Fukushima rice put on sale after radiation test

Posted Image

This year's first rice harvest from Fukushima Prefecture has gone on sale after clearing radiation checks.

Radioactivity levels exceeding the government standard were detected in rice harvested in the prefecture last year following the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi plant.

The prefecture is conducting mandatory tests on all rice before shipment this year.

A store run by the agricultural cooperative in Nihonmatsu City had 100 kilograms of the rice available for sale on Tuesday.

The rice was harvested last week.

Cooked samples of the rice were offered to customers to try, and many bought 2-kilogram-size bags to take home.

Fukushima prefecture plans to use 192 radiation detectors to check all 360,000 tons of rice that will be harvested this season.
