NEW YORK, Sept 27 — Russia may join China in banning Japanese seafood imports after Japan released treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea, and Moscow is seeking talks with Japan, a Russian regulator said yesterday.
Russian food safety watchdog Rosselkhoznadzor yesterday said it had discussed Japanese food exports with its Chinese counterparts. Russia is one of the biggest marine product suppliers to China and is seeking to increase its market share. Japan will scrutinise yesterday's announcement by Russia, the top Japanese government spokesperson Hirokazu Matsuno said today.
On Monday, in its latest report on water testing, Japan’s Ministry of Environment said analysis results of seawater, sampled on September 19, showed the tritium concentrations were below the lower limit of detection at all 11 sampling points and would have no adverse impact on human health and the environment.
