Fukushima seafood goes on sale after radiation tests![]() June 25, 2012 - 17:23 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The first catch of seafood from Japan's Fukushima coast since last year's nuclear disaster is going on sale after passing radiation tests, Belfast Telegraph reported. The Fukushima Prefectural (state) fishing co-operative said only octopus and whelks were available. They were caught on Friday, June 22 and boiled so they last longer while getting tested for radiation. The association said the amount of radioactive caesium was so low it was not detectable. Octopus and whelks were chosen for the first test shipment because they measured low in radiation. Flounder, sea bass and other fish from Fukushima cannot be sold yet because of radiation contamination. The March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami devastated the north-eastern Japan coast. ![]() ![]() Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert.
