Russia mulls joining China in banning Japanese seafood imports

This comes after Japan released treated radioactive water from the wrecked nuclear power plant.

Japan started releasing water from its Fukushima nuclear power plant into the ocean last month.

Japan started releasing the water from the plant into the ocean last month, drawing strong criticism from China. In retaliation, China imposed a blanket ban on all aquatic imports from Japan. “Taking into account the possible risks of radiation contamination of products, Rosselkhoznadzor is considering the possibility of joining with Chinese restrictions on supplies of fish products from Japan,” Rosselkhoznadzor said in a statement. “The final decision will be made after negotiations with the Japanese side.”Rosselkhoznadzor said it had sent a letter to Japan on the need to hold talks and requesting information on Japan’s radiological testing of exported fish products by Oct.

Japan says the water is safe after being treated to remove most radioactive elements except tritium, a radionuclide difficult to separate from water. It is then diluted to internationally accepted levels before being released.“We strongly ask Russia to act based on scientific evidence,” Matsuno told a Wednesday press conference, adding that Russia was a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency ’s Fukushima expert team, which in July greenlighted the water release plan.
