黑龙江检测出极微量放射物

据新华社报道，国家核事故应急协调委员会周六称，在我国黑龙江省东北部空气中发现了极微量的人工放射性核素碘-131，初步确认系来自日本福岛第一核电站事故放射性物质的释放。

现在监测到的放射性污染物对当地公众产生的剂量小于天然本底辐射剂量的十万分之一，因此无需采取任何防护措施。

China detects minor radiation from Japan

An extremely small amount of radioactive iodine-131 was detected in the atmosphere in northeast Heilongjiang Province, Xinhua reported. Test results confirm that the radiation is from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, the National Nuclear Emergency Coordination Committee said Saturday.

The amount of radioactive materials is one-one-hundred-thousandth of normal levels, so no protective measures are needed.
