Japan - A cow is fed straw in Minamisoma, Fukushima Prefecture, on July 12, 2011, after the prefectural government said straw posed no problem as animal feed. Beef of several cows shipped from the area near the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station was recently found to contain high levels of radioactive cesium. Some believe the cows had eaten straw saturated with cesium released by the power station.

            Kashiwazaki Mayor Sakurai receives a proposal from TEPCO to decommission the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station.

            Masahiro Sakurai, the mayor of Kashiwazaki City in Niigata Prefecture, said on April 19 that the decommissioning plan for the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station submitted by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) Holdings, Inc. In August, the company announced its intention to decide on a policy of decommissioning one or more nuclear reactors within five years if it were to resume operations of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa No. 6 and No. 7 reactors and secure a non-fossil power source ratio of more than 40%, combining renewable energy and nuclear power. Although the reactors passed the government's safety inspection in December 2017, Niigata Governor Hideyo Hanazumi has said that he will not discuss restarting the reactors until the results of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident Verification Commission's review are available.
