福島縣出產新米放射性物質檢查及格

Recently the FNN on-line reported the following:

福島県で、収穫した新米の放射性物質検査を1袋ごとに行う「全袋検査」が、25日から始まった。

福島県内のトップを切って検査が行われたのは、早場米の「五百川」。
出荷したのは、二本松市のコメ農家・安斎孝行さん。安斎さんは「不安ですよ、当然。だんだん、心臓がバクバクしてきまして」と話した。

検査の基準は、1kgあたり80ベクレル(Bq)以下。検査の結果、安斎さんが出荷した14袋は、全て基準を下回った。安斎さんは「ほっとして、目が潤みます。本当にうれしい限りです」と話した。

これからコメの収穫が本格化する福島県内では、およそ35万トン、1,200万袋の検査が行われる。

"Full bag inspection" which would conduct radioactive material inspection on the new rice in each individual bag harvested in Fukushima Prefecture had started on the 25th.

It was the "Ikagawa" early rice being the top in Fukushima that was cut to conduct the inspection. It was the rice farmer from Mr. Takayuki Anzai of Nihommatsu that was shipped out. Mr. Anzai said “it is uneasy, naturally. The heart was like jumping out”.

The standard of the inspection was below 80 Bq per kg (Bq). All of 14 bags which were shipped out by Mr. Anzai, they were within the standard as shown in the result of the inspection. Mr. Anzai said that “feels the relief and eyes are wet. It is a really delightful to the limitation."

In Fukushima rice harvest would become a regular event from now on; inspection on about 350,000 tons in 12 million bags would be conducted.

It is good news that the rice produced in Fukushima prefecture is safe for consumption.
