China’s quality watchdog has found 10 cases of ships, aircraft or cargo arriving from Japan with higher than normal levels of radiation since mid-March, following damage to a Japanese nuclear plant after an earthquake, the agency said.
One of the cases involved a cargo of scrap material on a ship from Japan that was detected on April 1 at the eastern port of Taizhou in Zhejiang province. … The day before, another ship from Japan was found to have higher than normal radiation when it docked at China’s Ningbo port [and] at least two bulk carriers carrying metal scrap from Japan had been rejected by Ningbo and Taizhou ports in Zhejiang because of radiation levels above Chinese standards.
