静岡、大阪等地牛肉有超標放射性物質(II)

Recently the FNN News reported the following:

ほかにも2頭を大阪府の業者が仕入れたこと、また愛媛県の業者から徳島県の店に販売されていることが11日夜、明らかになった。
今回の問題の原因となったのは、農家が餌として牛に与えていたわらだった。
会見で、福島県は「原子力発電所の事故発生後も外にですね、水田に管理していた稲わらを収集をいたしまして、家畜である牛に与えたというようなことでございました」と話した。
福島県の調べでは、農家が牛に与えていたわらから、国の基準のおよそ60倍となる7万5,000ベクレルのセシウムを検出した。
この農家は「配合飼料が不足したため、禁じられていることを知りながら与えた」と話しているという。
これを受け、福島県は餌の取り扱いで同様のケースがないか再点検を始め、さらに計画的避難区域などから出荷される食肉に放射性物質が含まれていないかどうか、全頭検査を始めることを決めた。
枝野官房長官は「全頭検査についてはですね、関係省庁で実際にどういうことが可能であるのか、より安全性と安心感を高めるために検討いただいていると承知しております」と述べた。

In addition, regarding the matter that the trader in Osaka Prefecture had stocked with two, it was clarified on the night of the 11th that they were sold to the shop in Tokushima Prefecture by the trader in Ehime Prefecture.
It was straw that the farmers had been giving to cows as food that caused the problem.
In the interview, in Fukushima Prefecture it was said "At the outside, the rice plant straw used for managing the rice field was collected, and was given to the cows as domestic animal after the nuclear plan accident occurred".
In the investigation in Fukushima Prefecture, cesium at 75,000 Becquerel, which was about 60 times above the standard of the country was detected from the straw that farmers had given to the cows.
This farmer seemed to have said that"To feed them even knowing that it was forbidden because of the shortage in mixed forage".
Having noted that, the Fukushima Prefecture, regarding the handling of the feed, would do re-checking to ensure there were no similar cases; in addition, it was decided that a blanket testing would be started to check whether radioactive substance was included in the meat shipped from the pre-designated shelter districts etc.
The Chief Cabinet Secretary Edano described, "About the blanket testing, it is agreed that the ministries concerned would examine what was actually possible, and do it for the purpose of improving safety or increasing the sense of security ".

It seems that people have good reasons to cast doubt over their government's ability to handle the crisis.
